Summary: Good addition to my library
Review: Great work-out, needs only a small area to use. Good toning for abs, legs and upper body. Some use of weights for upper body. Kelli Roberts makes workout easy to follow.
I use it 2 times a week to supplement my other ball and yoga videos.
Glad I bought it

Summary: Good introduction to stability ball work....
Review: I am new at ball work, this program is a good place to start.
This features Keli Roberts, who has been around a long time.
She does a good job instructing in this video, very pleasant
and has a neat accent. She has 2 other exercisers with her one
of which performs the beginner modifications.
This video is divided into three 10 minute segments, lower body,
upper body and abs. You can choose to do one or all three
of them depending on your schedule. The lower body segment
does a good job targeting the hamstrings especially, but hits
the inner thighs and rest of the legs and "backyard" as Keli refers to it as well. The upper body requires 2 sets of dumbells, lighter and heavier. You will work all the upper body muscles, shoulders, back, biceps, chest and triceps, some of which where you are lifting one arm and lifting the opposite leg. Good way to work on balance and core stability this way. Finally you work the abs and back, there is a set of reverse crunches at the end which are tough, I always have a fire in my abs after I am done with those.
This is a good video for those new to ball work, like myself,
some may feel it is too easy for it is the perfect level for
me.

Summary: FUN Workout !
Review: I have been using this workout for about 3 weeks now.I have been rotating Firm tapes using up to 15 pound weights and walking for almost a year which helped me lose weight, but had reached a plateau.My abs needed something new and my balance has always been bad due to mild curvature of my spine. Also, I have one ankle that has always been swollen since childhood, so my hamstrings and calves needed lots of work. I felt kind of silly using the stability ball at first but WOW what changes I have seen!
The Quick Fix workout is excellent, especially the hamstring and back exercises. Kelli is a wonderful instructor and no time is wasted in the 30 minutes, the workout is surprisingly effective for upper and lower body and abs and it is never dull.I actually look forward to it and find it fun, and I can feel it working, so it is challenging.What's more, it has given me results FAST, in combination with my other workouts,and it has helped me break through my plateau.
I love how my balance has improved and how my inner thighs and abs have tightened. The ball uses muscles I didn't know I had, I can actually see my hamstrings now.Also, I had considered buying a weight bench for pec flies but with the ball there is no need for that, I can do them on the ball, and work my abs and core at the same time. This workout is worth the money and I really am glad I have it!

Summary: Fun, Quick, Easy to Follow Ball Workout
Review: I love this workout! It's great. It includes three-10 minute sessions: Lower Body, Arms & Back, and Abs. You can do individually, or all together. This was my first balance ball DVD and I still use it regularly. It is upbeat and only as hard as you make it.Please check my other workout and yoga DVDs.

Summary: Awesome
Review: I love this workout. It moves very quickly, but I found it quite challenging. I bought my stability ball with the Gaiam videos featuring Suzanne Deason, and I didn't like those at all--they seemed very slow to me, and not very challenging. I wanted to get more out of my ball, so I tried this one. Much better! Keli is a great instructor; no unnecessary chipperiness. I can feel my balance and strength improving each time I do it. My only complaint is that there is no stretching at the end of the segments, so you'll have to do those on your own. The use of the stability ball as a weight bench during the upper body is brilliant--you get much more out of your dumbbells when you're also focusing on balance.

Summary: Fun, Quick, and Effective!
Review: I love this workout. This is the exercise routine I do when I'm not in the mood to exercise! It moves by quickly, and has a minute countdown which is great for those of us who can't stand working out and tend to stare at the clock anyway! I'm not a big fan of yoga and yoga ball exercises, but this video is much more like strength training and the woman directing the video isn't corny or annoying at all. Great for alternating with a cardio dvd throughout the week. LOVE IT LOVE IT!

Summary: Great for a quick workout!
Review: I would definitely recommend this DVD. The 3 ten minute segments are great because you can pick what you want to work - lower body, upper body, or abs/back. The ab workout is the best workout I've ever gotten for my abs. They are much more sore than after using a roman chair or incline sit ups. It's cheap and convenient! A must buy!

Summary: Works your belly well no matter what area you work.
Review: I"m quite pleased with this DVD. The reviewer giving it one star was probably looking for an aerobic workout. This DVD is for toning. It's divided into three sections with a ten minute countdown in the corner of the screen. If you want more reps, simply repeat. Which is so easy to do on the DVD.The instructor is a bit intimidating physically with her six pack abs, but her commentary isn't intimidating whatsoever. I liked her Aussie accent. It's nice to have modifications too if you need them.
