![Jill Miller: Strong Core & Beautiful You [DVD] [2012] [US Import]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Wght5pwCL.jpg)
If you want a perfectly flat stomach and toned abs you need to do more than a few sit-ups; you need to condition your core muscles and strengthen your entire body. Sometimes it can be easy to forget that every single part of our body is tied together; if we want to strengthen one part of it we need to strengthen it all. It may seem logical to do lots of crunches to build up the abs, but in doing so you can do damage to your back, put pressure on your spine and weaken your pelvic floor. Coregeous shows you how you can work your abdominal muscles properly in order to strengthen your whole core, improve your posture and enjoy better fitness. Yoga Tune Up harnesses the purifying effects of yoga to allow your body and mind to work in harmony in order to become stronger and healthier. Jill Miller, creator and instructor of Yoga Tune Up has over 20 years of experience in the movement arts. She has used her knowledge of the human body to develop a yoga technique that incorporates massage and pain relief techniques to allow people to enjoy a greater degree of fitness, health, comfort and wellbeing. Coregeous is a perfect programme for people who have abdominal weakness as a result of underuse, over-training, injury or surgery. It has 7 key routines that work the entire torso, not only strengthening the muscles but also improving mobility and stability in the spine and connecting tissues. This DVD features routines which use the Yoga Tune Up Therapy Balls and the Coregeous Ball, so we highly recommend that you invest in both in order to get the most out of your workout. We’re proud to be an official UK and European distributor of Jill Miller’s Yoga Tune Up range. If you live in America and are interested in the range we recommend you place an order directly with Yoga Tune Up.

Unique and very effective
I use the YogaTune Up Balls with the quick fix DVDs and pain and aches have diminished considerably (nearly vanished after 3 weeks of daily use). I have now incorporated this DVD and I really like it. It is not the usual abs DVD, it is unique. There are 4 workouts that require some props + 3 bonuses.1) CORE-REFORM (14.20)This requires the use of YTU balls and a mat. The exercises help massaging the main areas that need to be ready for the core work in the subsequent workouts. The explanations are very clear and Jill shows how the balls have to be placed by showing the exercise through a glass. This workout can be used as a warm up for the other ones. This is very relaxing and your upper/lower back will thank you!2) CORE-GANIZED (17.50)It requires the use of a block (or a thick book).The exercises are basically all on the floor and you will have to balance on the brick. The main one revolve around the concept of the magician assistant. They are very effective and tough. It looks like it is only 20 minutes but it does work!It is better if you familiarise with the tubular core section (bonus) before embarking in this section.3) IN-COREPORATE (19.50)You would require a soft ball (a pilates one is great).You need to warm up before this and do not attempt the exercises after having eaten (you will feel sick!). The exercises are all on the floor and revolve around massaging the abdominals in depth with the use of the small squishy ball. Advisable to familiarise yourself with the abdominal massage bonus section.4) COREGEOUS (19.00)This is an advanced workout that requires lots of balance and strength in the core area (better to attempt this when you are comfortable with the previous workouts). You need a stability ball. This is based on planks and walking planks. Totally innovative exercises on how to maximise the use of a stability ball.BONUS-- tubular core activation (5.15)- abdominal massage with small squishy ball (8.20)- Nauli - this is a very advance abdominal/core exercise that requires the ability to control the breath and muscles. It requires a lot of practice!Overall I really like this DVD. Jill Miller's style is great, very down to earth, she explains what to do in detail and the reason for certain exercises. Very innovative approach, I have not heard any idiotic comment like get ripped or shred. Looks like a very slow relaxing workout, but it is not! I am going to look into the YTU at home program next.

Reach your beauty potential without bleeding or ripping anything on your way
Jill Miller is the ideal person to help with my body goals. I've never been into exercise, but decided to try this work out after seeing a friend transformed by this practice, and wow, it was the best move (haha!) that I'd done in ages! The thing about these exercises is that they work out muscles you don't normally work out, and with the balls it feels like you're getting a full body massage so when you're doing it's like you've worked out but you also just stepped out in a spa. Win-win. :)
