 This is a (bad) joke! August 10, 2008
JL Cosme (WI)
I like other Kathy Smith's videos, but this balance ball workout is terrible... it's a joke! A bad joke. It's even funny to see Kathy's ball is too small for her!!! The routine is extremely boring and the guy in the video is mostly ignored by Kathy. I feel bad for him. Whenever he says anything she seems uncomfortable and just keep going without paying attention to him at all. And as he is shorter than her they look so funny. This really seems a sketch of a bad comedy or something. There are plenty of much better balance ball workouts out there. I only paid $.85 cents for this one but wish I would have bought a Kit-Kat instead. What a shame.

Since this is Kathy Smith, you can be sure that it is well-researched, safe, and clear. In fact, for learning the correct form for stability ball workouts, it is hard to beat.
However, it is a training session, not a workout. Unless you are very new to this form of workout, you will not feel that you have done much work. Your heartrate will not rise. You will not look forward to those slightly sore muscles the next day. And there is a great deal of talking and no music, so you certainly will not experience that "flow" enjoyment of the workout.
There are lots of good moves, though, for abs and back in particular. There are some nice stretches,and several exercises I hadn't encountered in classes or other workout DVDs.
I would say this is ideal for getting to know the stability ball and learning how to adapt moves for different levels of difficulty.
Once you've gone through it, though, go to a class or try Lizbeth Garcia's On the Ball Pilates workout instead.

The workout says it has a running time of 30 minutes, but is really about 20 minutes when you cut out all the unnecessary talking. Between exercises, I found myself sitting around waiting for instruction on the next move. It seemed like Kathy and her really awkward work out partner just kept going on and on about how great this exercise ball was. I don't want to hear all about the ball during a workout, I want to use it, save it for the introduction. The whole workout is choppy, disjointed and not so great.

A slow moving tape with so much talk that you can hardly stand it especially after the second or third time around. This tape is going to Goodwill. I hope they don't mark it too high.
THEN there is Mikey! It's an embarrassment to watch he and Kathy flirting like Junior High kids. What was Kathy Smith thinking? Didn't she watch this sad act before putting it on the market?

Kathy Smith, why on earth did you use a ball too small for your height? Stability balls come in different sizes for your height. Knees should be parallel with hips. There are other ball workouts out there that are better than this one.
