Product Description

There's no doubt that that adding an exercise ball to your routine will perk it up, but--depending on your sense of balance--it may also land you on the floor. Instructor Keli Roberts and her two able assistants make no such descents, but beginners are bound to wobble, which Roberts acknowledges with reassuring frequency. The three 10-minute workouts can be done individually or combined since they focus on different areas. Round 1 concentrates on the lower body with squats while holding the ball, balancing on it for a variation of the yoga bridge and squeezing it with the upper thighs. Workout 2 tones the arms and back by lifting dumbbells while sitting or leaning on the ball and using it for pushups. The final routine is specifically for the abs: sit-ups, curls, yoga's plank and downward dog, and Pilates scissors--all atop the ball. Weights are recommended for the second routine. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Reviewed on 2008-07-13 Challenging, great instructor! I recently bought my first stability ball and wanted to learn more ways to use it. This DVD was perfect for that. The exercises are challenging and diverse. The instructor is wonderful and very clear, explaining the moves very well and even anticipating some of the things you may be doing wrong. It's not a boring workout, and certainly a nice change of pace from crunches!

Reviewed on 2008-04-14 As good as other people have said Bought this workout based on other's reviews. They hit the nail right on the head. If you are looking for a great first time exercise ball video. Here you go.

Reviewed on 2008-04-05 Good workout This is a nicely rounded workout (no pun intended). It covers 3 areas of conditioning and gives alternative exercises for those who need more support or less strain.

Reviewed on 2008-03-31 Very easy, almost too easy. I was hoping the workouts would be a little more intense since they are broken up into 10 minute segments. It was really easy and didn't seem to challenge my muscles, perhaps if I do the whole routine 2 or three times it will be better.

Reviewed on 2008-03-12 Quick fix Three ten-minute workouts targeting the upper and lower body plus the abs using the stability ball and weights. There are modifications for beginner and intermediate-advanced. Abs segment has the most challenging exercises. Although, I like Keli Roberts, she was hard to follow because she started moving without giving cues-they just went straight to the exercises and I felt left behind. To solve that, one should review the program beforehand and/or work at your own pace, or do it regularly to familiarize. This has been a regular on my rotation using the stability ball, but now, I prefer TLT Finding Your Core.
