I love using this book. It is very easy to read and follow directions. The book offers both beginning and advanced exercises that are very fun to perform. This book is a valuable tool in the clinical setting due to the ease of making a home exercise program. I recommend it to anyone wanting to use swiss balls for alternative exercises.
