A quarter of a million people have transformed their bodies at exhale, the exclusive mind/body spa. Now you can get these same results at home.

Create chiseled arms and washboard abs with Core Fusion Pure Abs and Arms. The program is separated into five segments of just 10 minutes each. 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 tricep jiggle, and build core strength for a healthy, flexible spine.

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. The five Pure Abs & Arms 10-minute workouts, which can be done all together or separately, are focused and challenging. --A.T. Hurley Stills from Exhale: Core Fusion - Pure Abs & Arms (Click for larger image) 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. 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. But at just 10 minutes each, they are manageable even at their most intense, and designed for the best results. 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. The popular Core Fusion series gets right to the point in this excellent abs and arms workout disc.
