This Program Really works

21 Jun 2006 - Sarah of Texas, USA writes:

This Program is Awesome! I have been using it for 6 weeks now and I am seeing results. I lost 20 pounds and 5 inches. I think as long as you stay with the program and use Gunnars Core secret guide to effective eating. You will definatly see results. I had a C-section with my last child and that "baby bump" that is hard to lose is disapearing. I am totally amazed. I would recommend this program to any one who is trying to tone and lose weight. It is fun and effective.

its alright

15 Jun 2006 - Amy of Texas, USA writes:

I was looking for a descent workout at home when I didn't amke it to the gym. It was an OKAY workout. I did feel like I was doing something, but when I checked my heartrate monitor, it was at a measley 107. There is no cardio workout with this at all. The toning aspect is fine, but if you need a good cardio workout, look elsewhere.

If you're big don't buy this.

14 Jun 2006 - Sarah of Michigan, USA writes:

I stupidly bought this a while ago and I wish I would of returned it. I gave it my all and just walked away angry and physically hurt. I tried to do the crunch on it and crashed into my couch. The ball never got as big as it was supposed to and it took forever to inflate. Who knows it could be a good work out, but not for a plus size person. This thing was obviously made by fit people for fit people. On top of all that you would need a huge living room with lots of space to use this worthless garbage called Core Secrets. Don't buy it unless you're already skinny. Like skinny people need to work out.

Don't like it

10 Jun 2006 - Beth of California, USA writes:

I'm an exercise tape "junkie" because I get bored easily and like to rotate my exercise routines. So I have tried my fair shares of different products / exericses... This Core Secrets is a real disappointment - very boring -- tried only once and never touch it again...

I couldn't wait to recieve my Core Secrets , I really thought it would be a work out I would enjoy but it was so boring that after a couple of time I never bothered to play it again.

GOOD AND BAD

2 May 2006 - Lee of North Carolina, USA writes:

I like this workout, its fast paced and really works if you give it time. The excercises are challenging. I saw results within four weeks. The bad thing is the knee pain. If you have knee problems this may make it worse, I had to stop becuase it hurt so much. But the workout itself was super, realy good.

Core Secrets is AMAZING!!!

12 Apr 2006 - Chrissy of Louisiana, USA writes:

One word, FUN! I just recieved Core Secrets for Christmas last year and was addicted from the very first time I did the FUNdamentals tape with Gunnar Peterson and Broooke Burke. Let me just say that the results are REAL and you will see rapid and amazing results as long as you are consistent and stick to the program! I felt it in my abs from the very first workout. I do with in addition to Taebo and Turbo Jam and it's very addicting. It's tricky at first but the more you workout, the more stable you are on the ball and really get into the moves. I definitely see me sticking to this program and reaching my goal weight of 130 pounds by the time I get married! These are the best toning/sculpting workouts. They're fun and effective, I love them! All it takes is a commitment!

Great product

27 Mar 2006 - Jennifer of Georgia, USA writes:

This is a great product and a different way to work the abs. It takes some pressure off the back which is why I've always had a problem doing crunches. It also tones the core while doing other exercises.

I LOVE CORE SECRETS!!!

26 Mar 2006 - Julie of New York, USA writes:

I'm one of those people who has tried almost every workout series ever advertised in an infomercial. I promised myself I would never order another one. Then I saw the CoreSecrets infomercial for the 900th time and decided what's one more! This is the best money I ever spent. I love this workout! I feel better and my jeans are getting looser already! I was afraid I wasn't coordinated enough, but it's really not all that difficult. If I can do it anyone can! I think the "shuffle workout" option is an awesome idea (I'm saving that feature for when I start to get bored) A few people complained about how much Gunnar talks but I was glad that someone finally explained things. Now that I know what he's going to say, I just do more reps while he's talking. I think he's great!! Thank you Gunnar!!!!

Challenging but Productive

24 Mar 2006 - Stephanie of Arizona, USA writes:

I bought Core Secrets 2 days ago, and so far, I am very pleased with the results. After the FIRST time I used it, I saw results. They say that it's OK if at first your are wobbly on the ball, which I am. So I guess that's alright. The downside is that the ball takes forever to blow up. Other than that, it's awesome!!

Not helpful !

11 Mar 2006 - Kristyn of Utah, USA writes:

Gunnar is really boring and uninspiring. I had a hard time getting into these workouts. I wish I would have taken advantage of the money back gauruntee...it was not worth the wait or the money. Gunnar seems uncoordinated and bored while teaching. I had better results with other programs to target my problem areas. I do however LOVE my core secrets ball. I use at as my chair while on the computer. Overall, product not worth the money!

