Product Description
Most people today are familiar with the importance of core fitness, and Mark Verstegen played a large role in bringing it to the forefront of workout programs everywhere. Drawing upon the success of his first title, Core Performance, but recognizing that many readers want a more streamlined workout, Verstegen has created a simpler yet highly effective program to create a lean, agile, powerful physique that's resistant to injury and the ravages of age. Core Performance Essentials boils down fitness essentials into a quick, easy-to-follow routine that requires minimal equipment and can be done in a hotel room, family room-even an office. It offers the benefits of yoga-with exercises designed to improve flexibility, joint stability, and balance-yet it also demonstrates easy, necessary strength moves using just body weight. Featuring nutrition and lifestyle tips, this book will help readers have more energy and more time to thrive in their different roles all day, every day. This accessible exercise and diet program-perfect for those who haven't exercised in years as well as for anyone who wants a more streamlined workout-takes the same principles Verstegen uses to train elite athletes to thrive in sports, to help readers succeed in what he calls "the game of life."

Core Performance for Weekend Warriors February 6, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought the original Core Performance and found it very informative. I was in the mode of lifting to get bigger instead of better. But, I also found the workouts to be very daunting with the time and equipment I have at home. Core Performance Essentials is more for me. It is Core Performance for Dummies, simpler workouts that still improve your performance as a weekend warrior. The only thing I see missing is the regeneration stretches. I gave my copy of Core Performance to a friend and never got it back and wish I still had the list of stretches. I now do yoga instead, FITtv's Namaste Yoga works great. I would recommend this book if you like me want to improve but do not have the time to be a professional athlete.
good workout October 18, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The concepts in the book are beneficial and I definitely sweat when doing the exercises. I bought the book due to a chronic injury in the hopes of strenghten my core muscles. I think the book is worth getting and overall I would recommend it. For athletes in good shape though, you will start at level 3 or 4 and master the workout within a week or two. However, it is a good supplement to regular exercise programs.
Good stuff! September 27, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am always looking for a good workout and this one was simply amazing. I have been on it for 3 weeks and the results are amazing. Best thing is I am able to slot it into my busy schedule. It is also very low impact since I have bad knees and a weak back, I found this a excellent fit.
Nutrition information excellent May 29, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Nutritional information is excellent. Excercise section great if you want to get in condition - not so good if you are looking to add size.
