Customer Review: B-A-L-A-N-C-E AND S-T-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
THIS IS A GREAT BOOK TO HAVE WHILE YOU WORK ON YOUR BALANCE AND STABILITY. THERE ARE COLORFUL PICTURES ON EVERY PAGE WHICH CLEARLY SHOW YOU HOW TO DO AN EXERCISE. FIRST, THE BOOK GIVES YOU FRONT (ANTERIOR) AND BACK (POSTERIOR) COLOR BODY DIAGRAMS. THIS HELPS A LOT WHEN YOU ARE WORKING ON SPECIFIC MUSCLE GROUPS.
THE AUTHORS OF THIS BOOK STATE YOU WILL NEED AN EXTREME BALANCE BOARD, BOSU BALL, A VERY SMALL BALANCE CUSHION (PERSONALLY, I THINK THIS IS A USELESS ITEM), AND A WOBBLE BOARD. IF YOU WANT TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS/EXAMPLES EXACTLY AS THEY ARE PRESENTED IN THIS BOOK, THEN YOU WILL NEED THE EQUIPMENT LISTED ABOVE (EXCEPT FOR THE WORTHLESS BALANCE CUSHION). HOWEVER, JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE EXERCISES WITHIN THIS BOOK CAN BE ACHIEVED BY USING A BOSU BALL AND AN EXERCISE BALL. NO OTHER EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED. SOME OF THE EXERCISES ARE VERY EASY, THEN THEY GRADUALLY INCREASE TO MORE DIFFICULT EXERCISES.
I am 5'7" AND A #65 EXERCISE BALL IS PERFECT FOR ME. IF YOU ARE SHORTER OR TALLER, THEN PURCHASE A EXCERCISE BALL WITH EITHER A SMALLER # OR LARGER #, RESPECTIVELY. ALSO, SMALLER EXERCISE BALLS HELP ME WITH PRACTICING EXERCISES WHICH ARE MORE DIFFUCULT. I'M NOT NEARLY AS CONCERNED WITH HURTING (FALLING OFF OF THE BALL) MYSELF WHILE LEARNING TO MASTER THE EXERCISES.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT BOOK, BECAUSE YOU DEFINITLY WILL GET MORE IDEAS ON HOW TO PRACTICE BOSU BALL EXCERCISES, AS WELL AS, INCREASING THE DIFFICULTY OF YOUR BOSU EXCERCISES.
***I SUGGEST YOU PURCHASE 'BALANCE TRAINING: STABILITY WORKOUTS FOR CORE STRENGTH AND A SCULPTED BODY' BEFORE YOU TRY TO TACKLE THE DIFFICULT EXERCISES SHOWN IN THIS BOOK.***
OTHER BOOK WHICH WILL HELP YOU IS: 'GET ON THE BALL'.
