Good BEGINNER workout Very relaxing and good for extreme beginners or someone who doesn't want a lot of impact. I enjoy this workout but get bored with it on some days.
You will easily outgrow this I can't fault the instruction or the production quality. My grandmother will appreciate this and give it a 5 star rating

Appropriate only for extreme beginners This DVD is appropriate only for people who are at the very beginning of an exercise program. For anyone with even a moderate level of exercise, most of the exercises require very little effort. A few of the stretching and relaxation moves were nice, but most would be just as effective without the ball. For those who practice yoga, trying to fit the ball into some moves such as "downward facing dog" was just plain annoying. I would recommend a DVD with a higher level of difficulty that could be achieved after some practice with the ball.
Should be called Balance Ball for Seniors There are a few good exercises on this tape, but overall it's just sitting on a ball for a half hour. Many of the exercises do not need the ball and in fact it just gets in the way. This makes me feel like they just tried to jump on the balance ball bandwagon by showing the same old moves on a ball instead of a chair. There was nothing here that made me feel like the balance ball was necessary or that this was a unique kind of workout. I felt downright silly during some of the moves, like one where you sit on the ball and bounce while swinging your arms at your side. When this tape is over, you will still be wondering when the workout is going to start.
Good for Grandma I was very disappointed with this video - it did absolutely nothing for me. When it says "Beginners workout" they're not kidding! I think this so called "workout" might be challenging for someone in their 60's who has basically never done very much of any kind of exercise their whole life. It was a waste of money if you ask me. I like the balance ball exercise idea, but I honestly got more of a workout from the 20 min. sample DVD that came with the ball than I did from this nearly 60 min. beginners workout dvd.
