crrection, its great i'm deleting my first review, because i was totally wrong, i tried it again and i felt invigorating yet relax just what i was looking for, so buy it and add this to all the dvd's of this great yoga and pilates teacher. Conditioning for Weight Loss: Safe, Natural Methods to Help Achieve and Maintain Your Ideal WeightBalance Ball for Beginners (2006)
not a good workout It's an old lady sitting and talking. You could do this twice a day and never get results.
Balance Ball for Weight Loss I love this CD. I like Susan's style of teaching, the music is relaxing and the exercises are not hard to master. It's a combination of Yoga and Pilates moves. I'm looking forward to getting more of her exercise ball DVD's.
Gentle but thorough I really love this workout. I have fibromyalgia and since I've discovered the exercise ball, it has changed my workouts for the better. I like all the ball workouts from Gaiam that I've tried. This DVD is no exception. It provides clear, concise instructions. The exercises flow from one to the other. I've found that I feel invigorated and toned after finishing this workout although it is also gentle due to the nature of the exercise ball supporting the body in every aspect. It is more challenging than a basic workout and you can adjust the intensity of the exercises. One thing I've found very convenient about this particular DVD is that each exercise is its own chapter. Therefore if you want to skip an exercise you can just go to the next chapter instead of scanning through the current exercise. Also you can pick and choose which sections you want to do by choosing the "Custom" option on the main menu. There are three sections, the first concentrating on abs and upper body, the second on the lower body and various Pilates moves using the ball, and the last section a combination of allover body workout and stretching. There is also a "fundamentals" section at the beginning to show correct placement on the ball and the basics of positioning, etc. If you do the whole thing it takes about 45 minutes.
Great DVD I am very pleased with this DVD. Susan has a very calming quality to her voice, gives just enough instruction without being chatty. I have been using the DVD less than a month and am already seeing and feeling results. The moves are easy enough as not to be intimidating but challenging enough that I have to work. All moves are doable -except for the "teaser", but can definitely feel that I have worked my core muscles.
