I am 25 and I use this dvd as a simple easy just relaxing/stretching workout. I have done Insanity and other exercise dvds and this is very simple and easy not challenging at all for someone who is in shape. I think it is good for stretching your back and stuff like that....

Bender Ball Pilates is a 40 minute exercise DVD. This is a beginner Level pilates exercise with some advanced options.

This is my second Bender Ball DVD, so I am very pleased with its level and clear explanations. I am doing this exercises after serious back surgery and 4 months of physical therapy. This DVD, along with Bender Ball strong back, really helped me to add variety to my exercise routine.

The exercises are not so advanced that I could not do them and get discourage, yet leave me plenty of room to improve. This DVD does challenge me leaving me frustrated that I am not able to follow the exercises. I found that I really like using the ball. It provides extra stretch that I would not be able to achieve without it. And in some exercises provides support that lets you do the exercise in a correct manner.

After the 40 minute work out my back feels nicely stretched, I can balance better and feel more nimble. I recommend this DVD to beginner level exercisers and especially people after back surgery like myself.

I love pilates, but my only real experience with it was the original Winsor Pilates Accelerated Body Sculpt. So when I heard about (and finally tried) the Bender ball I was amazed. The Bender ball can work your abs as well as, or better than (depending on how you use it), the Ab Lounge. However, the look and feel of this Bender Method Pilates DVD left me wishing I would have never wasted my money. The music is awful, the direction is awful, and the workout is pointless. If you're looking for something that will actually challenge you, then this is not the DVD for you.
