| Effective, introduction video for those new to "The Ball." It's an odd mix of good and bad in this starter video. The instructor's voice-overs properly cue the exerciser and we can easily see and understand her movements. However, the kit states "40 minutes" yet really yields a max of 30 minutes. This includes a lot of stretching and concentration-intensive moves. The background settings are breath-taking but are ruined by horrible, tinny music which I found distracting, at best. The video includes no instructions as to the care or preparation for the equipment. This is especially a bad decision since there's no pamphlet inside. Granted, one can figure it out but I was surprised at this oversight. This video was set up to whet the appetite of the viewer. There's info at the end on how to order the full series of 3 videos: lower body, abs and upper body. It is pleasant and varied enough to follow a few times however, I suggest muting the volume after you've developed an understanding of usage. |
