What Is Hardcore 360 Like? 

Blocks of work include 45 seconds each of unweighted athletic cardio drills, dumbbell-weighted strength, and core training on the 360 unit, each followed by 15 seconds recovery. These easy-to-follow, high-intensity drills hit you with cardio, cut and core from all 360 degrees!  

Who Are Hardcore 360 Best For? 

All levels of fitness are welcome in this fabulous total body strength and cardio workout. Options are demonstrated for both the strength and the cardio exercises so both rookie exercisers and workout warriors will be challenged and will feel empowered.  

Is Hardcore 360 a Good Workout?  

Training on the 360’s unstable surface recruits more muscle fibers throughout each exercise, improving balance and core stabilization. The 360 unit also challenges coordination and overall strength. 

  • Coordination: The unstable surface of the 360 unit itself demands the coordination of the entire body to stabilize. When an exercise is added atop the 360, the body must coordinate muscles more strongly to be able to perform that exercise. 
  • Cardiovascular Fitness: Above all, this Hardcore 360 is a nonstop heart-training session. Regular cardiovascular exercise has been shown to lower blood pressure, regulate blood sugar, and build the immune system. 
  • Strength Training. The Cut round in each block of Hardcore 360 helps build bone density, increasing muscle fiber development, which boosts metabolism even at rest. 
  • Core Training. The Core round in each block of Hardcore 360 develops coordination throughout the body and supports posture and balance, reducing stress on joints. The core muscles engage immediately when working on an unstable surface. Increased training time on the 360 unit will strengthen the core muscles, including the abdomen, pelvic floor, middle back, and lower back. 
  • Balance Training. Training on the unstable surface of the Step 360 unit engages more muscle fibers, recruiting “weak spots” in the body more heavily to begin correcting imbalances. 

How Difficult is Hardcore 360? 

6/10 Hardcore 360 has a natural ebb and flow as you progress through the cardio, strength, and core drills. What makes it manageable, exciting, and FUN for you is that each exercise is completely customizable with options for all levels of fitness. Rest periods are a part of each exercise, so you have plenty of recovery time.  

How Long Is Hardcore 360? 

Hardcore 360 consists of 30 minutes of rounds of cardio work, cut work, and core work to deliver intense fat-burning fun.
