Amazon.com Product Description An excellent addition to any Pilates workout, this unique Pilates Body Sculpting Workout Kit from Gaiam includes a six-inch sculpting ball and 33-minute instructional DVD. The ball can be incorporated into traditional Pilates exercises to enhance the use of the lower abdominal muscles and the inner and outer thighs, helping to tone and sculpt these areas quickly and effectively. Certified Pilates instructor Ana Cabán shows you how to use the 6" sculpting ball to flatten your abs (including those hard-to-isolate lower abdominal muscles), tone your hips, lift your butt and firm your thighs quickly and effectively in the full-length workout DVD.

Wonderful additoin to my at-home workouts! June 26, 2010 Regina C. Heacker (new york) I love this thing. I'm still learning about all the new ways to incorporate it into my at home pilates workouts- tons of info on poses and stretches online. After reading the reviews of many similar products (that said they were questionable quality and deflated quickkly) I'm glad I spent a few extra bucks on this ball. It's a quality brand and a great product. Thanks!
Excellent DVD June 21, 2010 Diana Solano Lopez (Costa Rica) This DVD is excellent but if you are a beginner in the pilates work buy another one before this, but it is awesome!
just OK. June 2, 2010 Laura J. Ladwig (lakewood oh) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The ball is much smaller than I thought it would be. The DVD is so fast paced that by the time you arrive in the positions the instructor is already out of them. The abrupt ending to the program is absolutely terrible... It is an OK work out, but I do not like the DVD.
Not worth the money February 4, 2010 CC (Canada) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This product is a joke - its not worth the money asked for - the DVD in the box did not contain enough and barely required the ball to do the exercises - I actually thought that I was purchasing a pilates squishy ball not a hard unweighted ball. I do not recommend the purchase of this product.
Disappointment January 1, 2010 Jeannine Otchis (Kihei Maui, Hawaii) 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
Although I am looking forward to utilizing this ball, the DVD was a BIG disappointment. Most of the exercises are contraindicated for anyone with degenerative disc disease in the cervicals and/or the lumbars and vertebral stenosis.
