Product Description Create chiseled arms and washboard abs with Core Fusion Pure Abs and Arms. Targeted to work your entire upper body, this program will put you on the fast track to a beautifully toned and defined physique. Using a resistance band, you'll sculpt your shoulders and back, lose the triceps jiggle, and build core strength for a healthy, flexible spine. The program is separated into five segments of just 10 minutes each. Pick a few to fit your schedule, or use them together for a complete (and completely rewarding) workout. Plus, the bonus stretch strengthens those hard-to-reach but highly important back and spinal muscles. .com The popular Core Fusion series gets right to the point in this excellent abs and arms workout disc. The five Pure Abs & Arms 10-minute workouts, which can be done all together or separately, are focused and challenging. But at just 10 minutes each, they are manageable even at their most intense, and designed for the best results. The disc, which comes with a nice long resistance band, mixes upper body workouts with great ab movements. The viewer will also want a set of dumbbells for one of the arms workouts; 5 pounds is plenty challenging, because there really is no rest between reps. Instructors Fred DeVito and Elisabeth Halfpapp give clear, encouraging instruction, solely as voice-overs, which enables them to focus on demonstrating proper technique during the workouts themselves. The resistance band makes increasing (or decreasing) the intensity easy, and the high-energy repetitions mean the viewer should feel and see results quickly. Many of the movements are inspired by traditional weightlifting, Pilates, and yoga, but the instructors combine actions in unusual ways to cross-work muscle groups--and to keep things interesting. For working every muscle group in the arms and abs, Pure Abs & Arms is an enjoyable, flexible routine that is also a lot of fun. --A.T.

Love it!!
I really like this DVD. I won't go over the details of each workout since Nancy has done such a great job with that, but here are my thoughts on the DVD.Upper Body Weights:I really enjoyed this segment. If you have the Body Sculpt DVD and use the upper body weight segment from it, this would be a good option to add some variety. I love the 10 minute sessions as I tend to neglect my upper body in my workouts, but it is easy to squeeze this in. If you are looking to make it more difficult, simply add more weight. Easier? Simply use lighter weights. You can also do the second segment. I will also add - I'm in physical therapy currently for my knee so avoid doing standing weights. I was able to complete the majority of the workout while sitting on the edge of a chair.UPDATE: Since there have been some comments about the upper body segments being too easy, I thought it would be helpful to include the amount of weight I am using. I had been lax on my upper body workouts lately so I did this the first two times with 3 lb weights, but now am using 5 lb weights. In the past when I did upper body weights all the time (but not using their DVD), I usually used 10 or 11 lb weights. So, if 5 lbs becomes easy, I will increase the weight to 7 or 8 lbs, etc. The exercises in this routine are traditional exercises just nicely combined into a 10 minute segment.Upper Body with Resistance Band:This is the only segment I have not tried as I was afraid it might bother my knee.Abdominals with Resistance Band:Abdominal Curl with Leg Variations:I really enjoyed these and did both of them together. Although there is a simiilarity between their ab routines, I think these are different enough to make this DVD worth purchasing even if you have the other ones. I really like the Core Fusion ab routines, and since I also have Pilates Plus and Body Sculpt I like that this will give me additional variety. I try to use one of their ab routines three times a week. I think if you do the same routine all the time, your body gets used to it. This shakes things up just enough.UPDATE: The last time I did these two, I did them together again, but I dropped the resistance band for the leg variations segment. It worked just fine without it.Upper Body, Back & Hip Stretches:Wow - I really liked this stretch routine as I do all of their stretch routines. I also have hip dysplasia and as a result it can be painful at times. I really try to work on flexibility for my lower back and hips, and their routines are perfect. I've used this routine a couple times when my hip was a little sore and it felt much better after.BONUS segments:- flat back/rounded back from the Pilates Plus DVD- 8 minute routine from Shiva Rea's Creative Core DVD (I had fun doing this one after the first Core Fusion ab routine.)- NEW 5 minute back routine. This works on both stretches and strength. It is short, but effective. I also give this routine a top rating.If you have Pilates Plus and Body Sculpt and enjoy those, I think this would a good addition and provide some additional variety. If you are new to Core Fusion, the ab routines are quite different than traditional ones with lots of crunch reps. Core Fusion has very long holds, but is very effective.

The Core Fusion series is beyond fantastic!
This DVD comes with a light resistance band. I have every single Core Fusion DVD, and I love them all, although they are each a little different. Body Sculpt and Long and Lean are both full body workouts, the latter a little more challenging than the former. Both Arms and Abs and Thighs and Glutes are self-explanatory. Pilates Plus focuses on abs/core work. And the yoga Energy Flow and the Bootcamp DVDs are cardio workouts, the latter more challenging than the former, although both are quite rigorous and will make you sweat buckets. I have taken both Pilates Mat and Pilates Fusion classes for a few years, and these DVDs are a wonderful complement when I am not in class, and in my opinion, are sometimes even more challenging than what I get in my exercise classes. I have tried a number of different exercise DVDs over the years, and these are the only ones I have ever stuck with. They are very enjoyable, challenging (but not so challenging that you give up), invigorating, interesting (they do not get boring because there is so much variety built in), and I have noticed some subtle differences in my body from my work with both the DVDs and my classes. To really burn fat, though, you have to alter your diet. These DVDs will help with sculpting muscle (like a ballet dancer's body), but not so much with fat loss (at least I have always found that my weight loss occurs with diet and not with exercise, but that's just me.) In short, money well spent, and I highly recommend the series.

