Product Description

Adam Ford’s Swiss Ball Abs DVD will quickly increase your core strength and stability. This comprehensive core-conditioning program trains multiple muscle groups with functional integrated movements, incorporating your back and obliques as well as your abdominals. The three 20-minute workouts in Swiss Ball Abs will redefine your mid-section with cutting-edge exercises that precisely target your lower and deep abdominals.

Many people have done a few sloppy crunches on the Swiss ball but few have realized its full potential. Adam’s simple and safe 3-phase progression delivers remarkable results. You’ll enjoy increased functional strength, flexibility and balance through all three planes of motion. Whether just beginning or advanced, start Swiss Ball Abs now and get that ‘six-pack’! You’ll look great, and feel even better.

From the instructor: This is the second edition of my Swiss Ball Abs DVD. Most of the exercises are about the same as the first edition but the video footage and audio was totally redone when I produced my Swiss Ball Upper and Lower body DVDs. In response to customer’s feedback the second edition features better navigation and contains additional content like an FAQ section on sets, reps, etc. Thanks to everyone for your comments on the first edition!

If you have a Swiss Ball and you don't have this DVD then you are not getting everything that you can out of your ball. This is an excellent training DVD if you want to maximize your fitness conditioning and increase your functional strength, suppleness, agility and coordination. The 3 training segments are each 20 minutes, not 10 minutes as another reviewer reported. The videography is excellent, clearly and simply showing each movement without any fancy fadeouts or quick switches. Each phase is more challenging. I would say that the phase 1 section can be done by most people of average fitness after a couple of weeks of practice. However at first you may need your remote to pause the DVD until you acquire the skill to transition into and out of some of the more challening postions. Let's face it, if you aren't at an average fitness level then you should be doing a different overal kind of training, not focusing on abs. Personally I am 56 years old and teach Holistic Nature Workouts professionally. I have shared the training methods in this DVD with several people already and they have all benefited tremendously from them and are now including them in their workouts. Have a ball!

A great, challenging DVD for everyone's core muscles!
I have been using Adam Ford's Abs dvd for about a month now 3 times a week. I do exercise quite a lot - I swim 3 times a week and am in the gym a further 3 times. Whilst that is great I was getting bored of my weights routine (which was given to me by a personal trainer who is an expert in body mechanics) and was really looking for something else to add in.

I found Adam's sample videos on YouTube so looked at his website and ordered the DVD. It arrived in less than a week (I am based in Cambridge, UK).

Phase 1 does have some basics moves but all challenge your core muscles
Phase 2 builds upon phase 1 exercises with some challenging exercises which I found made my stomach burn (in a good way!) but as my core gets stronger this will go away and even after a month I have noticed it is better
Phase 3 is more advanced again - I struggle to do the side kicks exercise

Whilst I think every gym in the world has swiss/core balls nobody has shown me how to effectively use it for my core like this DVD does. The workouts are 20 mins long including warm-up and cool-down and I found myself starting to sweat with phase 2 and 3.

Above all else these exercises are fun and can be done anywhere even if you travel for work or leisure you can take the ball with you. Also the 3 phases I feel provide enough variety to stop boredom which can be a problem with other routines.

I have always been quite lean but nothing has started to give me the shape on my abs as this DVD has. I am confident I am on my way to getting the elusive 6-pack that has eluded me for so long. Also the stretching is helping me with my flexibility.

I would recommend this to anyone wanting better core muscles and definition.

Excellent advanced workout!
This is not a beginner's workout! If you are an experienced exerciser, look no further. There are 3 ten minute swiss ball workouts which work the entire midesection with non-traditional and challenging moves. This is not your typical ball workout, nor is it for those who can't balance on a ball. If you are looking to slim your core and have decent abdominal strength this will balance your trunk. I plan to buy more videos from this series today!
