Continued from Exhale Core Fusion. The most important move in the Core Fusion workout is called “the curl”:

Starting position: Sit on the floor with your knees bent, your feet flat and hips-width apart, hands holding your outer thighs, elbows up, shoulders down, chin open.

Roll back into a C-curve until your waist touches the floor and your shoulder class is an abdominal exercise blades are off the floor.

Pull your abdominal muscles in and tuck your tailbone up. Then let go of your legs and hold for 30 seconds.

Slowly go back to the starting position and do it again. Do as many reps as you can.

How the Core Fusion workout works Core Fusion helps people increase their ability to meditate and surrender, to close your eyes and let go so that you trust your therapist to move you around. Since it combines so many aspects of stretching and meditation, it has very similar effects as yoga and Pilates. Here’s why:

It supposedly increases your chi, your life force, because you release these blockages, energy flows, and you become more alert, more energized and more balanced.

It helps increase flexibility because the assisted stretching is a trainer’s body weight against yours. They can take you deeper into these poses than you can ever go on your own.

If you do it on a regular basis it is going to help you with range of motion in your joints.
