This is an incredibly in-depth, fascinating book all about training and strengthening your core muscles. It is aimed at women although the information and exercises are also suitable for men. It is written in a very tight and succinct style - it feels like every word is there for a reason and there is no waffle. I liked the fact that the author is clearly writing for both sportspeople and people like myself who have poor strength after having children several years ago.
The first half of the book is a detailed look at the importance of core muscles in all aspects of our life and why we need to make sure they are strong. It is really interesting and I learned so much that I didn’t know before.
The second half is the exercises. They are explained in words and accompanied by pictures so you get a really clear idea of what you have to do. The reasons for doing each type of exercise are outlined in detail so you understand not just how but why you are doing them. At the end of the book the exercises are all put together into a training plan of different levels depending on if you have a weak core or already have some strength there and want to build on it.
I was very impressed with the level of detail and explanation in this book. It really is the only book you will need if you are serious about increasing your core strength. Although it is tempting to go to the exercises first, I recommend reading the first part to find out why you need to do the exercises; I think it will make you more likely to continue with them once you start!
Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
