I liked the addition this dvd made to my collection. Desiring an easier day, one in which I wanted to stave off sickness, yet not overdo it, this fit the bill. Included mild toning, liked the stretching especially for hamstrings, which for me are tight, liked the exercises for the feet, often overlooked. Good length,too, 40 minutes.
Movie Reviews
Great for Beginners.

"What I like about this workout is that it is not "intense." Expect to work and stretch every muscle. But, don't expect to sweat. The workout feels easy, but then the next morning, you feel sore. The instructions are terrific. The setting is perfect. The workout is easy to learn and follow. It is a splendid mix of pilates, yoga, and balance ball.This is a beginner DVD. If you are in pretty good shape, I would not recommend this title."
A complement to the other Suzanne Deason ball videos

"I was reluctant to buy this DVD because I already have the other balance ball videos of Suzanne Deason's. But I'm glad that I bought it. Balance Ball for Beginners has different movements in it and there were almost no repeat exercises from her previous videos. The DVD also has chapters which not all exercise DVD's have, so you can do one or two segments at a time. A practical purchase for a beginner as well."
Excellent basic balance ball workout

"Of all the balance ball videos I have seen, this one is the best. Suzanne Deason's voice is wonderful and she describes the moves so well that you do not have to watch the screen while working out. The pace is not too fast, nor too slow. The best part of the DVD is in special features, which gives a 15 minute basic workout sequence that can be done quickly at any time during the day and leaves you feeling refreshed. The regular workout then can be done when you have more time. I highly recommend this DVD to use with your balance ball, and I prefer Ms. Deason's voice to all others."
Great REintroduction

"I love this workout! A former Pilates junkie, I haven't been able to work out for 2 years because of various abdominal problems. This workout is the perfect re-introduction to fitness. I was able to do all the exercises even though I only had major abdominal surgery 7 weeks ago. If you have never tried Pilates, exercise ball workouts, or yoga, do yourself a favor and view the DVD *before* you attempt your first workout. You don't want to have to try to see what the instructor is doing at the same time as you are trying to do the exercises for the first time. I see this being perfect for getting me back in the swing of things, and after I am back up to speed I will go back to this for relaxation."
