DVD Reviews of The Method - The Stability Ball Workout
DVD Review: Ehh...
Summary: 3 Stars
I did not like it, maybe the ball thing isn't for me. Too hard on my shoulders and elbowDVD Review: Not so great
Summary: 2 Stars
I've owned this dvd for about a year and use it periodically for a switch from the ones I really like. The instructor is very wordy - there are big gaps so she can instruct before an exercise actually starts. I find her voice and her repeated "wunnerful" annoying. The exercises range from too easy to really hard. Music is fine, set is supposed to be a stage set of Great Salt Lake shore or something. I'm giving this dvd away now, after having given it a fair shot. Its boring and now, off even on my "alternative dvds" shelf.DVD Review: just so-so
Summary: 3 Stars
Like other reviewers commented, this is intermediate in intensity and gets boring quickly, although far from the worst I've seen. I like the Quick Fix - Stability Ball Workout much better, bought both at the same time and never use this one anymore.DVD Review: Awful
Summary: 1 Stars
I really feel that I just wasted both my time and money with this DVD. The workout is so easy. Please, do not buy this DVD if you are alreay in decent shape. I have been doing pilates for several years and wanted to try something similar, but new and challenging. I really like, but struggle with Kathy Smith's 20-minute BONUS stability ball workout in her Lift Weights to Lose Weight 2 DVD, and thought this would be similar. Boy was I wrong.DVD Review: Pretty good for beginners.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have tried other stability ball workout videos/dvds and found this one pretty comprehensive for a beginner. The instructor gives you the basics on how to use the stability ball including proper breathing techniques and posture (vital information for not hurting oneself). The instructor always gives you a preview of what the move is suppose to look like and how it is supposed to feel before you try out the move yourself. I have used the program on a regular, weekly basis and have always found it challenging so far. This program does offer some alternate moves for a more challenging or easier workout. However,I feel that it does not offer enough of a challenge option when I progress further. The chapter selections are by target body regions and very easy to navigate. You may choose to skip the introduction and go straight to the workouts when you feel more confident about your skills.
Description of The Method - The Stability Ball Workout
This video is made up of four workouts plus a warm-up and cool down segment. By focusing on the problem area's of the body you can literally target the section you want to work the most this program is perfect for beginners and even the most advanced practitioner.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?HEALTH/FITNESS UPC:?071083562365 Manufacturer No:?5623-6Intermediate and advanced exercisers looking for a challenge will enjoy this blend of Pilates, yoga, ballet, and fitness training all atop a ball. Beginners, however, may feel this workout should be called "Instability Ball."(And they would do better starting with Quick Fix Stability Ball Workout, a shorter, easier program from the same production team.) Instructor Katalin Rodriguez Zamiar and her two able assistants helpfully demonstrate most of the moves once before beginning, making the DVD longer but less frustrating than usual. The 50-minute workout begins with a warm-up that includes pelvic rocks while leaning back on the ball and side lunges with one arm slung across it. Then it's on to a 12-minute segment on legs: extensions and lunges with torso rotations. The arms get just five minutes and then it's 11 minutes on the abs with sit-ups, scissors, the Pilates 100, triceps presses, single-leg pikes, crunches, and back bends. An 8-minute session for the gluts wraps things up with the phenomenally complicated frog move. At that point everyone should welcome the cool down! --Kimberly Heinrichs
