Format: DVD MOVIE Reader Reviews I am a very experienced exerciser with 90 percent (or more) of my workouts being done at home w/ DVD's and the like. I am a "graduate" of Tony Horton's P90X workout (which is amazing, a 90 day high intensity program from Beachbody) and in my Post P90X workouts I've been utilizing a mix of disciplines using a large amount of Beachbody workouts by both Tony Horton and Debbie Siebers alternating those with Yoga and Pilates programs. I am new comparatively to working out with the stability ball but have really enjoyed what it brings into my exercise rotation. I had one of Liz Gillie's Pilates DVD's (Target Tone) and really liked her a lot. She didn't dissapoint me at all with this ball workout. She has a great variety of exercises that workout your whole body and does a great job explaining each exercise. The Dummie's programs in general are very good (I like the Pilates workout for Dummies with Michelle Dozois quite a bit as well). There are many tips that are given throughout and modifications to make the exericises either less or more challenging. My only minor complaint is that there were times I felt that things were a bit rushed especially in terms of the tempo for the dumbell. I find there's a lot more benefit to a bit of a slower cadence, especially on the negative portion of the reps. Still, it one can just go slower and do less reps if they want, or just pause the program if they want to do as many reps at a slower pace. So, overall an excellent program that I'd highly recommend!
