Certified instructor description: A varied series of Pilates, yoga and gym-style exercises filmed on a sunny Hawaiian beach. More than just "abs," this program tones and strengthens your entire core and lower back. Each exercise is formatted in a well-sequenced progression. You'll begin with the easiest version, then advance to the more challenging variation (always maintaining a balanced result by working opposing muscle groups). Gilad's cuing is clear and easy to follow; he usually describes and then personally demonstrates the correct form. Requires a medicine ball for some exercises (e.g. holding the ball between your knees). But most routines could be done with a dumbbell. ©2011.
