Rating: Summary: Great for a beginner! Review: I am just getting back into exercising after many years of bad health and I just love this DVD. It is an excellent beginning ball program. Leslie explains and shows you every exercise very clearly. You can make it harder by doing more reps or adding heavier weights. Leslie is very clear and pleasant also!
Rating: Summary: Great for beginners, but not much of a challenge Review: I bought this video mainly because I love Leslie's Walk Away the Pounds series and wanted to add some strength training using a stability ball. The instruction is simple and clear, but the workouts are not as challenging as I had hoped. The instructional portion of the video is ~15 minutes long, leaving only 21 minutes for the "Core Workout" and the "Challenge Workout." Like many of Leslie's tapes, she gives you modifications to make the moves more challenging...I could do them the very first time through. I think this tape would be great for someone who is new to exercise, but I'll need something more strenuous to keep building my fitness level.
Rating: Summary: Disappointed Review: I'm a HUGE fan of Leslie's walking DVDs and videos. This one was pretty much a waste of time. There was no challenge to this very short workout. All of the exercises could be done (perhaps more efficiently) without the ball. There are far better stability ball workouts on the market.
Rating: Summary: Waste of time and money Review: The video is only 1/2 an hr long. The 1st 10 minutes she spent talking about the ball and how to sit and bounce on it. No new news there. Then she does 4 basic, uneventful ab exercises in the Ab section, followed by a few basic boring moves in the core and upper body section. Not one new or interesting move. I bought this hoping for a fun ab routine; I'll stick to Abs of Steel.
