3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed because of Incomplete Information, February 17, 2006

This review is from: The PowerBand Workout (Includes Free DVD) (Paperback)

I bought this book looking for a workout that offered good resistance training requiring little equipment, since I live in an extremely small space. Although the workout appears to be an excellent one, the book misleadingly states on the cover "All You Need Is the Body and the Band;" however, the workout described in the book also requires a Swiss exercise ball. Ironically, I had chosen this title over the other in the series requiring the ball precisely because I do not own a ball, cannot afford to buy one at this time, do not have the space to store one, and do not have the time to inflate and deflate one each morning before heading off to grad school.

If you're looking for a good workout, and have BOTH a band AND a ball, then I would recommend you try this. As for me, however, I may simply have to return this item to Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars not a granny workout., February 23, 2006

If you're looking for a kick butt exercise routine with little or no equiment, then here you go! Great and innovative exercises that will make you sweat and tone. I've seen band routines before and they seems boring, for rehab or the elderly. The exercise program on the free cd is killer. A full body workout that targets every part of the body. I love it. Since I have but 30 minutes a day to train this is perfect. Even better I take the band with me, it weights 2oz, and I can workout anywhere. Well written, simple to understand for beginners. A few of the exercises are shown being done on an exercise ball. But just as easily done without. Good book, great workout!
