This book is excellent! It shows illustrated step by step instructions to complete each exercise. Great for rehab purposes or just toning up. There are about 190 pages of instruction. The instruction not only includes the swiss ball but also the swiss ball with dumbells and resistance band. This exercise book strengthens your mid-section (abs, truck area. Once again, this is an excellent book!!
