Book Overview

Weights are great for working the arms and upper body, and the exercise ball produces exceptional results in the core abs and lower body. With exercises suited for all skill levels, Weights on the Ball Workbook shows how to simultaneously use both pieces of equipment for the ultimate total-body workout.

A Total Resource

This book, though small, provides a very concise and necessary guide for anyone who wants to add variety to their strength training routines. Acquisition of these skills will eliminate the word 'routine!' There are so many options as each page includes a basic, intermediate, and advanced instruction for each exercise! Directions are simple and straight-forward and there are very few superfluous instructions. It is truly a "just the facts" guide.

Effective weight workouts

I'd searched high and low for a book of this nature, and this easy-read, easy-to-follow instruction piece fits the bill perfectly. There are several different workout formats to follow, all dependent upon your workout goals (i.e. weight loss, toning, muscle building, etc), and the individual exercises are pictured in several different stages of the select moves, as opposed to just one or two different views, leaving the reader having to "guess" how the rest of the move is supposed to be done. I use this book about three times a week (forty-five minute sessions) and on those days I also incorporate a couple of additional ball moves I'd found in other places, such as Denise Austin's "Sculpt Your Body With Balls and Bands" book, and also do about four or five days of elliptical for cardio. Overall, I am hoping to achieve some great results. This is absolutely terrific, and highly recommended!

Excellent source for using weights with the stability ball

This book is a great tool for working out with weights and the stability ball! It's really hard to find a dvd with work outs on the stability ball using weights. I'm not sure why one of the reviews said great color pictures, because it's all in black and white. However, it's easy to follow and shows you how to make the exercise more challenging each time. You can follow their plan or make up your own The daily routine of working out can become boring and monotonous at times. I like to mix it up with different videos and different work outs. I've been following the "Body For Life" work out eating and exercise plan for years now. It's really taught me how to eat properly and what to eat. It also includes working out with weights and aerobic exercise. Now, I've added the stability ball with the weights and I'm even getting a better more well rounded work out. Buy this book if you are looking for great work out ideas using the stability ball and weights. Also consider this book if your looking to spice up your present work out routine.

Excellent

The Editorial Review is real, the content is comprehensive, informative, clearly presented, various workouts for different ability/goals. All it needs now is a companion CD.

Just what I was looking for.

Ulysses Press has done it again - another top-quality exercise book. Lay-flat binding for ease of use, well organized, well presented, informative, with excellent workouts, clear exercise explanations, packed with photos. If you want to do weight workouts on the swiss ball, this is the book for you. I am VERY pleased with this book and will get much use out of it.
