Do NOT waste your money 1 out of 5
There MUST be better core ball videos out there! Karen Garcia (the main actor) starts off by stating that as we age, our sight and hearing diminish. She then proceeds to speak almost in slow motion. I kept thinking she would start speaking normally, and was horrified to find out that that was the way the entire "beginner" section was presented! And this is TRULY for a first time, never- exercised-before beginner. The DVD changes actors for the challenging section, but that girl is really just interested in her hair. It's annoying because each segment (arms, legs, abs...) is just a few minutes long and doesn't run continuously, so you need to stop and click the remote to get to the next segment. I hate this DVD.

Did not like this at all 1 out of 5
Please do not waste your money on this. It is terrible, slow, and boring. I am extremely disappointed.
Boring and aesthetically unpleasing 1 out of 5
I would recommend it for the elderly or people undergoing physical therapy only and this is why it earns its one star.
I consider myself at a beginner level at this stage of my fitness and this DVD was way too easy for me. It has a ridiculously long warm up (17 min!) followed by a "balance" section that was the same exercises as the warm-up but done with your eyes closed. The remaining sections were not much of an improvement with very easy routines and the main instructor always seeming awkward. Also the nice cover art is misleading as this video has the ugliest set I've ever seen in a workout DVD. There's a small picture of it on the back of the case if you want to see what you're really in for.
Not my favorite 3 out of 5
I'm a beginner and am fairly out of shape, so I thought this would be a good start for me. Unfortunately, it moves WAY too slow and is quite boring, even for a beginner. I find myself fast forwarding through the first several minutes of each section as the lady explains (talking VERY slowly) how to position yourself on the ball and find your balance.
The DVD does contain excerpts from a pilates workout, which are meant for more "advanced" users, but those routines really aren't that hard and are much more enjoyable. I wish I'd gotten a DVD full of those routines instead of this one.
