Customer Reviews

Powersculpt with exercise ball.

This is a great book- the illustrations are very helpful and it is easy to follow.

Great workout!

I found this book to be a comprehensive, complete workout. I like the fact included is flexibility, balance as well as strengthening and toning. The pictures accompanying the exercises are well illustrated and match the description perfectly. I also really liked the variation options and pro tips. I would highly recommend this to my clients and those needing a comprehensive, safe routine at home. Very well done.

Fantastic and thorough intro

I love this book. Most of my clients were hesitant to try the Swiss ball, but with the help of Mr. Frediani's book, I was able to convince them. Since then, we use the ball every workout, sometimes the entire workout! Several of my clients even bought their own balls and referred their friends to me. I particularly like the stretching and balancing. And I've found that the core and stabilizing exercises work well with Pilates based ab work and yoga.

Great book.

This book contains a large variety of innovative and effective weights-on-the-ball exercises, some that I have not seen elsewhere. This is a great book in every way, except.... my only complaint is that the 4 routines at the back of the book list the exercises by name, but do not give a thumb-nail picture to remind you of what it is, nor is a page number given. This is a real drawback, in my opinion, because who wants to search through the book to find the exercises while you are working out? That is why I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5. The book Weights on the Ball Workbook, by Steven Stiefel, gives very nice concise routines with little pictures and the page number, which makes working out according to the recommended routines stress-free (no flipping through the book in search of the exercise). I own both books and like them both. Weights on the Ball Workbook wins on the routine layout, and Powersculpt has a wider variety of exercises to relieve boredom. If you can afford it, get both books.

PowerScuplt rules

As a personal trainer I thought I knew it all when it came to working out. After going throught this book I was intoduced to some of the most effective exercises I've ever tried. Now I've incorporated these exercises into everyone of my clients workout routines. I ran out and bought the PowerSculpt For Men as well.
