I’ve seen a lot fitness DVDs and this is probably the first one that follows the beat, everything on 8 count. It flows perfectly. If you took an exam to become an aerobics instructor in the UK and were off the beat, you would fail immediately. Here a lot of good instructors do that – Jillian Michaels for example – great fitness knowledge, not in line with music at all, it simply doesn’t flow!!!
As for this DVD, I was really pleased, split into a couple sections – upper body, lower body, core, stretches, very good selection of exercise, decent number of reps, good teaching points.
I do recommend it!

This DVD really puts my stability ball to good use. I really enjoy the ab and upper body workout. The only thing I don’t like is that every single exersice involves the ball. On some moves I’m thinking to myself “ok, can’t I do this without the ball?” This happens more in the cardio portion more than anything; as some of those moves seem pretty silly. Overall, it’s a good purchase because a lot of those moves get enhanced by using the ball. If you’re looking for more of a cardio workout, I’d look elsewhere.

The instructor is so boring and not fun to watch. The exercises are complex and so hard to follow. I bought this for my stability ball that I bought but after I watched it once I don’t think I’ll use this DVD again. Go get Tone Trouble Zone by Amy Bento – that one is great.

This is a great work out. It really get’s my heart pumping, and Kimberly is a pleasant instructor.
However, I bought my fitness ball separate from the DVD because it was less expensive. Big mistake.
My fitness ball seems to be smaller than Kimberly’s. Although I can do most of the exercises, there are parts where she is leaning forward on her ball, which I can’t do.
Most of the time I just do regular crunches when these parts come up, but I would have liked to do the routine.

This was my first fitness ball routine. And it kind of makes me not want to get another one. There are a lot of repeating moves in this video. I did like the arm and ab portions however. I have to say out of my 10 minute solution collection this one is my least favorite. The instructor was nice, kind of like being instructed by Laura Ingles on Little House on the Prairie.
