Core Performance The Revolutionary Workout Program to Transform Your Body and Your Life

At your core is the body you’ve always dreamed of. Chances are you haven’t met this body yet. And if you exercise the way most people do-set after set of the same exercises, mile after mile of the same roads-you never will. World-class trainer Mark Verstegen shows you a better way. Most workout programs build you from the outside in, but Verstegen shows you how to change your body from the inside out. You start with your core, the mid-body muscles that control your posture and performance in almost every physical activity you attempt. The Core Performance program is like nothing you’ve ever seen before, teaching you to use simple tools to lose weight and sculpt a strong, lean, flexible, and powerful body.

5 Stars Life changing book!!
I was refered to this book by a friend at my gym. I had hurt my lower back surfing and was in a lot of pain. Due to all the pain I was in, I couldn’t surf or workout and didn’t know what to do. I thought about going to a doctor, but found out how much a MRI costs. I talked with a personal train at my gym as well, but that cost a bunch of money too. My friend at the gym let me borrow this book and I started to learn all about how important core strength is and also how my injury was due to a muscle imbalance. I followed the workouts in this book, and slowly but surely, my back was feeling much better. To make a long story short, I bought this book for myself and have been doing the exercises every since. And guess what, no more back pain whatsoever. I’m surfing and working out regularly and have never felt better. I would defintely recommend this book to anyone with a nagging injury or just to anyone who wants to be stronger and feel better everyday.

The book was recommed to me by a Chiropractor. I received it very quickly and I’m enjoying this book. Thanks

2 Stars Great In Concept, Exceptionally Difficult To Actually Use
This is a great book in concept, but next to impossible to actually use unless you bring the entire book in with you and/or memorize all the workouts, routines, and exercises (which there are a huge amount). The workouts and routines are great, but it basically requires you to buy the cd that creates workout sheets for you. Unless you have a photographic memory, this is very tough.

Also, like all other good workout books, the routines are mostly based on a 5 day a week in the gym for 1+ hours a day. You’ll also have to eat healthy. Not really sure this is so revolutionary. Overall, good book. Really tough to use.

5 Stars Great information, very challenging to incorporate all aspects though
The book in a nutshell – instead of doing the same boring routine every day strengthening the large, showy muscles, grow the “core” muscles that support the larger ones. This will prevent injury and increase performance.

I’ve read the majority of the book, still have some of the nutritional parts to finish. I’ve also been DOING the program, not just reading about it. If you are a novice at exercising and you don’t have a personal trainer, I think you would find this program rather challenging to follow. Most of the stretches etc are ones that you probably have never done before and it will take you some time to figure them out by just reading the description. I also don’t have a gym that is set up for some of the unique Strength training exercises.

What I have done is taken parts of the exercises and incorporated them into my routine. I was lacking in stretching and especially in doing a variety of activities. What I got out of the book was to mix things up a bit so as not to get bored, and to do something that got me breathing harder 30 minutes a day. If you buy a physioball, definitely get one that is one size bigger than what the book recommends – even their own product says to get a bigger size. Overall, the book is very solid and Verstegen has excellent suggestions on how to improve your core performance. If you’re in a rut or getting bored with your routine, this is the book for you.

5 Stars Core Performance- By Mark Verstegen
Great book with practical ideas to get your body moving and in shape. Pre movement activities phase is especially helpful for people who haven’t been working out. Photos are also good for showing movement executions.
