i like this workout alot, but i do like most stability ball

workouts, so i wasnt surprised that i enjoyed it.

i like that all of the exercises are for the core of the body and

there are no standard crunches. also no dumbells are involved.

stability ball workouts are usually quite functional which

also appeals to me. i enjoy trying to balance, i guess.

each exercise is done for 30 seconds, followed by 30 seconds of

recovery, and performed for two sets. most of the time i was

quite happy for the 30 second rests. there are some advanced

exercises, like pike, and a one legged lunge (with rear leg up on

ball), plank with hands on ball (easier to picture than to

actually do) and a 'skier' move that took me a while to get the

hang of (roll out w/ feet on ball, pull into a tuck, then move

hips side to side for oblique crunch... i think!... need to watch

that one again).

the warmup and cooldown was the standard ones provided on the

menu.
