I get a good work-out from this video, even though it is fairly lack-luster. Very unintimidating. Working out with the ball really does spice up your exercise if you find yourself getting bored!

This workout DVD has a warm-up and cool-down segment along with a great range of exercises using the stability ball. It is possible for a beginner to benefit from using this routine as well as someone who is already in great shape. The exercises on this DVD will strengthen your back muscles and lessen the chance of hurting yourself when working at home or a job.

This workout is fun and easy to do. But, if you haven’t worked out on a stability ball and you do the entire workout, you will be sore in your core the next day! I have knee problems and I had to fast forward through a few exercises but overall very good.

I am a very experienced exerciser with 90 percent (or more) of my workouts being done at home w/ DVD’s and the like.
I am a “graduate” of Tony Horton’s P90X workout (which is amazing, a 90 day high intensity program from Beachbody) and in my Post P90X workouts I’ve been utilizing a mix of disciplines using a large amount of Beachbody workouts by both Tony Horton and Debbie Siebers alternating those with Yoga and Pilates programs.
I am new comparatively to working out with the stability ball but have really enjoyed what it brings into my exercise rotation. I had one of Liz Gillie’s Pilates DVD’s (Target Tone) and really liked her a lot. She didn’t dissapoint me at all with this ball workout.
She has a great variety of exercises that workout your whole body and does a great job explaining each exercise. The Dummie’s programs in general are very good (I like the Pilates workout for Dummies with Michelle Dozois quite a bit as well). There are many tips that are given throughout and modifications to make the exericises either less or more challenging.
My only minor complaint is that there were times I felt that things were a bit rushed especially in terms of the tempo for the dumbell. I find there’s a lot more benefit to a bit of a slower cadence, especially on the negative portion of the reps.
Still, it one can just go slower and do less reps if they want, or just pause the program if they want to do as many reps at a slower pace.
So, overall an excellent program that I’d highly recommend!

I workout 5 to 6 days a week and am in pretty good shape. I have acclamated this workout into my schedule because it is both fun and effective. It seems easy but when you really manage to master the moves correctly you can certainly feel that it’s working. I actually noticed a difference in my waist within the first week or two! The workout itself is actually really fun and I love how I feel after doing the workout. My limbs feel like spaghetti and the next day I can certainly tell my muscles have been worked both hard and properly. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who is interested in geting started with the stability ball. I’m buying a copy right now for my sister!

This is a must have for part of any workout routine. The DVD starts off with bascis such as choosing the right ball size, proper form etc. The workout consists of 15 workouts that challenge every muscle in your body especially your core. It’s best to watch it first before doing it so that you can become familiar with the routine but the workouts are very easy to follow and the instructor (Liz) gives clear, detailed instructions. Liz takes you through 2 sets of each exercise so you will definitely feel the burn but most important is to make sure that you select the right ball size and that it is inflated properly because at first mine would sink in a bit when I sat on it but I looked at the instructor’s ball and noticed how hers looked when she sat on it. One should never worry about bursting the ball when they sit on it because it can withstand over 300 lbs. (but once again inflate it properly) A set of hand weights are needed for a portion of the workout (for arm & chest exercises) along with a yoga mat to place your ball on. Do give this DVD a try though because it is worth it!
