 Uneasy start, but it got better and better Mar 31, 2008
By CVK
"CVK"
At first I wasn't so sure about my purchase, but I watched the little video and it looked really good. I like the instructor and that the workout was filmed outside (it's a nice change of scenery compared to my other workout dvds, which were all filmed indoors). The workout has a "relaxed" feel, the music is really nice and the instructor is somewhat quiet, but the workout itself is not relaxed! I like that about it. I did the whole workout - but you can also do it in segments of upper body, lower body and abs and I really feel like a got a good whole body workout.
I like to keep my workout interesting, and the disc and resistance cord (and the whole dvd in general) are different from your usual weights and cardio.
I struggled at first with inflating the disc, I wasn't sure how much air I needed, and during the workout I had to adjust the air, when I noticed that my disc wasn't inflated enough.
If you want something "different", and not your usual cardio + weights, this is definitely it. The dvd makes me feel like I want to go outside and exercise in the fresh air now.

This has become one of my favorites, I just love Tanja!!!!!
I am going to buy more of her workout dvds (I already bought the balance ball workout).

 good for rehab Jul 21, 2009
By T. Ricard
I went to a physical therapist who also does athletic training to get recommendations for exercise that would work with my spinal issues. I've got c5-c7 fused and also have an occasional lower back flare up. He gave me some things to avoid (including sit-ups/crunches) and stipulated that building my core was key. He had a Bosu ball that he recommended and that is $100 or so. I found this kit at Target and figured I could always return it. I did it on Saturday for about a 1/2 hour and am still feeling tight today. I couldn't believe how much it worked my abs without it seeming to be abdominal work. I agree though that Gaiam should have provided better instruction about the amount of air to fill the ball to.

Keeps it Interesting May 30, 2008
By Croaker Norge
kudos to tanja (and gaiam) for another great workout. as an intermediate exerciser and a newbie to the stability disk, i was suprised at how little trouble I had using it. dont' get me wrong, i had a few weebles and wobbles but i was able to keep up on the first go. the scenery is beautiful, the instructor and students are "normal", and the workouts are fabulous. (3) 20 minute workouts - upper/lower/abs. also included in this set is a resistence cord. this is always in my weekly rotation of workouts!

 DVD is great, disc is not so much Aug 12, 2010
By Lisa Russo
I love the DVD, you definitely get a workout, but i don't like the blow-up disc, at all. it's hard to inflate, you don't know how much or little air to add to it, & it seems that by the end of the workout all the air has escaped the disc (maybe that says more about how big my butt is rather than the poor quality of the equipment?)
the band is OK, i like that i can tighten it up if i need more resistance.
i am keeping the set just for the DVD, Tanya is a great instructor, her cues are impeccable & i feel like i worked out by the end of the 3 sets.

Great workout tool Jan 17, 2010
By Debra L. Lund
This is a great workout tool to keep in your living room. I use it just to practice my balance or to get a quick leg or ab workout while I watch tv. The DVD is pretty good too when added to a cardio workout. Would highly recommend this product.
