Take the Curl out! demonstrates how personal trainers can invigorate their classes with purposeful, functional core training-without performing a single crunch. The DVD explains why training the core should involve more than just exercising the spinal flexors and extensors. In addition, the DVD reviews how to use a variety of equipment options to develop balance and spinal stability. The result is revolutionary, curl-free core-training classes.

The topics were covered.

• Defining CORE
• The core muscles and the musculature of the trunk region
• The purpose of core training
• The reasons for “strengthening it out”
• Equipment training options for developing balance and spinal stability
