What is the Terra-Core? 

It's a Stepper. It's a Bench. It's the best surface ever devised for crunches; and your pushups will never be the same. It's an air-filled, core building, multifaceted balance machine. It's the most versatile piece of home exercise equipment ever developed. It is THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME. We have a hard time leaving the status quo alone around here, particularly when it doesn't make sense. Let’s face it, there is an optimal shape for everything, tires work best when they're round, tables when they are flat, and things that go against your body work best — when they are shaped as such. Balls were meant for kicking, bouncing, and telling your boss to get bent, not for exercising. The surface area is small and it want to roll away (they’re balls, that’s what they do). Not to mention, have you ever tried to stand on — or do a crunch on a half ball? Certainly, they do not roll, however, they still lack space, versatility, and dare we say "imagination". The Terra-Core offers it all: Ergonomics, Versatility, Shape, Bandability, Durability and enough real estate to warrant its own zip code.    

Why do I need a Terra-Core?

The Terra-Core is a culmination of everything we know about training and strengthening the human machine. Moving from a hard surface to a soft dynamic surface, when working out yields more efficiency and more benefits, while performing the same movements. Exercises performed on a hard surface are two-dimensional by nature. The Terra-Core engages core stabilizer muscles, adding a third dimension to every movement. We have performed independent studies demonstrating 4 times as many muscles being engaged on the Terra-Cores dynamic surface than the same exercise does on a hard, flat two-dimensional surface. 

The Mind-Body Connection.

There is far more to fitness than shredded abs and big guns. We work out to stay young and feel great, and that starts by connecting the mind and the body together. That is the foundation of "Functional Fitness" and it is what the Terra-Core is all about! Every movement engages the body's natural stabilizers which gets your brain firing on multiple planes. While you are working on your midsection your brain is working overtime, firing countless new synapses with every movement. All this activity keeps you agile, more athletic, and this newfound coordination will make everyday activities easier while keeping your energy levels at their peak. 

It Takes a Village.

Let's face it, changing old habits is hard. However, when you buy a Terra-Core, you are getting far more than some plastic filled with air! Terra-Core is far more than a company that makes insanely cool ways to achieve your goals, it is a lifestyle company, that consists of thousands of people, (our Tribe) who are there to teach and encourage you to start looking and feeling great. At the risk of sounding a bit 'cliche', fitness is a journey and we will offer you help and support the entire way and soon you will be helping others achieve the same.  

Let's Review. 

Well, you made it to the part where we commend you for your desire to learn about better ways to do things. The Terra-Core truly does represent a huge advancement in the world of fitness. However, the cool thing is, you don’t have to sit there and talk about it or try and convince people, this is one of those rare times when you simply have to try it. Twenty seconds into your first exercise and you will instantly know you have found the truth. One day after your first workout and you will know instantly you found a hidden reserve of lactic acid. It really is a new way to workout that involves every physical capability that human beings possess.

Here is a quick review of the upside to using the Terra-Core in your workout. Terra-Core's patented Dynamic Surface provides an inherently unstable, yet extremely safe interface between body and equipment. This instability forces you to engage core muscles with every movement.  The Terra-Core weighs an incredible 28 pounds, yet can support over 5,000 lbs. Its proprietary anti-burst technology is the most effective ever developed. For the record, a physioball weighs about 15 ounces, is very squirrelly, and loves to burst, leaving you with a dumbbell in the forehead and a few gaps in your grill. Performing the same exercises as you normally would on a Terra-Core increases balance, core strength, neural synapse, and agility. 

Using the Terra-Core forces you to slow down your movements, which accentuates the eccentric part of the movement, this is the most effective way to gain strength and reach muscle fatigue.  It is the soul mate of resistance bands, which allows you more control and improves form, also a vital element in realizing gains. The Terra-Core molds and forms to every individual's unique body shape, providing the best support ever offered in the fitness category. The exceptional ergonomics dramatically reduce the chance of skeletal injury caused by excessive pressure. With the Terra-Core you are literally ‘floating on air’ thus, there are no pressure points, only smooth and fluid motions, so you build muscle, not scar tissue. The Terra-Core is made from the very highest quality commercial grade raw materials available.
