Others have done a great job breaking down this program so I won't go over all that territory again.

Basically I just want to share how impressed I am with Accelerated Core Training.

I'm a pretty advanced exerciser. I've done Yoga for about 11 years, Pilates for several and have weight training experience since I was in my late 20's (I'm almost 48). I also finished a P90X rotation last year and work with many of Tony Horton's programs as well as Debbie Siebers and a variety of others.

I had gotten interested in Stability ball work because I'm currently studying to be an ACE Certified Personal Trainer. I thought that the ball is something that would be a very useful tool with future clients.

Well, not only do I still feel that way, but have just absolutely fallen in love with it for my own physical fitness.

I've done many other really great ball workouts by Suzanne Deason, Liz Gillies, Gin Miller a 10 minute Solutions program among others.

I have also been intrigued by the Core Secrets infomercials having had a copy of it that I've watched many times.

After reading many excellent and thoughtful reviews here in the VF review section as well as searching thru threads about Core Secrets I decided to order this "Accelerated Core Training" program as well as his longer "Full Body Workout".

This morning I did "A.C.T." and was thoroughly impressed by it. The program was exceptionally well designed and Gunnar does a great job leading the class. His explanations of each move were extremely clear and I like that he had a modifier there to help folks who may not be ready for the more advanced versions of the exercises.

I also like the way he does the exercises in a circuit format so that you are always rotation among different body parts. This makes it possible to give each exercise 100 percent without becoming overly fatigued in one area.

The workout flew by at 45 minutes and while it was challenging I felt strong and energized rather than depleted afterwards. Still, I definitely feel like I got a solid workout in.

So for those looking for a great full body workout, what I would consider a functional fitness workout, then I would highly recommend this!

Instructor Comments:
Gunnar is very easy to follow. He's enthusastic without being over the top. I'm looking forward to doing more workouts of his.
