Time graph for 10 Minute Solution Pilates on the Ball

You’ll use a stability ball to enhance the effectiveness of each 10-minute segment: upper body, lower body, abs, total body and stretch. The ball becomes a fluid and natural part of every movement — boosting resistance, increasing range of motion or adding a balance element. Each non-stop segment includes a wide range of body-part-specific exercises (i.e. the abs section is totally abs-focused). Lara Hudson’s one-on-one teaching features smooth transitions and a quiet intensity. Note: The DVD is completely customizeable — you can program it to play the sections in any order. Requires a stability ball. ©2007. DVD has: Programmable chapters, Close captions.

10 Minute Solution Pilates on the Ball
The first pilates I can actually say I love
Lara Hudson is a great instructor and this pilates workout is fun. It is a little advanced for a fairly pilates newbie like me but I am growing with it and I have already seen quite a bit of toning in my abs. I have been doing this 2 to 3 times a week for about a month now and I still look forward to doing it. - posted by Chris on 10/24/2008

Just OK
Although I liked this instructor very much, I didn't care for the arms section of this video...it hurt my wrists. I love working out with the stability ball, but maybe Pilates just isn't for me. I agree with earlier review that it was a bit slow. It's a good workout for a 'lazy' day. - posted by SC on 8/22/2008

Great workout
This has quickly become one of my favorite workouts. The instructor is excellent and the workout can be designed to be as short or long as you like it. I can feel the workout the next day. It's a keeper. - posted by Tipi on 8/17/2008

Great ball workout!
I'm getting over a serious back injury and when I can't do aerobics, I do Pilates. This doesn't feel like a tough workout until you're about halfway thru and realize you're getting beat. I Love It! It works you all over without straining your back and you know you've gotten a good workout when you're done. Even though I still can't do the roll-ups in the ab section, using the ball still gives you a workout. The instructor gives clear instructions and she keeps the workout moving. - posted by Shannon on 7/25/2008

Great for Beginners
I just received this video along with my ball. I had been away from "Pilates" for 2 years since having a baby. I find this video to be excellent for us "beginners" so to speak. It is challenging and Lara is a fabulous instructor, she eases you through the movements. I find using the ball to be a lot of fun and plan to keep at it! Great Buy! - posted by Angie on 7/17/2008

Great Workout
I got this workout as I wanted to have a new pilates one. I was surprised at how tough some of these exercises were. It is not that easy to keep the ball still while maintaining form. I really like this routine and will work it in with my other weight and cardio ones. - posted by Karen on 6/18/2008

Boring
I am an advanced exerciser who works out 7 days a week, mostly cardio and weight training. I tried this workout for something a little different. It is just too slow for me. I work out early in the morning and this just didn't do anything to get me motivated. I do like this instructor and have enjoyed workouts from her in the past, but this one wasn't for me. - posted by Caryn on 5/27/2008

Creative Workout!
I was very skeptical about this work out, but now am so pleased! Lara Hudson's instruction and cuing are incredible. None of the movements felt contrived--the ball really was well utilized throughout. My only complaint is that you might want a few more reps to really feel your muscles working, but it is a 10 minute segment! Overall, great! - posted by Emilyjane...KY on 5/13/2008

Great Workout!!
Lara Hudson does a great job in this dvd! It's challenging, fun and has a nice stretch at the end. Her cueing is "right on" as usual. It's a well-rounded workout. - posted by Sandy on 5/13/2008

Excellent video!
I so totally agree with the previous writer and I thing she said it all. I just got the DVD and usually watch them all before actually doing the workout. I was very pleasantly surprised with the variety of moves and how it targets the major parts of the body. The instructor seems to be very good in keeping you with it, focusing on your form. I highly recommend this to anyone who really loves Pilates. I am going to use this one with my cardio days. Buy it! You won't regreat! - posted by Dalva-NYC on 5/10/2008

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
