Trigger Point Performance Smart-Core Level 2-70 Minute Instructional Workout DVD



Very effective
I originally purchased the Grid system to help with stiffness as my running mileage increased.
However, the core work on these videos is fantastic and makes a noticable difference in my running
and swimming.

Great form of Exercise
I can't even begin to say how happy I am with the Smart Core Level 1 & 2 DVD's I have purchased. I have been looking for methods to strengthen my core while also maintaining flexibility and these DVD's and the Smart Core roller have satisfied my need.

good
Technically, you don't actually need their roller to do the exercises. I've substituted other rollers of similar diameter before and I really couldn't tell the difference. In fact, it's actually easier with a longer roller because the thing doesn't wander askew as much. The exercises are challenging and will definitely give you a core workout. The five and fifteen second rest periods are much shorter than five and fifteen seconds however..so prepare yourself.

The narration is good, demonstration is fine, music could be better but overall good.

3 types of workouts..quick 6 min 'blast' workout A and a workout B (both 16 min)

Trigger Point Performance Smart-Core Level 1-70 Minute Instructional Workout DVD



It should warn you that you need their special roller
The image is too small to see that you really need their particular brand of foam roller in order to find these exercises very useful. Half the emphasis of the exercises was on the massage of the bumps, which I don't have on my standard dark gray roller. And I don't want to spend over $30 to buy yet another roller just so I can use this DVD! Not to mention, the price was way too high for the amount of content, even if I did have the right kind of roller. There are a few exercises but I could probably have been just as satisfied by downloading free videos from Youtube. What I really wanted was a complete core workout and this really is not it. I wish I could return it!

This cut down on my chiropractor visits.
This apparatus helped my hamstrings much better than my chiropractor did. Overall I have cut way back on having to visit my chiropractor. Som of these stretches might not be suited to the elderly or for those who are not physically active

Great!!
Provides the foundation for the next levels in two short segments. Very good core work with
noticable improvements in less than 1 month.
