Movie Reviews of Cardio Balance Ball
Movie Review: Great Workouts!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually bought all 3 of Tanja's DVD's. Balance Ball, Total Body Cardio, and Cardio Balance Ball. I love these workouts! Her form is excellent and cueing is great. She's funny too and not annoying, most importantly she's motivating. These workouts are not super advanced which I am used to but you can make them advanced by adding light weights and really concentrating on tightening your core. These workouts are so refreshing, you'll do movements that you may not of tried before but are super effective and the one thing I noticed is that she is constantly challenging your balance and your core. This theme is throughout all 3 of the DVD's. The filming is excellent, no camping elevator music here. It is instrumental music but has enough of a beat to keep you motivated. The filming location is just absolutely breath taking. I don't know where these were filmed but think National Geographic gorgous back drop, not your usual studio background with fake plants. Overall I would have to say that this is a must have in anyone's fitness home DVD collection. I know I will come back to these time and time again. The price is such a great deal for such a thourough full body workout.Movie Review: Good and Simple--no hype
Summary: 5 Stars
My favorite thing about this is the tone. It's simple fitness, no more no less. There's no gimmicks, no outrageous claims, nothing. And the instructor is AWESOME. Very charismatic, but not cheesy at all.
The workout: the first time, I would have given this 4 stars. The funny thing is, like Pilates or anything that requres great control, it almost gets harder the better you do it. Some things that I thought weren't challenging are actually VERY challenging when done correctly, and you can always make it more challenging by simply moving your body an inch or so.
I would like to see more variety in the cardio section, however. The cardio is fine for now, but I feel like after a couple of weeks it will probably be both easy and boring. Each of the 3 cardio sections are the same, as well. It would be nice to have some variety in there.
But a great buy. I pondered about giving it 4 stars because of what I say above, but given the nature of a lot of these cheesy videos, and the instructor, I think 5 stars suits it better.
Movie Review: Great workout, great options
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an avid exercisor, but I'm new at using a stability ball. I'm also just getting back into regular exercise after having a baby four months ago. I love aerobics, but most of my aerobics DVDs are totally cardio, or mostly cardio and just a little strength training. This workout DVD is great because it offers cardio intervals that get your heart rate going while simultaneously toning muscles all over the body. The first time I did the workout I thought, "This is hard!" I don't mean hard to follow (it's really easy), but hard because it woke up a lot of muscles I hadn't used in a while! It's the good kind of hard that tells you you're doing something great for your body and spirit. This workout makes you feel good while doing it, and feel even better right after you finish.
The DVD has one main 50-minute workout (inclues warm-up, workout, and cool-down stretch), a 30-minute express workout, plus a 10-minute lower body cardio burn.
Movie Review: Part of my weekly routine
Summary: 5 Stars
I've recently gotten obsessed with toning up. I'm 5'5 and 110lbs, not overweight, but I really want to firm up. I've been trying out different fitness videos and this one is the one I always return to. I have a rotation of videos I'm trying out, but I like to do this one at least twice a week. Tanja is very encouraging, not overly peppy, and the pacing in the video feels just right.
It has a nice balance of cardio and toning. The combo of squats and lunges are great for the legs and I can actually feel the definition in muscles in my thighs after three weeks... My butt is looking much shapelier too :) I don't think the exercises for the arms and abs push me to my limit, but I'm tired and out of breath after the FIRST set of squats and lunges and sweat drips from my forehead by the time I'm done. This is one of my favorites and I am definitely going to check out more of Tanja Djelevic's DVDs.
Movie Review: Love Love Love!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this video! I have had my ball for awhile but didn't like the video it came with so I sought out something new... this is fantastic. I tried the 10 minute express lower body first - and was SORE for like 2 days. And I'm not totally out of shape... then I did the 50 minute 3 days ago and can still feel the results! I'm very impressed. It's fast paced - but paced just right for you to keep up even as a newbie. I like that she's enthusiastic but not bubbly and annoying. I also love that she shows you how to do each move JUST enough to get it... she doesn't talk down to you, she doesn't treat you like you're dumb, and she goes fast enough that you aren't getting bored with the pausing and explaining like in some videos, after you've done it many times and know what you're doing. It's the perfect balance, and I got a fantastic workout! I will be ordering more videos with Tanja!!!
