Certified instructor description: 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

Great Workout!
I love this workout! The ball makes all of the pilates moves so much more challenging it's great. I did not have much experience using the pilates ball so keeping the ball in place is a challenge in itself. Totally worth it, my tummy is looking flatter than ever! - posted by Heather on 4/11/2012
Quick Challenging 10 Minute Workouts
Deceivingly easy moves that actually do challenge your body. Likeable, pleasant instructor. My stability ball was alittle larger than the one used by the instructor. This caused the ball to roll away on some of the side moves. Maybe because I am shorter, as well. Otherwise good video. - posted by Sandy on 2/26/2012
Not very challenging
I don't think this video deserves to be rated Intermediate/Advanced, it does not seem challenging to me at all. Good for light days as an extra workout, but that's about it. - posted by Vicky on 12/22/2011
Great toning with no impact on troublesome joints
This workout feels very good on easy, no cardio, no weight days. I try to make sure to fit it in as it is challenging but gives my knees and other troublesome joints a rest. I truly feel stronger and energized after the workout, though I have to admit I barely break a sweat. Regardless, I am very challenged by the workout throughout each of the segments and feel good afterwards. Glad I got it. - posted by Karee on 10/24/2011
Great Toning Workout
I'm an advanced exerciser who is unable to due ANY type of cardio or toning that requires me to stand (due to a recent injury), so it's extremely challenging to find any type of workout to accommodate my fitness level during my recuperation. I was very pleasantly surprised by this workout!!! It's not interval training or running, but your body is challenged in different, creative ways. I feel energized after this workout and my muscles definitely feel a change. I truly feel like this workout is helping me maintain my fitness level while I'm recovering from my injury, and I feel more toned than I did before my injury. Highly recommend this for a welcome, challenging change. - posted by Debbie on 7/14/2011
Nice change
I enjoy the ball work out as a change from regular Pilates. It definitely gets some different muscles working! - posted by Linda on 6/24/2011
Creative Ball/Pilates Workout
I've been doing Mari Winsor Pilates and I was really into the Core Secrets workouts for a long time (and I do enjoy both of those programs too). I am at an intermediate level and workout about 3-5 days a week. I am pleased with how this DVD combines the ball and Pilates programs. With the "Pilates on the Ball" DVD I was happy to find different, creative moves for the exercise ball. The workouts are challenging, but I was still able to keep up and not hurt myself! I have knee issues so I can't really do the heavy aerobic workouts anymore and really do enjoy the more gentle yet challenging approach of Pilates. The ten minute segments really work for my life, as I am a working mom who works 10-hour days and have two children under ten years old. It's nice to have an easy option to create a 10 minute, 30 minute or longer workout depending on how my day is going! The instructor is clear and friendly without being annoying. I definitely plan on investing in other 10 Minute Solution DVDs and/or workouts with Lara Hudson. - posted by Susan on 6/10/2011
Pretty Good
This workout actually is fairly difficult, but mostly because balancing on the ball is difficult. I don't like the instructor quite as much as Julie Benson, but the variety on this workout is pretty good. My main purpose for doing it is the work on balance and stabilizing muscles. - posted by Jenny on 5/19/2011
This one is a keeper
I am still somewhat of a beginner, so this is a bit difficult for me, but I can do most of the exercises, just maybe not completely correctly. I will keep doing them because I can feel my muscles getting toned and stronger. I suggest doing some of the beginner videos first, then progressing to this one. The different exercises are great and the stretching segment is worth the price by itself-great! - posted by Tessa on 4/3/2011
Loved it
This was my kind of DVD. I am truly a beginner and she is obviously an expert, but she took each exercise very slowly and described in detail the technique. Also, as a beginner to have 10 work outs that fit our stamina and level of expertise was great. I would recommend this to any beginner who wants to try the "stabilizer ball". - posted by Tom on 3/24/2011

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
sample time graph
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.
