Customer Rating:      Summary: great beginners workout with a great teacher! Comment: lizbeth is a great teacher- for some reason this is one of the few workout videos where there instructor doesn't annoy me. i think the workout is great- its a constant buildup, offering challenges for the growing advancement. I love her she layers the workouts, challenging several different muscle groups. i LOVE this!
Customer Rating:      Summary: I do not reccomend this if you are a beginner! Comment: This is not a good beginners workout and it is boring. There are no options given if you are not strong enough to do the moves. Since this is a 'beginners' work out- well it would be helpful. Also there is not an overview to the the basic moves, tips or even proper use of the ball, etc. I am truly a beginner- but even if I were experienced- it's dull.
I bought this because of the reviews- Does Amazon allow anyone to review- or only people who have bought the product!?!?!?!?!?
Customer Rating:      Summary: A flawed video for sure. Comment: I used to do windsor pilates, I think my video was with Daisy Fuentes. I thought it would be fun to do a workout on my stability ball but I was totally wrong! There is no lower-impact option... which is especially nice when you're just starting out. She also sometimes says the wrong word and doesn't correct herself, so it's hard to understand what you're supposed to be doing.
Biggest problem: If you're above 5'6" (I'm 5'8") you get a slightly bigger stability ball. This workout doesn't have that larger stability ball in mind. Some of the moves are impossible because of the size of the larger ball. This is a problem for me and I wish I would have just bought a dvd copy of windsor pilates to replace my old vhs. What a waste of ten dollars!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Woohoo! Comment: OK, I've tried everything and this is a great dvd. I am still a little bit wobbly on the ball, but I'm learning. And Lizbeth is a good teacher. I've only been doing this for 2 weeks so far, and I'm certainly feelin' it after each workout. I haven't lost weight yet (I think I need to add some cardio in there, but I feel taller and I SWEAR my waist and abs are changing in shape. I love this and cannot talk about it enough!
Customer Rating:      Summary: stability ball workout Comment: 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.
