This review is from: Fat to Firm Fitness Ball Workout for Dummies (DVD)

This is the first 'for dummies' workout that I have bought and I really like it. It's a good dvd if you haven't done a ball workout before. You focus on stability and balance and building up your core strength. But because you use weights too, you also get good toning for the whole body. They use your regular overhead presses and ab work too. She gives you optional moves if you want to make it harder or easier and tells you what not to do wrong.
Don't be fooled by thinking you can't get a good workout from a stability ball. You will totally feel this the next day and you will be surprised with exactly how many muscles you in fact worked. I really like this a lot.

This review is from: Fat to Firm Fitness Ball Workout for Dummies (DVD)

I'm in my early 30's, go to the gym 4 times a week and am in pretty good shape. At the gym I do the elliptical as well as some of the fitness (weight) equipment. I decided it would be nice to to add some variation to my routine as well as have a workout I could do from home.

I researched for a while and decided on the ball and the video ball workout for Dummies. The result? I'm VERY happy. At first I didn't think it was going to be worth the money or time- I'm used to working up quite a sweat at the gym and thought this workout might be "too easy" for me. Well... not so. It hurt to walk for 3 days after I did the video the first time. This tells me I was working SOMETHING that I usually didn't. It's true, it targets muscles that aren't typically "worked out" on traditional exercises or machines.

All in all, I really like this video. The instructor is a bit annoying but I've come across worse. It goes slowly (which is the point to get an efficient workout) and really explains how to position yourself correctly (which I find to be a downfall of a lot of the others). I'd say go for it!

This review is from: Fat to Firm Fitness Ball Workout for Dummies (DVD)

Out of all the tapes this one gave me the most results in actually elongating my body.. liz explains how to use proper postures to avoid neck pain.. I originally tried tapes off of those listed suggestions. The other tapes I tried were ok but found I really listened with Liz's tips on form. This made all the difference and is the best for understanding ball!! thanks
