5.0 out of 5 stars This book is Great!, May 12, 2006
By Gerald (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
I own an extreme balance board and a balance cushion and wasn't sure what to do with them. I found this book online and didn't know what to expect when I ordered it.
This book is amazing; it has over 70 different exercises with simple instructions and photos. I highly recommend this book for anyone that wants a challenge in their workout.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Great Balance and Stability Handbook, January 18, 2007
This is a handy, slim and compact soft-bound publication, packed with information on training exercises using different core muscle strengthening tools. So far I have not found any other publication giving such detailed and helpful information about the use of the Bosu ball. This has been really helpful!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very clear, well organized, valuable book., September 28, 2007
I highly recommend this book. The different types of exercises are clearly color coded and written to focus on different parts of the body; the writing is very accessible; it's extremely user friendly. Great, down-to-earth slim manual of instruction.
