10 Minute Solution: Fitness Ball Workouts

I really like this workout, i start out with lets just do one segment and end up doing four. enjoyable perfect for people who want to workout but dont have alot of time.

This has been one of my favorite workout video purchases. The dvd is broken into 5 ten minute sections, and I love that I can program it to play the segments in the order that I want, and I can do 1, 2, 3, 4, or all 5. Kimberly is upbeat but not too perky and annoying.

You would think that using the fitness ball that it would be an easy workout, but it is not. I can feel the burn in my muscles in all the segments, and my heart rate pumping in the cardio section. One of the advantages to this workout is that it is intense but still easy on the joints. I have lupus so I need something that doesn't stress my joints and the ball really reduced the impact on my joints, while still working my muscles. My sister and I do the dvd together and we both break out into a sweat and are breathing hard by the end.

I do recommend getting a fitness ball that is really stiff. If your ball is too soft, or squishy, some of the moves will be impossible to perform.

I like this DVD, but only when combined with other fitness DVDs. Usually I'll do 10 minutes of this one to warm up or cool down, then pop in a cardio dvd or a more intensive 10 minute solutions -- like carb burner -- and do a couple of sections of that, followed by a cool down.

The legs section on this is a great warmup for your legs, especially the hamstrings. If you do this one and then go for a hike the blood will already be flowing to your muscles! I also liked the abs because it forced me to do 10 min of abs on the ball whereas normally I'll just drop down and do a few crunches.

I agree with one of the other reviewers that the weights she uses in the arms section are unrealistic. I just change out 5 pound and 10 pound weights and don't worry about doing every single rep, as long as I feel challenged. If you want a good weights workout, stick with Jari Love. This one is ok and at least it's short!

I liked this product alot you can personalize your own workout to target the areas your need help with the most. Plus the lady doesn't have an annoying voice like alot of videos.

I thought that this workout was a very good workout from beginner to advanced. I felt like I was in pretty good shape but after I did the DVD for the first time, I had trouble walking and sitting the next day...so it works. It is easily broken out into 5-10 minute workouts. If you just wanted to work certain areas it would be very easy to alter your workout. There are lunges and squats for the lower body segment that I don't typically like to do but seemed a little easier with ball to help balance you.
