Core Secrets

[keaLoha]

So I finally caved & ordered this last week & it finally arrived Thursday. I'm trying to get back into shape & w/my bad back, this'll be a good form of therapy & fitness.

I'll post my first impression later, but I'll also post a follow-up in the next week or two.

If anyone else has this, please feel free to chime in.

Is it like Pilates? They do a lot of core exercises... well, if it is like that, it will help your back a lot - because the area that they concentrate on is the stomach/back - and when you have good stomach muscles, it helps take pressure off your back.

Mostly strengthening w/a stability ball. My physical therapists recommended some exercises using one & also urged pilates & yoga along w/some aqua aerobics. This stupid thing has been plaguing me for 9 1/2 years thanks to a quack of a doctor.
