CORE GALORE® is a Pilates based body conditioning system geared at challenging participants' overall proprioceptive reflexes, flexibility and core stability, from the moderately fit, up to the elite athlete.
The method is continuously refined and incorporates the principles of the Pilates method.
Pilates inpsired, fun infused and result oriented, CORE GALORE® has progressions and regressions for all levels of fitness. And moving with these boards in all directions is exhilarating, challenging and rewarding.
Milestones in Developing Core Galore®
* In 1993, after spending 10 minutes "wiping" down the belts on the treadmills at my gym, I felt as if I had done a full upper extremities and trunk workout! (The pictures below illustrate that "wiping down" move). I was reminded of an exercise I had been shown 10 years earlier; roll a 20+ lbs loaded Olympic barbell back and forth on the floor for an incredible "abs and lats" workout.
This was the "Aha" moment for me, that planted the seed for what is now CORE GALORE®, and for the boards, which are integral to the method.
* In 1994, I had my first "core board" built. I started "playing"on it and couldn't believe the variety of movements I was discovering every day. I remember thinking what a "balancing act" it was and how limitless the number of movements seem to be! A few months later, I was introducing my first exercises to my private clients, and within 4 years, I was teaching classes on the two dozen more boards I had made, refining the Core Galore® system as well as the boards' design along the way.
* In the spring of 2000, I published my first CORE GALORE® manual, then named MBAM.
* In the summer of 2008, I released a more comprehensive CORE GALORE® manual which is intended to be a platform from which teachers and participants can modify all movement, be creative and make up their own moves.
* In November of 2008, I redesigned the boards, reducing them from 12" by 18" to 12" by 12", allowing for better maneuverability and increasing the creativity potential of this work, as well as portability.

* In January of 2009, CORE GALORE® becomes an American Council on Exercise accredited course for .3CECs. A year later, in January of 2010, CORE GALORE® level II is also accredited for .2 CECs.
* In March of 2010: I publish the CORE GALORE® first instructional DVD - two workouts: a beginner and an intermediate.
* Since early 2009: a heightened awareness of our facial tissue surrounding and intertwined throughout our bodies has led to movement explorations; namely looking even further into animals and their ways of moving and staying still. Moving from the fascia, with its optimal health in mind. As Thomas Myers, (Anatomy Trains) contends, “You don’t have 600-some-odd muscles, as we’ve always been taught: You have a single muscle with 600-odd stopping points, all linked by the fascial web.”
