 Great! Mar 11, 2007
By Melanie
I bought this because all I really wanted was the stability ball. I decided to try the workout DVD as well and I am so glad I did! They guarentee visible results in 10 workouts. After doing this workout 3 times I noticed a significant change in strength, stamina, and balance/coordination. This is a good workout and it is low impact. I have minor osteoarthritis of my spine and I have never felt discomfort like with some other exercise programs.

Great Ab Workout! Oct 05, 2006
By Jennifer Kohlbrecher
Allie works your abs the entire time in this 30 minute workout. You also get a great shoulder/chest/back workout in addition to some great bun toners! I consider myself an advanced exerciser and I still get a great workout from this.

 Ball too small Jan 20, 2008
By H. Wilson
"zoogirl"
The box says the 55 cm ball is appropriate for users up to 5'5", however I'm 5'3" and this ball is too small for me. The workout video that comes with the ball is excellent, but unfortunately the 55 cm ball is too small for me to do all the exercises as they are presented. I would suggest that if you are on the taller end of the range which the box recommends then opt for the 65 cm ball.

Good introduction of the stability ball but be careful to get the right size ball! Apr 24, 2008
By L.Creek
I liked this workout but can tell that is is probably done at a beginner/lower intermediate level like most of the new Firms. It was a great introduction to using a stability ball for me and I really enjoyed the workout. It is a short 30 minute workout great for a light day when you are short on time or great to add with another longer workout. Ab work seems more comfortable to me using the ball and it worked by behind and abs in ways that traditional exercises can't. I think Allie did a great job leading this workout and it was a great change of pace in my workouts. I have mixed reviews on the ball. It seems of good quality and I love the pink one that was recommended for my height of 5'3 but I think it might be slightly small for someone of my height. I would almost recommend for future purchasers to go up a size in the ball especially if you are within a few inches of the next size. This was still worth the purchase for me as I am transitioning from Firm workouts to Cathe and needed a stability ball; so I thought I would get one with a video at a good price.

A MUST HAVE for pregnancy as well! Aug 10, 2011
By krystlnickel
I purchased this after going to a childbirthing education class and hearing on how this helps with labour and delivery. If you are pregnant and wondering how this is so I will explain: Once you sit upon the ball, rotate your hips around in circles. Start with a small circle then gradually work your way up to bigger circles, once you get to the biggest circle you can do, reverse and do the biggest circle in the other direction working your way back down to the smaller circles. The circles help to excercise and open your pelvis, which is going to help with childbirth. Not to mention it feels fabulous! In case you are wondering my height is 5'1" and I am 9 months pregnant and weigh 165 pounds. The ball is perfect size for me and holds my weight extremely well. The excercise dvd that comes with it seems easy enough to do the excercises, I have not done them yet as I am pregnant and want to wait until after baby to do those. It comes with a pump and 3 white plugs for the ball. The plugs are in the bag with the ball, at first I didnt see them and almost threw them away, so be sure to take them out. I guess they give you three in case you loose one because it doesnt seem like they could fall out so that would be my only guess. I would absolutly reccomend this product to my friends and I highly reccomend it to any pregnant woman as well :)
