Bottom Line & A Core Defined Fitness DVD ~ The Review Stew

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I am a BIG fan of Pilates and of strength workouts so when I saw the new DVD from Patricia Friberg: The Bottom Line & A Core Defined, I knew it would quickly become one of my favorites to do!

This step-wise program will help you learn to activate the core including the gluteal and adominal muscles. Then the workout advances to provide the necessary challenges for a strong core and lifted bottom. This program will help improve your posture and overall athletic performance.

The DVD is broken down into sections that include:

Explanation on how to use the program; An explanation from Physical Therapist, Rebecca Gunn, who gives an expert perspective on core work and why it’s important.
A section on alignment set up and proper position to get the most from the workout.
Bottom Activation 1 ~ Exercises for building endurance in the backside.
Bottom Activation 2
A Core Defined ~ Patricia demonstrates the entire workout as Adam and Trudy show variations with and without a band.

As a certified athletic trainer, I know how important a strong core is for athletes and ALL people to prevent back pain and injuries!

This DVD will really help you learn how to activate your core and develop gluteal strength. This strength will help prevent injuries and give you the performance edge.
