Balance Ball Fitness - Lower Body Workout [VHS]

This should be called the Abs, Back, and Lower Body Workout, because the core abdominal and back muscles get a more vigorous workout than the hips, thighs, and buttocks that this video aims to target. Instructor Suzanne Deason--a yoga and Pilates instructor--blends moves inspired by both disciplines with the added abdominal challenge of balancing on the stability ball in this 40-minute video.

If this is your first time using a BalanceBall or other stability ball, pay attention as Deason gets you familiar with the ball first. She then shows you different ways to position yourself on the ball while working your buttocks, hips, and thighs. This isn't the best workout available for those muscles specifically, but if you want a routine that also works the abs and strengthens the back, you'll appreciate it.

Deason is a soft-voiced, patient instructor, explaining clearly and demonstrating beautifully. The scene is a wood deck overlooking a woods and stream. Quiet music plays in the background. --Joan Price
