Exercise Balls For Dummies has everything it takes to be on the best seller list. The chapter that focuses on stretching alone helped relieve years of chronic back pain. Great job to the author LaReine Chabut for writing and illustrating such a complete and comprehensive guide for everyone. A must read on everybody's list!

Includes care for and selection of your ball. Strength, flexibility, and balance related exercises clearly categorized, and well explained.

This is a great book with easy to follow directions for each exercise. This book also has photos that make following the written directions so much easier. EXACTLY what I was looking for!

I am a senior citizen and found this book to be very inspirational. It is a fun and easy way to exercise and I am enjoying myself very much besides getting the inspiration I need to improve my physical health and appearance.

Like all the "...For Dummies" books, Exercise Balls for Dummies is concise, easy to read and easy to follow. Chabut gets right to the point and demonstrates the use of the balls so that even a clutz like me can use them! Using excersie balls makes you feel more like a kid at play than a middle-aged person battling the bulge! Thanks for a great new way to stay fit.

BRAVO! Finally a book that is easy to follow and makes exercise fun. I can't wait to use my new ball and watch my body firm up.
Kudos to Ms. Chabut!

This book has easy to follow instructions and offers options for every fitness level. If you are looking for a way to work out every part of your body without leaving your home this book is for you.

I lost 14 pounds using only this book's exercises and methods to tone up and lose weight. I always hated working out but once I turned 40 I knew I had to do something. I never understood how the ball worked so I went through the book and got totally addicted. Within about 7 weeks I went from a size 10 to a 6. I love my ball and find I'm on it whenever I get a few spare minutes. Buy the book. It changed my life.

Baby boomers literally think they're going to die before they get old. It seems they keep redefining each stage of life as they pass through it with undimished exberance. But can they easily bend down and pick up their grandchild? With a chapter devoted to senior citizens this great book is packed with step by step photos, (we might not even need our reading glasses) to improve our core stability, enhance our balance and coordination and excercises to relieve arthritis pain. The user friendly format of the book is a quick read (boomers have short attention spans).....I have bought 10 copies for my boomer friends. We all love it and are in competition for who now is the most flexible. A MUST BUY BOOK.....excellent birthday or holiday gift!
