There's no doubt that that adding an exercise ball to your routine will perk it up, but--depending on your sense of balance--it may also land you on the floor. Instructor Keli Roberts and her two able assistants make no such descents, but beginners are bound to wobble, which Roberts acknowledges with reassuring frequency. The three 10-minute workouts can be done individually or combined since they focus on different areas. Round 1 concentrates on the lower body with squats while holding the ball, balancing on it for a variation of the yoga bridge and squeezing it with the upper thighs. Workout 2 tones the arms and back by lifting dumbbells while sitting or leaning on the ball and using it for pushups. The final routine is specifically for the abs: sit-ups, curls, yoga's plank and downward dog, and Pilate's scissors--all atop the ball. Weights are recommended for the second routine. --Kimberly Heinrichs

 stable on the ball February 10, 2008
Great workout video...break it down into the 10 minute segments or do it all at once. Easy to follow and fun to do!
Best Ball Workout November 3, 2006

I've tried several ball workouts, and this is by far the best. Keli Roberts leads all three sections (lower body; upper body; abs & back). Quick Fix NEVER includes warm up or cool down, but Keli at least tries to warm up your shoulders a bit before doing weights. (I always do a half hour of aerobics first to be safe.) There is one person who does the easier option, so it is fine for beginners to advanced exercisers. You will need light and heavier weights for the upper body segment. Otherwise, it's just the ball (and mat--you'll be on your knees for some moves). Unlike several other ball workouts I've tried, this one actually makes you work hard. You'll improve your "core" strength, as well as do some serious work on every muscle group in your entire body. As usual, Keli is enjoyable and leads a solid workout.
 The Anti-Depressant! July 13, 2004

I've been using this DVD for about three weeks now, when I don't feel like biking or walking, and I highly recommend it for people who have maybe had a little Pilates/yoga/weight work instruction and just want to come at it all from a different perspective. Make no mistake: Being on a ball doesn't make it easier! It makes you 'get real' about your posture and etc. Your muscles will bark back at you, especially on the lower body segment, but you'll feel pleased and proud when you complete it. The instructions are compassionate; the 'instructresses' are cheery and motivating. The background music doesn't sound like something from a (...) movie. And it's all over in a half-hour! If nothing else, this video will coax you out of a bad mood -- and maybe, after time, into a smaller pair of pants!

I own four Quick Fix DVD's and three are on regular rotation for my workouts (except the Yoga/Pilates, which stinks). This is a great workout that ensures I'll be sore the next day!

Great DVD, highly recommend it. If you can't get away to a gym to workout, this is a great alternative, inexpensive, low tech, very doable for a middleage woman trying to get back in shape. I can do this on the basement floor while the kids play! The exercises offer two levels so if it's too hard you can do the easier version. Very pleasant leader, very encouraging, not a "fluff" or scantily clad kind of female but very atheletic and also middle age. I'm already noticing good results in 1 weeks use so give it a try!!!
