I've flipped through lots of stability ball books and this one - as skinny as it is - has been hands down the best. I coordinate the fitness program at a university and train students to be fitness professionals, and I pass along this book to them as much as I can. I also teach some of the exercises in my classes. The exercises listed are effective and innovative, and grounded in proper body mechanics. More importantly, the book gives options to increase or decrease the level of difficulty (not only does everyone begin exercise at different levels but as people progress they'll need harder options). And, it covers just about every muscle group. While it's not an exhaustive list of stability ball exercises, I was quite surprised that this little book would have so much more than the others! It's definitely been a worthwhile investment for our program.

Tried every exercise in the book and just love it! The pictures are simple,yet detailed enough. Starts out with stretching and moves through the rest of the body from top to bottom. I would highly recommend this book for beginners and those wanting to firm up.

This is one of the best most effective exercise books that I have ever purchased. It steps you through each exercise and lets you know why and what muscles you are about to work. I have used this book to help friends to learn how to properly use a body ball. Wonderful book.

I am really happy with this book. The pictures and instructions are wonderful. I have gotten so many good ideas and helpful hints.

the pictures and excercise descriptions are excellent, and the excercises are divided into color-coded sections for working on different parts of the body. easy to use, accurate, and effective. top-notch

I have purchased several copies of this book for friends who have experienced back problems.
Great exercises to strengthen the core and lower back!

Another book that was a bit of a disappointment..more of a 'booklet'
has good info just would like more!

I love working with the body ball. Since getting therapy using the ball, the handbook has taken my workouts a few steps farther.

The person I bought this for really likes it. It is full of good pictures and useful info on how to get the most from one of these exercise balls. It's not big or expensive, but it does just what you want - shows you how to use the ball.

Product is as expected. It shows numerous types of exercises for various parts of the body -- especially "core" exercises. The book arrived earlier than promised and in great condition. For those using a body ball, this is a great instruction book for beginners to advanced exercisers.
