Get on the Ball: Develop a Strong, Lean and Toned Body with an Exercise Ball review:5 stars (I love this book!) - I am really loving this core workout. It shows alot of great workouts with differents ways to do them. They weren't all the same old same that i have seen in shape magazine. I do agree with others that the binding should be alittle nicer but if you are careful with it like i am, it won't fall apart. I also like the excersize routines at the end of the book. Made it easier to get going without taking the time to find a plan to work whatever muscles i wanted that day. There is a couple all body, a few core, few upper body, lower body and abs and backs. Also the pregnancy was good to know for the future. I think this has a good viarity for people with different skills all the way up to great physical fitness. I still find alot of excersizes challenging5 stars (A great book for ball resistance traing and stretching A+) - First let me preface that I have been working out on exercise balls for years and truly believe in them as exceptional fitness tools. Even advanced body builders are using the ball to improve core muscle structure and increase metabolism and flexability.
This book is exceptional in its approach. The selection of exercises encompass all training levels. Novices can immediately use the book and hard core, experience lifters can also strongly benefit. There are several very useful workouts at the end of the book which I would strongly recommend.
I only have two problems with the book.
1. The book itself will fall apart on you in the gym. I wish it were constructed a little better. At least it is not an expensive book.
2. There could have been more descriptive pictures in some of the more advanced, multi-move exercises. I had no problem understanding all of the moves but a beginner may become confused with some of the more complex maneuvers.
Other than that, this is a wonderful book. This is the one book to have when it comes to Ball training. 4 stars (Good content, needs better packaging) - I use Lisa Westlake's "Get on the Ball" as a complement to Liz Applegate's "Bounce Your Body Beautiful." There are exercises and general tips on ball mechanics that you can pull from both books to design a workout that works for you.
Ms. Westlake and her editors and designers gave a lot of intelligent thought to the layout of the book - the clarity and wisdom of the arrangement are very commendable, especially the categorization of the exercises, which is superior to any book of this ilk. There are sections entitled "Seated on the Ball," "Standing with the Ball," "Abs on the Ball," etc. You get the idea. It's brilliant in its simplicity. Similar books have been arranged with different categorization ideas in mind. None are as successful as Westlake's.
I also love the consistency and cleanliness with which each individual exercise is presented: two pages apiece, with sections detailing Starting Position, Action, Decrease the Challenge, Increase the Challenge, Trainer Tips, as well as a related stretch. There's also a nice duotone picture of the exercise. One small quibble - nicely pointed out by another reader here on these pages - is that there's only one picture of the exercise. Applegate's book (and others) give you two pictures, which really ought to be a requirement to give you an idea of the action of the exercise. One picture doesn't suffice.
My only true complaint - a constant theme with other readers - is one that Westlake had no say over: while the book looks great (it really stands out on the bookshelf) the binding won't withstand a lot of opening and closing and sweaty usage...which doesn't make sense at all, given that this is a book you'll want to refer to and toss around during your workout. Someone at the publisher should have given the packaging decision a little more thought.