Bonus on this pushes my rating to 5 stars!!
CF Pure Abs & Arms comes with a resistance band, which is used a good bit throughout DVD. Fred & Elisabeth talk you through each segment. I enjoy this because it helps keep proper form & breath with the movements. I did my best to breakdown the ab segments, however, I may have missed a couple resets...you will know what I'm talking about if you are familiar with CF. During the abs they mention thoracic breathing, keeping the abdominal wall still - this adds a whole other level to abdominal work. The arm segments are fairly challenging - the arm exercises flow into the next, building the much loved muscle burn feeling! At the beginning of each segment, the usual warm up is done, lifting right arm/left leg.....Core Fusion Pure abs & arms is seperated into five segments that are 10 minutes each.The segments:Upper Body Weights - FredUpper Body - ElisabethAbdominals - FredAbdominal Curl with Leg Variations - FredUpper Body, Back & Hip Stretches - Elisabeth1. Upper Body Weights - You'll need weights & resistance bandStart with weights above head and pull down towards hips,Hold weights shoulder high,extend arms out bring arms down to outer thighs - working deltoidsAlternating arm raises working Anterior DeltoidRow weights up to chin, lift up & press overheadElbows shoulder high extend arms out to the side & curl working bicepsBring arms front alternating arms hammer curlTake weights up, bend elbows back for tricep extensionsRelease one weight, hinge forward holding one weight behind back & lift holdStretching muscles used with band2.

Hold arms out palms down and pulse up. Next, twist to right, hands together in middle, twist to left - working from the hips. Switch legs and repeat.3. Abdominals - resistance band & matC-curve holding resistance band. Keep shoulder blades off mat, let arms go - hold out.

Slowly roll up. Second set, stop where curl, then release down. Last two reps, stop at waist position. Lift legs up in V, pull hands together and small curls.On stomach, counter pose to C-curve - hands down at sides, lift breast bone, arms & legs. Elbows up to ears, thumbs up lift chest & thighs. Lastly, bow stretch4. Abdominal Curl with Leg Variations - Resistance band & yoga block/rolled up towelWith band around ball of left foot, extend left leg up(or bend)& right leg out.

Repeat on right.Yoga block or towel - in between inner thighs, stabalize position of c curve - legs extended. Challenge by lifting arms up. Small curls. Hands behind shoulder blades - if you can =)Get back in position with legs up - twist to left side, hold position. Hands up if possible, reset. Back in position & do small curls. Reset, back into position & raise arms. Repeat on right side.Towel between ankles then get back into position. Jack knife - arms lifting while legs going down & back up. Reset, then place hands behind shoulder blades.The Upper Body, Back & Hip Stretches are exactly that =)There are some excellent hip stretches in this segment. I love any sort of stretching at the end of working out. This segment is much appreciated =)I like this DVD, however, the arm segments weren't as intense as I was hoping for. There were a couple of times I wish my band was the same length as Fred & Elisabeth's. The band that came with the DVD seemed too short for me during a couple of the exercises. Overall I recommend this DVD for those really into callanetics. Beginner & Intermediate exercisers would benefit from this as well. Advanced exercisers may be a little disappointed, as there are more challenging arm/ab workouts available.*******After a nice amazon customer asked a question about the bonus section (which I didn't even realize was there...oops) My attitude has changed. There is some nice back work included, which I desparately need. The bonus consists of:1. Prone Strengthener & Stretch -really nice back work2. from Exhale Pilates Plus (10min)- flat back/round back core3. from Shiva: Creative Core Abs (8 min)- spontaneous core

I liked it but it is very hard!
I been using this for about 2 weeks now, And I have to say I like this DVD! It really is challenging! I like the fact you can pick which workouts to do, it adds spice and i like that! Also the really cool thing on this dvd is the extras! You get to do a 10 mintue workout from another DVD they sell! Also a yoga one from a different teacher.The resistant band that comes with this is great! I really felt the burn when i did the upper body with my arms. phew! The abs workout in this dvd are REALLY hard. So if your not used to an intense workout I wouldnt suggest this dvd until you have worked out your abs a lot before hand, I do this a few times a week along with my cardio tae-bo workouts. I noticed a difference with this dvd with my posture in only after a few times working out to this dvd!The teachers in this dvd are not annoying at all, they are encouraging and make you do that last rep when you feel you want to stop.All and all this is a great dvd to add to your collection and I am going to buy their other pliates dvd (which features one 10 mins session on this dvd, which is why i am planning to buy it that workout was great to!)

Relaxing yet challenging
I've never before liked fitness videos. I was lucky enough to find this one.The instructors don't have the same brash tones that I have encountered in other videos. No super-human enthusiasm or cheesy comments, just encouraging and informative instruction.I appreciate that it's broken up into 10-minute segments. Sometimes it's overwhelming to find an unbroken 30 or 60 minutes for exercise in a busy day. But there's always room for 10 minutes here and there.I find the videos relaxing, almost meditative, yet if I focus on doing the poses properly, I come away feeling "the burn".My fitness level is above-average yet I would recommend this video to a fairly large range of fitness abilities because you can adjust the intensity to suit your needs.Of course, if you're looking to truly sculpt your arms and abs, you'll need cardio to burn fat. If that's what you're looking for, this isn't it. Go for a run and THEN do these videos.

Exhale Pure Abs and Arms
I like this video but the arms part is much easier than the abs one. I am used to doing other types of abs exercises and this is quite hard, especially if you like to move and not stand still to build muscles!