Great addition to program

4 Mar 2006 - Lillian of Ontario, Canada writes:

I purchased Core Secrets just before Christmas, and as I started to work out, I was hammered by a three week cold. Once over that, I injured my knee missing the last stair going down. After getting over that, I am back on with the program and have at least 8-10 of the dvds, and just love it. Gunnar adds so much variety from one workout to another, that this is the key to staying motivated and not letting your muscles adapt. It is good that he has the interval training, and the lower body workouts bump up the heart rate. Has a whole I use Gunar's workouts for strength training, and often add another cardio component to my day if I've got time. The only drawback is trying to find a place to store the stability ball, but this is a minor consideration.

Quick & Challenging

3 Mar 2006 - Manda of Utah, USA writes:

I decided to buy this product because of the low price. I don't have a lot of time to work out everyday and really wanted something that would work my abs. I love Core Secrets! The workout goes so fast that I don't mind doing it. It has only been a couple of weeks and I have already moved up from 5lb to 8lb weights. My arms are starting to get nice definition too! Some negatives? It is a pain to blow up the ball, so I have found a nook I can stick it in. If I had to deflate and inflate it everytime I wanted to work out...I wouldn't. I had some "back pain" when I first started, but I don't believe that it was injury related, just my lower back muscles getting kicked into shape!

Focus Focus Focus

26 Feb 2006 - Stephanie of New York, USA writes:

Initially skeptical of infomercials, I decided to give Core Secrets a go. I was initially disappointed with the ease of the first 2 dvds, however, realizing they are providing basic platform for subsequent workouts. The difficulty increases with each new workout, and it's also helpful to rotate your weights to challange yourself. I do wish Gunner would do the same during the routines. I'm a seasoned excersicer and found adding the stability ball to my routine added great variety and results. Will I continue to use it? Absolutely.

Feel great!

1 Feb 2006 - Liz of New South Wales, Australia writes:

I'd seen the ad about a million times, and thought "I so have to try that!" so eventually I did. I got on the net and I ordered it. As soon as it came I did the fundamentals video, and i continued with just that for about a week. Even just doing that I felt so relaxed and my muscles were open and I slept better. Then I moved up to the 25-minute workout, and the Accelerated Core Training. I've been doing the 25-minute workout 3 times a week, and the Accelerated Core Training twice a week for about 6 months now, and I feel incredible. I wasnt overweight, I was just uncomfortable. Core Secrets is easy enough for anyone at any level to do, and its fun enough that even someone lazy like me has kept it up for 6 months. I sleep better, I still eat everything I want to eat, but i look toned and feel wonderful.

Core Believer

31 Jan 2006 - Stephanie of New Jersey, USA writes:

I have been using Core Secrets since I had the green light from my doctor after the birth of my daughter 8 months ago. To sum it up, you would never know I had a baby. I am back at my pre-pregnancy weight and maybe even a few pounds lighter. Prior to motherhood I used to be an avid runner, but with my little one it's not quite as easy to hit the pavement or the treadmill for that matter. My favorite videos are the 25 min. full body, the ab assault and off the ball. The variety is great and you truly do see results. Gunnar and his crew are motivating and easy to follow. I give this series and A++

Great Workout!

31 Jan 2006 - Amanda of Texas, USA writes:

I am extremely skeptical of infomercials, especially workout equipment/programs. However,this infomercial lives up to its claims. The exercises leave you sore at first, but you know it's working and they aren't hard or awkward to do. After doing it for only 3 days the soreness went away. Even as a beginner with no coordination, it was easy to do because Gunnar takes the time to explain the correct form and positioning on the ball. After doing it for one week I could tell a difference in the way my clothes fit. I highly recommend it to people who are sick of trying to follow fast-paced work-outs with difficult to manage movements!

They're very convincing in the ad and I'm a sucker for infomercials so i tried it. I coulnt get through it between the bore & back pain the next day I think the form they use is unhealthy to be honest. I do not recommend it!

I love this product. I purchased it about a year ago. I went from a size 14 to a size 4/2. I work out every other day. I normally try doing two short videos or one long video every other day. It's the only thing that motivated me. Other workouts seem to hard. This was interesting and kept my attention. I still do it after a year. I watch what I eat. But if I want to eat something everyone in a while that I shouldn't I can do it without feeling quilty. I would recommend this for anyone starting out. Even to those who have exercised for a while and need a different routine. I love it.
