Here is something about Body Sculpting and Core Conditioning

What Is Body Sculpting and Core Conditioning?

Body sculpting (or core conditioning) is a non-aerobic, muscle-toning class, usually focused on core strength. Most sculpting classes use weight bars, exercise bands, or dumbbells, or a combination of these gadgets. You perform traditional weight-training moves in a class setting.

Define Yourself with Body Sculpting - the first workout with weights.

Body Sculpting is a strength training workout that combines flexibility and cardiovascular conditioning using just one set of 5-pound (each) dumbbells.
Body Sculpting  is designed to shape and tone the body without building muscular size or bulk. Body Sculpting is highly recommended to those enrolled in a weight loss program because it helps retain lean muscle tissue while boosting metabolism. Any fitness level can enroll.

If you are interested in taking a body sculpting class, consider the following:

• What body sculpting and core conditioning does for you: Gives you strength and muscle tone and lowers your risk of bone loss, but only if you lift heavy enough weights.
• The exhaustion factor: Depends on the instructor, the level of class you’re taking, and how much experience you have with strength training. Prepare to be sore if you’re a novice or if you usually do different exercises.
• The coordination factor: Low. Anyone can do this, although it may take a few sessions to learn proper form.
• Who digs body sculpting and core conditioning: Anyone who wants to firm up. Body sculpting and core strengthening are great if you want to learn the fundamentals before you venture into the gym on your own.
• Signs of a sharp instructor: Instructors should tell you to use moderately heavy weights so that you don’t do more than 15 reps per set. Watch out for instructors who do dozens of repetitions with light weights: You’re not going to build much strength or tone that way. The instructor should correct your form and remind you where you should feel the exercise. Watch for a warm-up and cooldown, too.
• Tips for first-timers: Prepare yourself for muscle soreness the day or two after your workout. If you want to focus on a particular part of your body, look for a specialty class like Express Abs or Lower-Body Sculpting. Just know that you’ll be strengthening (toning) these body parts, not melting fat off them.

These weight training exercises are easy-to-learn and put little impact on the joints -- unlike high impact cardio workouts. Participants also see results three times faster because weights are used to stress the muscles. Body Sculpting also helps to prevent osteoporosis.

Strong, toned muscles increase your metabolism and burn calories far more than cardio only workouts, walking or stair climbing. And although these activities are valuable for strengthening the heart and lungs, they are minimum contributors to weight control. With Body Sculpting, you receive a cardiovascular and fat-burning workout.
