GoFit Ultimate Burst Resistant Core Stability Ball with Workout DVD (65 cm) Review

GoFit Ultimate Burst Resistant Core Stability Ball with Workout DVD
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased 2 GoFit Ultimate Burst Resistant Core Stability Balls w/DVD (orange 55cm and purple 65cm) over a year ago from Amazon (on sale). The ball is a very durable, good quality ball (no foul smells or sticky surfaces like some other stability balls). I haven't had any problems with the ball in over a year of constant use. I have had to occasionally add air to keep the ball at the appropriate size (but nothing out of the ordinary).

This package comes with the ball, pump and workout DVD. I didn't even attempt to use the cheap manual pump included, but opted to use my husband's automatic pump, which quickly and easily inflated the ball to the desired size without any effort. The workout DVD is that in name only. It has some good exercise ideas, but if you are looking for a stability ball workout, you will probably want to buy a separate "true" stability ball workout DVD. [..]

As a side note ...

When determining what size stability ball to purchase, leg length (not height) is what ultimately dictates the size ball you need. If you know you have shorter or longer legs for your height, then you may need to get a smaller or larger ball than the standard height charts for stability balls.

For those of you who are unsure of how much to inflate your stability ball, here are some helpful guidelines taken from the fitnesource site ... On a wall, measure 55cm, 65cm or 75cm (depending on the ball size you have) from the floor and mark it with a pencil. Then inflate the ball until it feels/looks "full", but is not hard and still has a little bit of give in it when you press on it. Put the ball close to the mark you made on the wall and then place a ruler on top of the ball so that it touches the top of the ball and the mark on the wall. This will tell you how close you are to the maximum inflation for your ball size. If this is the first time you are inflating the ball, while it might seem full, it might still measure small. If this happens, give the ball a day to "stretch out" and then add some additional air, if needed. If you don't want to do all that, they also sell tape measures specifically for measuring the diameter of stability balls. Just keep in mind, that when you sit on the ball with your feet flat on the ground and knees bent, your knees should be level with or slightly lower than your hips (a 90 degree angle).

Weight Loss with Hypnosis CD: Lose up to 15 Pounds in 21 Days! Review

Weight Loss with Hypnosis CD: Lose up to 15 Pounds in 21 Days
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Having lost a substantial amount of weight with a local hypnotherapist who later moved away, I began collecting a library of hypnosis cd's for weight control.Of the dozen or so I've used, this one far exceeds the others in quality and efficacy.

Two sessions are included:A wonderful, lilting female voice takes you to deep relaxation, then jam-packs the remainder of the first session with suggestions to help you eat healthily and prefer less food.I'm finding the program remarkably effective, and attribute it to my newfound control over food since losing my hypnotherapist.The second session uses the same basic format, but focuses on generating, or increasing a desire for physical activity.I consider this an added bonus, and I'm seeing welcome changes in myself regarding exercise.I feel so strongly about it that I've ordered three more for family members struggling with weight issues.I only wish the author would offer additional weight control and exercise cd's so I could alternate programs.

Despite the silly "Mind Over Platter" moniker, I heartily recommend "Weight Loss With Hypnosis" to everyone struggling with overweight.It really is the best and most effective I've found.

Valeo Body Ball (75 cm) Review

Valeo Body Ball
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The 75cm Valeo Body Ball ("burst resistant" per the box) performed faithfully for seven months until it ruptured yesterday. I am 6'4", 200# and was prone using two 10# dumbbells when it burst beneath me and dropped me face first on the smooth concrete floor. The tear was nearly fully circumferential around the middle of the ball. Fortunately, I only had a couple of small abrasions. The ball had no previous damage, leak or or other warning sign of weakness or impending failure. It was replaced with a more expensive, stronger ball that is now used with a thick foam exercise mat underneath.

80's Blast Off Review

As in his other videos, he hardly cues any of the moves, so you'd have to decide if you're ok with just following along a few times before picking up all the moves.This video is more vigorous then some of his others, I definitly worked up a sweat!I thought it was alot of fun, there were times when I couldn't stop smiling and actually LOL when we do the "fast runs" in Maniac and when we "honk" in Freeway of Love.
If you can stand Richard Simmons, like 80s music and need a workout, this is the one for you!

I have used this video for about 6 months now.The music is up beat and fun and the moves - easy to learn.I enjoy doing it (unlike almost every other workout I have done over the years) and don't feel "dead" by the time it is over.I do feel like I have worked out, however and I have lost about 1/2 of the weight I wanted to.My only complaint is that there is no DVD version.

Richard Simmons: Latin Blast-Off Review

Richard Simmons: Latin Blast-Off
Average Reviews:

I've been doing workout videos for years, so its not like I haven't had experience with these things.But this video is ridiculous.The eclectic and dizzying mix of moves from the first 10 minutes was enough for me to throw my hands up and laugh.I don't think they repeat a single move more than twice in this entire video.
They spent way too much time designing fancy Latin backdrops, strobe lights & black&white disco cinematography.Not to mention the laughable scantily-clad Latin chicks that sit along the sidelines and whistle at those sweating and rump-shaking in the video.A little more time needed to be spent designing a routine that was actually feasible to accomplish.If you're looking for a GOOD Richard Simmons tape, I'd recommend the Mega-Mix Blastoff.It's a lot easier to follow and a LOT less cornball.But if you're looking for a good laugh, pick this up today!
