It's Yoga-Infused Pilates (It's supposed to be relaxing),
This review is from: Balance Ball For Weight Loss (DVD)
If you've ever taken yoga or pilates, or have any idea at all what these things might entail, you know that one could comfortably refer to these as the subtle excercise arts. It simply is not cardio. It isn't step. This is a toning workout, as pilates and yoga often are.
The narration on the video is very soothing, and thus may be listened to over and over again--very convenient as this is an excercise video. The narration contains no repetitive catch phrases, no yee-haws and aerobic woopings. Simple, calming, relaxing instruction, period. True to its pilates roots, this tape encourages the use and development of the core muscles to stabalize the body while working all the major muscle groups. Many of the moves are challenging for a first-timer, but this just means that the tape will continue to be beneficial over a long period of time. If you're looking for something Paula Abdul-ish, an early 90's step aerobics with lots of cardio, shouting, loud techno beats, garish outfits and fake tans, please don't buy this very relaxing yet physically challenging video.

Fabulous and Fun!!!,

This review is from: Balance Ball For Weight Loss (DVD)
This is a fun workout! The best part is you can choose several different short 10-15 min. routines and put them in any order through the menu interface! Wow, what a lovely way to do it. You choose the sequence. It's not choppy like some of the other DVD's I've tried with this function.
I love ball workouts. I'm not a big lover of pilates, but this one is great! Most of it is fairly easy, but you make it what you will like any exersize routines. Some of her bridge poses are a bit difficult, so it does have some challenges. Well worth the money if you're looking for a good balance ball routine. Check my other reviews on ball DVD's, yoga, mediation, etc.

Gentle but thorough,
By Kat "book lover" (Jacksonville, Fl United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Balance Ball For Weight Loss (DVD)
I really love this workout. I have fibromyalgia and since I've discovered the exercise ball, it has changed my workouts for the better. I like all the ball workouts from Gaiam that I've tried. This DVD is no exception. It provides clear, concise instructions. The exercises flow from one to the other. I've found that I feel invigorated and toned after finishing this workout although it is also gentle due to the nature of the exercise ball supporting the body in every aspect. It is more challenging than a basic workout and you can adjust the intensity of the exercises. One thing I've found very convenient about this particular DVD is that each exercise is its own chapter. Therefore if you want to skip an exercise you can just go to the next chapter instead of scanning through the current exercise. Also you can pick and choose which sections you want to do by choosing the "Custom" option on the main menu. There are three sections, the first concentrating on abs and upper body, the second on the lower body and various Pilates moves using the ball, and the last section a combination of allover body workout and stretching. There is also a "fundamentals" section at the beginning to show correct placement on the ball and the basics of positioning, etc. If you do the whole thing it takes about 45 minutes.
