Question Stability Ball Workouts

Can anyone recommend any workout DVDs using a stability ball? I've tried using printed instructions and workout routines from books, but they don't give me enough motivation to keep it up. I need something more guided.

The selection at local stores seems pretty limited, but looking online has me confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here are a couple geared towards trainers:

http://www.power-systems.com/nav/clo...?c=Srch&g=1768

The last one is volume 1 of a 2 volume series. They are excellent and really contain EVERYTHING you could possibly do on a stability ball.

There are also a lot of stability ball workouts at
http://www.collagevideo.com

You can see descriptions, reviews, and 30-60 second previews from the videos. They also list the length of the videos, and if they are for beginners, intermediates, and advanced!

Default How about this one?

I got pretty confused too when I looked on Amazon (I always also look at the collage website it is fantasic

For me I am lost without a video or DVD while working out. I finally decided on Quick Fix Stability Ball work out I really like it the whole tape is 30 min but it has 3 10 minute sections one for stomach, legs and a work out with weights for arms. Today I did the the arms and stomach workout at 5:30am
I quite liked it.

Goodluck!

Thanks for the suggestions! I found the "For Dummies" stability ball DVD on a good clearance price, so I bought that just so I'd have SOMEthing. I'm not out much if it isn't any good, but I'll definately pursue the others

The Dummie series videos are good for beginners actually, because they really explain the exercises and proper form to use-they have videos for the ball, yoga, Pilates, and strength training.
They go slow-but they really explain things well, and sometimes that is what you need if you are not in a gym or with a trainer-and don't have anyone to explain things properly to you.

Aphil, I agree, I have the fitness ball workout for dummies and it really helped me to see how to really use my ball.
