Editorial Review:

Description:
Adam Ford’s Swiss Ball Abs DVD will quickly increase your core strength and stability. This comprehensive core-conditioning program trains multiple muscle groups with functional integrated movements, incorporating your back and obliques as well as your abdominals. The three 20-minute workouts in Swiss Ball Abs will redefine your mid-section with cutting-edge exercises that precisely target your lower and deep abdominals.

Many people have done a few sloppy crunches on the Swiss ball but few have realized its full potential. Adam’s simple and safe 3-phase progression delivers remarkable results. You’ll enjoy increased functional strength, flexibility and balance through all three planes of motion. Whether just beginning or advanced, start Swiss Ball Abs now and get that ‘six-pack’! You’ll look great, and feel even better.

From the instructor: This is the second edition of my Swiss Ball Abs DVD. Most of the exercises are about the same as the first edition but the video footage and audio was totally redone when I produced my Swiss Ball Upper and Lower body DVDs. In response to customer’s feedback the second edition features better navigation and contains additional content like an FAQ section on sets, reps, etc. Thanks to everyone for your comments on the first edition!

- I can see my stomach muscles!!!
I love this DVD. I love the challenges, the pacing, the variety, and the duration. And the more times you do it, the harder it gets because you can do the exercises more precisely and focus on better form. The music could be better (tho phase 3 isn't bad), but that's not what's important to me.

Granted, I have Swiss ball experience and my balance is pretty good. I've had personal trainers in the past, and have had years of yoga practice. I can see how beginners might have a hard time. Perhaps they could have a friend help them with their form, or just focus on doing a half version of the exercise at first (e.g., just hold push up position with toes on the ball, vs. also pulling the ball in toward your stomach and extending out).

- Poor Cuing and hasty Transitions
Three workouts; phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3

Cuing is poor and transitions too fast for a beginner. If you are a beginner and have never used a Swissball before expect some frustration. The video will be on the fourth repetition of the next exercise before you are ready to begin.

However, the angst caused by this will fade with practice and as you memorize the video which will render cuing unecessary

- GREAT WORKOUT
I have been looking for a step-up in my Ab program and this fit the bill. The pacing is so correct because it allows me to make SURE that my form AND my breathing are correct. I have been doing Jane Fonda Challenge and Denise Austin's Hit the Spot and Super Stomachs and some Tami oblique work with weights and needed a place to go. This one is it.

- Been using for 8 months
WOW! That's all I can say. I've been using this video for 8 months now and the results are astonishing. No my abs aren't as cut up as Adam's but my stomach is flat. More importantly I have so much more flexibility in my back. Leaning over the tub to wash my dog no longer hurts. I know that seems trivial but it's nice to know how all the little things seem easier now.

The strength and flexibility to my core has also enabled me to take on other workout regimes that would tire me out only half way thru. Yes using a swiss ball was really hard at first. It kept rolling out from underneath me and stabilization is definitely not my forte but believe me when I say, if you stick with it and really really try, you'll get amazing results.

I'm only 28 but everything around my mid ... Read More

- Hard but real results
This dvd had enabled me to get "cut abs" at 45! The key is to start slow. Do what you can and progress. As you progress you will build your strength. I found myself at phase 2 before long and have been there for almost 2 months My greatest criticism is that Adam doesn't tell you how to do the exercise. Watch the video and pause as you need to. Rewind if necessary. It might take a few tries until you "get it". For example, the "Reverse Crunches" in phase 2 took me 3-4 times before I got it right. Listen to what he tells you to do. Don't rush. You'll be very happy with the results.
