Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Gaiam Abs Ball Kit is a great tool to strengthen your core and sculpt your abs. This unique two-handled ball is easy to grip, and the weight (8 pounds) is the recommended resistance for optimal torso-reshaping results. The 35-minute guided-workout DVD, which is included in the kit, features seven-time Iron Man triathlete Jonathan Roche who will guide you through two 12-minute workouts (beginner and advanced) and teach you moves such as the "3-Layered Crunch" and "Russian Twist" to effectively chisel your torso.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Workout, December 20, 2005

This DVD is a great workout. I've only done the beginner workout and it sure has worked and toned my abs. I highly recommend it. I tried the Ab lounger and that did not get to my abs. I felt nothing. I tried other equipment and the best was the Abs Ball. It weighs only 8lbs and seems so light but it does the job. It's worth it and I recommend it.

I use this several times a week, and the advanced exercises are super hard! Variations of the basir routine are enough to keep the abdominals tight. I have a six-pack at 50!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good tool for toning abs, March 8, 2006

When I first receive the item from Amazon, the DVD actually did not work, but after I contacted Gaiam, they sent me a replacement for no charge. So I give them a star for good service.

Other than that, the workout is quick and simple, I haven't worked out in quite a while and within the 2 weeks that I started doing this workout, I'm noticing results already! It's not 6-pac overnight... but it's better than doing simple crunches.

Also, since the workout is short, I've no reason to not do it in the morning!

Give it a try if you're a lazy person like me who's always looking for excuses not to exercise!
