Amazing workout,

This review is from: Swiss Ball Upper Body (DVD)
Once again, Adam Ford amazes me with his skills and knowledge with the swiss ball. If you purchased any of his other workout DVDs, you will not be disappointed with this volume. Once again, he breaks the workout in three levels. Trust me, start with the easiest level and work your way up to the hardest. His exercises are extremely difficult to do, but the payoff is amazing. You will gain functional strength and stabilty control like you wouldn't believe. I've been workout for years, using different modality, (e.g. bands, free weights, calisthetics, cable machines, medicine balls, BOSU, stability balls) and I thought I could manage the hardest level...NOT!!! I tried one of the harder exercises and almost fell on my face. Take my word for it, this will make a great addition to anyone's workout library and for anyone who might be bored with their current workouts and want to change things up alittle.

Super Challenging Workout,
By
This review is from: Swiss Ball Upper Body (DVD)
I have been using other advanced balance ball workouts for a few years now, but was humbled during Phase I, the least difficult routine. I am now able to complete all the exercises and improve a little each time I do the workout. Phase I will continue to challenge me just by adjusting my position on or near the ball. I don't see how anyone could outgrow this DVD. Adam is just amazing in Phase 2 and 3. As with his other DVDs, I love that Adam provides form pointers but doesn't chatter endlessly throughout the routine. I also appreciate that he doesn't count every rep.

This review is from: Swiss Ball Upper Body (DVD)
I am very happy with Adam Ford's Swiss Ball Upper Body DVD. I bought it along with his Basics DVD and I'm glad I did, because using them together gives me about an hour's long workout, whereas this one would just give me 10 minutes and the Basics just 30 minutes.
The Upper Body DVD has 3 10 minute workouts of increasing difficulty. I will admit that although I have had the DVD for a few months now, I still have not so much as peeked at Phases 2 and 3. I've started at the bottom in terms of arm strength and am slowly but surely working my way up. I do mean 'surely' though--I have visibly more tone and noticeably more strength in my arms. I'm waiting until I'm comfortable with Phase 1 before I go on to the more advanced phases, otherwise I might get too discouraged! :-) The quality of the DVD is great. Ford starts with some basic warm up and then goes straight into it. The instruction is by voice-over which means that while he is actually doing the exercises, he isn't distracted by talking and can demonstrate exactly the proper form. He also does not give any annoying motivational talk, and everything he says is valuable, for the purpose of explaining the exercise, and nothing more. The camera work is also good, showing everything from different angles. What I like most about this DVD is the pace. Sometimes when things are very difficult, instructors will go too slowly, or start talking about 'what a great job you're doing,' and in that case it gives me time to think about how much it hurts or how hard it is, and that discourages me. Here, Ford does a few reps of one exercise before immediately moving on to the next. There's no time to dwell on things, and so it keeps the motivation up, along with the heart rate. Hopefully I'll be moving on to Phase 2 soon. I'm aiming for no shaking while doing a ball push-up, and then I can advance! Wish me luck :-)
