Fantastic 5 out of 5
I had tried this workout a friend's house and loved the way it helped me to target certain muscles. It goes at a slow pace, yet you KNOW you've just had a thorough workout when you're done! Getting used to balancing on the ball really strengthens your core. My posture has improved and I am noticing definition. I have lost over 30 inches of body fat using this tape and a sensible diet. I HIGHLY recomend it to anyone serious about re-shaping their body without having to go to a gym.

Great for the Beginner 5 out of 5
This DVD is great for the beginner. I used a ball in physical therapy and they told me I should get one at home. At first I just used the ball while watching TV - it was fun. Then I got this DVD and it was easy to understand how to do the moves but challenging enough that I felt I was actually doing something. It's slow paced so you have time to figure out where to put this foot and that hand. Good luck!
Caution! Same as other Dummie Ball workout. 3 out of 5
I was looking for a similar workout to Liz Gilles On the Ball workout that was on VHS and was one of the best ball workouts I have ever found.
I purchased both Fat to Firm Ball workout for Dummies and Stability Ball workout for Dummies. Both by Gilles. They are exactly the same workout! So, I'm unhappy about that waste of money. For the workout itself, it was okay, nothing like what I was looking for.
Nice Workouts 5 out of 5
I have a couple of For Dummies Books that are okay and this is the first video that I bought for Dummies. It was a very good choice. A good selection of exercises to work with and targets muscle groups. Also has workouts that are easier/harder depedending on how good you are at them.
