User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Balanceball workout
Tanya is a great instructor and there are a variety of moves using the balance ball. This is a good workout.
5 Stars Excellent workout!
My wife and I both love Tanja’s workouts on the Balance Ball. In addition to this DVD we also own the Total Body Toning on the Balance Ball and they are the core (excuse the pun) of our weekly workouts.
The music in both DVDs is very nice to listen to, not just drum machine beats and synthesizers. The outdoor settings are gorgeous.
Tanja is very fun and personable while she explains each move and encourages you throughout the workout. And they truly are FULL BODY workouts that tone you and give you full cardio burn as well.
And the wide variety of exercises on both DVDs means you work a wide variety of muscles and won’t get bored out doing one set of exercises over and over. We will definitely be purchasing her third and any future DVD.
Highly recommend!
3 Stars Lame Video
The workout ball is good for abs, but the video workout is for someone who has never worked out before in there life.
4 Stars Challenging functional fitness and balance moves
I am an intermediate/advanced exerciser (advanced on strength work). I enjoyed the core section of the DVD, but felt it wasn’t challenging enough – although you could always increase the intensity by adding a light med ball to the crunches on the balance ball. Then I did the lower body section. It really focused on my weak areas – glutes, hamstrings and adductors. Ow – those parts are talking to me right now! I think this section would be a good complement to traditional strength work, and it’s short enough to use as an add-on.
Overall, this is a great DVD. Each section is well-designed, starts with a gentle warm-up and includes a fun balance challenge. Tanja is an encouraging instructor with a delightful personality. The only disappointment for me is that the stretch section is yoga-inspired; I was hoping for stretching which incorporates the balance ball. As with the other DVDs in this Gaiam series, the location and music really enhance the workout.
4 Stars Great, energetic workout DVD
Love the instructor’s energy. Keeps it upbeat and fun to continue working, not patronizing like some other instructors can be. Would recommend to a friend.
