Instructor Kimberly Spreen has developed 5 distinctive, ultra-effective Fitness Ball workouts, each one specially designed to tighten and tone your body. And the real secret of the ball is that it works your midsection without you even knowing it. Just by maintaining balance on the ball, you constantly activate your core muscles—so all the workouts will help give you leaner, flatter abs.

This has been one of my favorite workout video purchases. The dvd is broken into 5 ten minute sections, and I love that I can program it to play the segments in the order that I want, and I can do 1, 2, 3, 4, or all 5. Kimberly is upbeat but not too perky and annoying.

You would think that using the fitness ball that it would be an easy workout, but it is not. I can feel the burn in my muscles in all the segments, and my heart rate pumping in the cardio section. One of the advantages to this workout is that it is intense but still easy on the joints. I have lupus so I need something that doesn't stress my joints and the ball really reduced the impact on my joints, while still working my muscles. My sister and I do the dvd together and we both break out into a sweat and are breathing hard by the end.

I do recommend getting a fitness ball that is really stiff. If your ball is too soft, or squishy, some of the moves will be impossible to perform.
