Certified instructor description: 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." ©1999.
