User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Good for abs
The exercises in this book are great–I noticed a difference just from doing the beginner exercises. You’ll need more than the large ball to take full advantage of the book; you’ll also need 1 or 2 smaller “gymnic overballs.”
4 Stars A fitness first.
When I heard pilates on a ball, I was ecstatic! I was just impressed by the creativity used in coming up with such wonderful exercises.I attempted many of the exercises, and I just saw how valuable they would be to athletes, who have been using traditional exercises for a long time.This new system, is so dynamic, and I just love the fact that even seasoned exercisers would be challenged positively.
The author does an excellent job in introducing the audience to the material.I am not a die hard pilates instructor, so I appreciated it.
5 Stars for a truly different pilates workout try this…
this is an absolutely challenging workout if you enjoy a pilates workout. i found the workout and the results to be most enjoyable. the instructor so thorough and good that i just ordered another dvd pilates workout by her. you won’t be sorry.
5 Stars Excellent ab strengthening moves
After only a few reps, I can feel the work! I like how it builds on moves I am familiar with and has some new ones in there.
5 Stars I only wish there was a DVD on this
I know that most DVDs are for most of the exercises that are done on any exercise endeavor, including those on the ball, I just wish there was a DVD to accompany this book. I believe that DVDs help to keep people motivated to exercise.
That having been stated, this a great book to “wear you out” and get you into shape. I have always thought that doing Pilates was a good thing for the average person, but the ball makes it twice as fun.
If you enjoy ball exercising and feel that it does the job you reshaping you in the way you want, this book will be a lovely addition to your exercise routine.
