Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In Core Performance Essentials, Mark Verstegen—one of America’s most innovative and respected performance coaches—presents a streamlined version of his remarkable Core fitness program. Eliminating all excuses for not working out, this book breaks down fitness essentials into a quick, easy-to-follow routine that takes only 30 minutes and requires no special equipment. There are dozens of workouts designed to improve flexibility, joint stability, and balance—and to create a lean, agile, powerful physique that’s resistant to injury and the ravages of age.
An ideal beginning workout for those who haven’t exercised in years, Core Performance Essentials is also perfect for bodybuilders looking for flexibility, athletes looking to improve performance and decrease the chance of injury, back pain sufferers in need of relief, and, most of all, busy men and women who need to fit their exercise into a crowded schedule.

You should either know the whole theory and figure out what you should be doing on your own, or get a trainer. Trying to get the shortcut (i.e. the exercises without the theory or the $ for a trainer) will be a let down, because, frankly, you can't do the exercises easily while following the book and it's not the type of thing you can take to the gym. That's not to say it's a badly done book by any means, maybe you can get what you need out of it, but for me this type of book was a bust.

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.

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.

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.

Nutritional information is excellent. Excercise section great if you want to get in condition - not so good if you are looking to add size.
