DVD Reviews of Quick Fix - Stability Ball Workout
DVD Review: Truly just a quick workout, if that...
Summary: 3 Stars
This is definitely a good tool for learning about form and getting some ideas about different exercises to do on the stability ball. I didn't know who the instructor was before purchasing this, but it turns out she has a peppy Australian (?) accent and close to a fitness competitor's physique, in other words: very muscular. I was a little surprised, but she comes off as pleasant and friendly.
The three ten-minute segments are too short to do much, but they'll probably deliver on "strengthening your muscles and improving your balance and coordination" like the DVD says they will. Using it may help relieve any guilt about not exercising more than getting you in shape. But something is always better than nothing. I'm 5'1, under 100 lbs. and pretty active. My take on the segments:
1: Lower body -- There was only one exercise that I really felt working my muscles. Otherwise it was more balance and movement.
2: Arms and Back -- This section was probably the most informational for me. I came away with exercises to do on my own rather than wanting to repeat the DVD. The one thing I was disappointed with was that the exercises go back and forth (in no particular order) between arms, chest, back and shoulders. This isn't a good practice to follow for more serious workouts, especially with weights. It's generally more beneficial and safer to focus on working the big muscle groups first and then move on to supporting muscles, ie. back/chest then shoulders then arms. But I think the routine was designed this way so the exercises would flow easily due to positioning on the ball. Also, given the light weights used and minimal amount of time doing each exercise, the instructor (who obviously has a lot of knowledge) probably decided it wasn't vital.
3: Abs -- I'm not a sit-up person. In fact, I hate doing ab work. I almost never do, so I must have weak abs. But I didn't find this segment difficult or boring. Perhaps thats a negative and a positive.
There are three women demonstrating the exercises, one who does modified versions to make them easier. If you pay a lot of attention to form, you can get great results from this kind of exercise. This probably isn't an every-day, get results DVD. I bought it for $5 and, after watching it, wouldn't have paid more. If you're a beginner and like workout videos or are just curious, it may be worth it. If you're advanced or work out regularly already, I don't know if you'll end up using it too often.
