fantastic with a couple flaws

I got this book because I needed something that I could do at home, since the demands of my job and the long commute have effectively eliminated my time to get to the gym. I made a really good choice in deciding to go with exercise ball training. It is more intense than anything I have done before, though people need to be aware that, in and of itself, this is not a weight-training/bodybuilding program. Combining it with a free weights program would be amazing, but don't expect to look like Rusty Joiner just doing these exercises and using 10lb dumbbells. I only have two issues with the book, one of which has been mentioned before:
1. There needs to be more photos/diagrams explaining the exercises other than just one monochromatic photo. Actually, a dvd companion would be the icing on the cake!
2. In the opening, they discuss everything about the accessories needed, how to inflate the ball, and needing to choose one that is the right size for your height...but NEVER actually tell you what sizes are for what heights. All it says is that your knees should be in a 90 degree angle when sitting on it. Unfortunately, these things usually come deflated in boxes, and I don't want to do the trial-and error method. While I am sure I can find it on Google or something, it would have been really nice if they had included a chart when they talked about inflating it...
Overall, it is a great book and program I would recommend. I was an athletic trainer years ago, and we used these things for rehab and balance training...it is nice to see them pushed out into the public sector in a professional manner. |
