Core Plus More with Karen Voight

Target your core muscles, toning your abs, back, butt and thighs with this 40-minute routine. You will get strong, lean and long by using your own body's weight as resistance along with a pair of 3lb. Green Genie balls or dumbbells.

This is a great way to elongate and define your body without developing bulging muscles.

Variety is key for keeping your workouts effective and in this routine you'll get new twists on the classic leg lift, pushup and ab crunch. Put more concentration into fewer reps to maximize your results and feel balanced, refreshed and “worked out” all at the same time.

Beautifully produced, exquisitely cued; this flowing workout is designed to develop lean muscles and healthy joint mobility. With Karen's serene attitude and precise instruction, you'll minimize wasted effort while concentrating on your core muscle groups — abs, back, buttocks, legs and arms.

Varying the tempo and range of motion provides a deep/intense workout without heavy weights. It blends body-sculpting classics with graceful and fluid variations of those classics (e.g. pliés that flow into smooth plié/lunge combinations). One-on-one teaching on a peaceful set with light jazz/new age music.

Requires 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells and a weighted fitness ball (or just two balls). Previously titled "Core Essential Fusion."
