Co-creators of the Core Fusion program and Exhale Spa co-owners Fred DeVito and Elizabeth Halfpapp take center stage for this concentrated calorie-burning workout program. As in other excellent Exhale series titles, this one features good production values and easy-to-follow visuals for routines including “Energy Moves” (with rolling shoulders, calf-stretch pulses, and side bends), “Cardio Flow” (combining weights, kneelifts, lunges, and side-plank pushups), “Power Flow” (including punches, curls, and kickbacks), “Power Sweat” (focusing on the inner thigh and backside), and “Cardio Curl” (combining abs work with cardio moves such as crunches and leg extensions). As DeVito says, no matter where you start out, “You're gonna change your fitness level, and that's gonna change your life.” Also featuring a bonus stretch mat segment, this is highly recommended.
