Exercise Balls For Dummies

Very detailed and easy to follow. We are making very good use of this book as a starter for exercise ball circuit at gym.

It's like an enciclopedia about the ball and its exercise. In detail, very well done.

A good book for understanding how to use an exercise ball.Well presented and different levels catered for.Concise and clear.

Received the book in good time and enjoyed it. Not much else I can say!

Well i got this because of a long term back problem which refused to go away. I was recommended to try the "Swiss ball" and all i found was that my pain got worse.The reason? I had spinal cancer which no one had considered testing me for.So before you go exercising yourself, if you've had an ongoing back problem that's just not going away, get your GP to have you x-rayed and then, if you're still not satisfied, INSIST on an MRI scan.So be warned - exercise balls are not a wonderful cure all. You need to be certain that you'll benefit before you start.

Livre pas intéressant. Trop de texte. Déçu.

Lots of good tips and good demonstrations for how to use this ball. Regrettably I find the one I ordered too big, my own fault... I just ordered a smaller one. Easy to inflate and seems to hold the air well.

I rated this a five star because it provided to me everything that i had hoped for, i.e. exercises that I can do with explanations that were simple and clear. At 82 years of age, I'm not exactly looking to beat the world with Olympic level routines. Rather, I was looking for exercises that will stretch me out while providing a safe, full-body workout. This book does that while providing sufficient numbers of exercises and photos to create an interesting and sufficiently challenging workout.

A little bit slim on workouts but the stretching part is O.K. for me

Outdated. On page 33, multiple vendors are listed, most of whom don't even sell these balls or don't exist. I am now going down the list of websites on Page 34 and some of these websites don't exist. The book was written in 2005 and they really need to update it. Because she was giving a lot of information on buying the right ball, I was going to get a new one. So far the exercises look pretty good and the book is very thorough.
