“Fast-track your way to a movie-star body.” –Woman’s World
“Lose the jiggle without the gym.” –Marie Claire
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. 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. 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.
“Try the workout celebs are loving.” –ShapeThe 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. Hurley

This DVD was not worth the money you pay. You don’t get anything out of the workouts (and I’m not anywhere near being in great physical shape) and they’re difficult to follow. When you do follow along with the moves its hard to tell if the moves were actually a part of the workout itself or if you were still in the warm-up/stretching phase. If you’re looking to feel like you’ve gotten something out of a workout and want to push yourself, look elsewhere. I purchased the 30 day shred along with this and it’s kicking my butt.

I have had a lot of trouble finding good pilates type DVDs. I like Ana Caban pilates DVDs but I find that there isn’t a lot of arm workout type stuff on it, mostly just core. I came across this DVD when I searched “arm pilates”. I really like it. There are 5 10 minute workouts. Each workout focuses mostly on one area (ex: the first 10 minutes is basically all arms). I watched the DVD before doing the actual workout and it seemed pretty easy. Woah! It was intense. I wouldn’t say it is hard, but if you are able to complete the workout you can really feel the burn! I have done this workout 3 times and I already feel a change in my arms. It is much more enjoyable than doing those exercise machines at the gym. To do the workout you need 2 small weights (I am using two pound weights right now and they are killer!) and an exercise band, that comes with the DVD!! In only 10 minutes I toned my arms better than I could in an hour at the gym!!
As far as the ab workouts those are really good too. They are the same as most of the pilates workouts I do.
One thing I don’t like, the guy. He’s a little annoying, but if you can get past that this is an excellent DVD!

This is the best DVD for problem areas. I have worked out to a number of DVD’s and this hits the spots. It’s amazing to finally find something that really does what it says.

Overall, I like this DVD. I add the arm segment from Body Sculpt after the two arm segments and my arms are like jelly afterward. However, if I don’t add that segment, it is an average arm workout. I was hoping this dvd would make my arms feel like my butt and thighs do after Body Sculpt or Thighs and Glutes, but it falls slightly short. The other Core Fusion workouts are awesome. This one is good. It goes along the same principal as the other DVD’s which I like. Controlled movements, breathing and stretching. Non-irritating instructors. I recommend it as an add in to other workouts

Just received this in the mail the other day, I am very happy with my purchase. I have done several other exercise tapes, and none of them get watched more than 2-3 times…I certainly see myself continuing on with the Core Fusion tapes! I love that it comes with an exercise band, you wouldn’t be able to do the exercises with out one. You will need weights as well.
These exercises are great for people who don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to exercise and I can already see a difference in my waist and thighs from the previous DVDs I have done after just 8 days! I love fast results!
Highly Recommend!
