Wonder Core II Review

CLICK HERE FOR THE WONDER CORE ll

IMPORTANT: You do need to have a good measure of health to use the Wonder Core II. You should consult a doctor before you embark on using this equipment. You also do need to take the demonstrated exercises in the supplied DVD slowly at first if you are a beginner until you achieve a more advanced level of fitness.

MUST DOS:

1. Warm up exercises before use, as shown in the DVD. Includes: knees to hands, jump rope, skaters, quick jab.
2. Cooling down exercises after use, as shown in the DVD. Includes: inhale/exhale, hand to heel stretch, one leg stretch.
3. Have water to drink on hand.

OK having just bought the Wonder Core II exerciser for the strengthening of inner core muscles, here are my thoughts:

• Fully allows you to engage your abs but without stress on your neck and back. For both men and women, large and small, young and old.
• Anyone with back problems would need to take the exercises slowly and always seek medical advice if in doubt about the equipment’s use. Having back problems should not be a hindrance if the exercises are followed sensibly and correctly as shown in the DVD.
• The compact design of the exerciser doesn’t take up much space, say that of a chair. It is sturdily made with easy to follow instructions on how to assemble it.
• As noted above, it comes with a DVD clearly demonstrating the complete workout regime that you need to go through.

As far as the exercises go, they were quite easy to follow and surprisingly not as arduous as might at first be imagined. The must-do warm up and cooling down exercises were easy to do.
Here is the actually exercise programme on the Wonder Core II.

EXERCISES INCLUDE:

• FULL RANGE CRUNCH – A full sit-up. Not hard to do if you are more advanced in your fitness level. Beginners should take it more easy with lesser backward and forward movement on the sit-ups until they have built up more core strength.
• HALF CRUNCH PULSE – Not as hard to do for beginners due to lesser backward and forward movement on the sit-ups than the Full Range Crunch. But is still an excellent workout for more advanced fitness level users.
• SPEED CRUNCH – You would need to go a slower pace with the backward and forward sit-ups movement than is shown in the DVD demonstration if you are just starting out on a fitness program regime. Advanced fitness level users would be fine.

At this point you come off the Wonder Core II for Floor Standing Exercises. You must remember to drink plenty of water when required

FLOOR STANDING EXERCISES INCLUDE:

• HIGH KNEES RUN.
• SPEED SQUATS (you can go at your own speed).
• RUNNING MAN/WOMAN (there’s a beginner’s pace and more advanced pace).

Now back onto the Wonder Core II and to using its attached handles.

HANDLE EXERCISES INCLUDE:

• DOUBLE ARM ROWS – Tones back. Pulling back and forth on the pulley cord handles. Easy to do for all fitness levels.
• LEAN BACK SHOULDERS – Tones shoulders. Pulling back and forth on the pulley cord handles from a laid back position you pull back handles back to shoulder level. This targets shoulders in a really effective way. Easy to do for all fitness levels.
• BICEPS CURLS – Tones biceps. In a sitting position and using the pulley cord handles again, arms are brought up to shoulders. This makes biceps really work hard. Easy to do for all fitness levels.

At this point you adjust the bar on the Wonder Core II to a lower position for increased resistance on the arms with the pulley cord handles.

FURTHER HANDLE EXERCISES INCLUDE:

• UPRIGHT ROWS – Works shoulders and trapezius muscle. Easy for those with more advanced fitness levels. Beginners will need to practice.
• REAR DELTOID FLY – Really works hard the back of the deltoid muscle to give a nice, lean cut at the back of the shoulders. Easy for those with more advanced fitness levels. Beginners will need to practice.
• ONE ARM CURLS – Can be done holding one handle at a time or both handles at a time in one hand to give more resistance on the triceps. Easy to do for all fitness levels.
• FRONT DELTOID RAISE – For working the shoulders at the front. Easy for those with more advanced fitness levels. Beginners will need to practice.
• ONE ARM DELTOID RAISE – Alternating arm raise for working the shoulders. Again easy for those with more advanced fitness levels. Beginners will need to practice. 

At this point you come off the Wonder Core II and spin its seat around in the opposite direction for lower abs workout.

• LOWER AB PUSHDOWNS – Holding onto the Wonder Core II back padded handles with arms behind the back and legs over the front padded rollers the lower abs are worked with a downward then upward movement of the legs, hitting the core hard. Easy for beginners to do. More advanced fitness level users will go faster with this exercise.

At this point you move the Wonder Core II padded rollers into the downward position with the supplied pin for obliques exercises.

• OBLIQUE TWISTS – Holding the Wonder Core II back padded handles with arms behind the back the legs are moved alternatingly over the Wonder Core II from side to side with feet touching floor. An advanced movement that will require practice for beginners. Easy for those with more advanced fitness levels.
• OBLIQUE AB-TUCK TWISTS – A similar exercise to oblique twists but with the variation of tucking the legs into the chest before moving them over the Wonder Core II and touching the floor with the feet. More advanced fitness level users will not touch the floor with the feet.
• TRICEP EXTENSION – With a reverse grip on the Wonder Core II pulley cord handles from behind the back, arms are extended up and down. Would say that beginners will require quite a bit of practice on this one. Easy for those with more advanced fitness levels.

You will then go to the cooldown exercises as outlined above. NOW YOU’RE ALL DONE!

IN CONCLUSION THEN: Overall the outcome of my first encounter with the Wonder Core II was a distinct feeling of the strengthening of my core muscles, which is exactly what this piece of equipment is intended to do. And so in that respect it is well able, from my experience of using it, to give you the desired results you are after for gaining strengthened inner core muscles.
Of course, it would then only be the keeping on up of using the equipment that would obviously be the key to achieving the end desired body changing results that you want. And I believe the Wonder Core II, with this regular use, will eventually do that. Your core muscles will be strengthened and toned, your body sleek and beautiful.

Overall I would say the Wonder Core II is a well-constructed piece of exercise equipment that will serve you well for a long time in your quest for inner core muscle strength fitness.
