4 out of 5 stars stability ball workout    November 5, 2008
C. Pollard (oxford, ohio)
This dvd really surprised me! I am not used to the balance ball workouts, thinking they would not be that effective. Silly me! This is a great workout, challenging for me as a beginner. Easy to follow and it flowed smoothly. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because I did have an achy back after, but I have 2 herniated disks, and just need to keep doing it to build up my core (hence the reason for this particular workout!)I would recommend it to anyone though.

I am really enjoying this DVD to add some different ways of working with Pilates in my exercises. I have working alot on my abs with this DVD and feel the results, love that part alot. As a relatively new person to Pilates and working my way up there were many things I could do on this DVD as a beginner. If you like Pilates and want to add some extras (such as a ball) that will further strengthen you, Lizbeth will help.

I am kind of new to the pilates thing, but the few videos I have done, I have loved. This one was no exception. It was so much fun that when it was over, I was left thinking, "is that it"? Hah. Although I consider myself to be fit with good ab strength, it has been two days and I am still sore. I do agree with other reviewers that said this workout is something to build up to. You probably won't master it on the first try.

This DVD can teach you dozens of things to do on an exercise ball that you never thought possible. The title says for "beginners" but I found it to be pretty intermediate myself.

Overall I love using this workout video...it concentrates on your core muscles but definitely is no cardio workout. I find myself skipping the first part because she goes entirely too slow at first. Be prepared to mute the video and/or listen to music after the first time watching...she is really annoying and says "inhale, exhale" probably 300 times. She's good though!


5 out of 5 stars A fun challenge    September 13, 2008

This video combined two forms of exercise I love. The stability ball and pilates. The routine takes pilates off the floor and challenges your core muscles to remain stable on the ball. I fell off my ball the first five tries. The moves look simple, but require focus and strength to execute. I'm a huge fan. This is the video that redeemed by Core Secrets ball (Don't bother with Core Secrets. Their exercises can be found on any library ball workout video.)
