[.ca] Balance Ball: Abs Workout (ISBN 6305895791)

From Amazon.com:
There are plenty of ways to work the abs using a stability ball, and instructor Suzanne Deason uses them all. Deason is a yoga and Pilates instructor who incorporates both disciplines in this rigorous, slow-paced workout for the abdominals and back. Deason instructs soothingly and interrupts the workout several times for needed stretches and rest breaks, but your abs will still scream by the end of this 45-minute video. You'll need a BalanceBall or other stability ball (large, inflatable, exercise ball). If you've never used one before, don't worry--Deason spends time showing you how to sit on it using your balance muscles so you don't roll off. Then she uses the ball in many different positions: sitting on it, lying on it belly up, lying on it belly down, holding it, rolling it, lifting it, bouncing it, even kneeling on it. The moves start out simple and get progressively harder. The result is an intense abdominal workout. --Joan Price

Suzanne Deason rules!:
I first bought the balance ball kit with the sample video. I did that for a while so I could get used to using the balance ball. I then bought all three of the tapes that go with the balance ball. This ab workout is really great. It really works all of the ab muscles without being too hard on the body. I like this workout as a nice change of pace from aerobics, etc.

Sore the next day:
I've been working out for some time and let me tell you that this video actually made me sore the next day. There's one very advanced move that will take some time to master, however the rest is a really great workout.

Requires some advanced yoga:
This video does work just that its a yoga based video. Because of this you will not get results unless you use proper breathing. Also some of the yoga moves, especially towards the end, are particularly advanced. I have not mastered them yet but I think with continued use of this video I will. I like all the videos in the series because aside from just getting a good workout, they help me relax and I feel generally soothed after each one. This video is difficult so do not try it unless you have patience because you probably will not be able to do all of it the first time.

Great Abs Workout:
I love this video. The first time I did it, it didn't feel like I was working anything, but I did the whole 30 minutes nonetheless. Later that evening, I couldn't believe how much I had worked my abs. They actually hurt when I laughed! And I couldn't work them for a few days. Since then, I can do the tape every other day or so and I can see a lot more definition. I feel great and refreshed on the days that I do the tape. Also, it is a very relaxing setting and Suzanne is very calming which is good if you're not looking for a high energy workout. Very yoga-like.

Feel refreshed after doing this:
I thoroughly enjoy working through this tape. I've only been doing it for about 2 weeks, and I can already feel my progress. After working out, I feel tall and my abs feel tight (a small feat after 3 kids). The yoga mood is relaxing too. I look forward to doing this one day, then a Zone tape the next.
