Ultimate Core Ball Workout: Strengthening and Sculpting Exercises with Over 200 Step-by-Step Photos

I knew little about training with a physio ball -- and I'm glad I got this book. The exercises in here are useful and they are suitable for all levels of fitness. They are organized in ways that make it easy to create your own routine. I've photocopied pages and taken them to the gym and shared them with others who were equally delighted with the book (and I hope they bought it, too!).

I am a certified group fitness instructor. I purchased this book in order to prepare to teach a weekly one-hour exercise ball class. This book is excellent because it offers information about progression (the order in which to perform specific exercises). It also offers suggestions for "5-minute total core blasts," if you have limited time on a particular day. The descriptions and photos provide all of the details you need to get started...and get a great core workout. I definitely recommend this book.

Forget everything you THOUGHT you knew about core training: this book will blow you away. No gimmicks, no empty promises, no cheats. Just an ON THE BALL workout for those of you who are serious about getting in shape. In an area where precious few GREAT books have been written (with all due respect to Colleen Craig and James Milligan), I finally have something to recommend to my clients. A familiar face to those of us in the fitness industry, Ms. Detz FINALLY brings some of the best kept secrets in pliometrics to the masses. Ultimate Core Ball Workout will send your body into the stratosphere and personal trainers to the unemployment line.

If you're looking for a hardCORE workout, this is definitely the one for you. Ms. Detz does a masterful job of establishing an easy to follow, well organized guide to strengthening abs, and toning your core from top to bottom, and oblique to oblique.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Detz in person at her last book signing, and I can tell you that she's the real deal, and this book is her forumula for success! This is not one of those books whipped out by some writer with no first hand knowledge of the exercises they teach. Ms. Detz is a fitness guru who practices what she preaches and more. Every one of these exercises has been tested in the field and proven to work! If you are serious about your abs, this is the book to get!
