Balance Ball Fitness - Abs Workout [VHS]

There are plenty of ways to work the abs using a stability ball, and instructor Suzanne Deason uses them all. Deason is a yoga and Pilates instructor who incorporates both disciplines in this rigorous, slow-paced workout for the abdominals and back. Deason instructs soothingly and interrupts the workout several times for needed stretches and rest breaks, but your abs will still scream by the end of this 45-minute video.

You'll need a BalanceBall or other stability ball (large, inflatable, exercise ball). If you've never used one before, don't worry--Deason spends time showing you how to sit on it using your balance muscles so you don't roll off. Then she uses the ball in many different positions: sitting on it, lying on it belly up, lying on it belly down, holding it, rolling it, lifting it, bouncing it, even kneeling on it. The moves start out simple and get progressively harder. The result is an intense abdominal workout. --Joan Price
