Editorial Review

Description
Adam Ford's Swiss Ball Upper Body DVD utilizes the versatility and accessibility of the ball to deliver a potent upper body workout. The Swiss ball is widely used and appreciated for its effectiveness in core training. Now Adam has applied those proven principles and designed a fun, fast and effective upper body workout. These movements use the ball to leverage and pivot your own bodyweight without additional weights or machines for an incredible workout.

Swiss Ball Upper Body favors muscle integration over isolation promoting balance and flexibility. In addition to your chest, back, shoulders and arms, these efficient exercises also engage your core. The 3-phase progression offers a variety of intensity, appropriate for men and women of all abilities. Customize your workout even more with the recommendations and extra content on the DVD. Experience these simple convenient workouts that build real strength and stability through a full range of motion - not useless bulk. You'll feel great and be even stronger than you look.

From the instructor: As much as I enjoy traditional weightlifting exercises with barbells and dumbells I have to say that training your upper body with the ball is also highly effective. Targeting your upper body with the ball takes focus and concentration but results speak for themselves. Even if your goal is lifting heavy weight in exercises like the bench press my Swiss Ball Upper Body workouts will condition your important stabilizer muscles, encourage greater flexibility and help keep you injury free.

exercises look great
The exersizes look great but I do have a problem.

I am already in shape, I ordered this to add another dynamic to my workout, these workouts are challenging enough but the problem that I found is that when doing the workouts, it felt like my exercise ball was going to burst from my weight. Now I only weigh 180 pounds. Before buying this DVD, decide whether you think a exercise ball will support you doing a one armed push up on it. (thats one of the first exercises).

Great workout for your upper body
He does things with the ball I would never have thought of. There is quite a bit of pushups and balancing on your hands with the ball under your feet. He uses 2 balls in exercise 2, but you can do it with one. I think it's a great workout and I hope I get results.

Bland
I favor stability ball exercises because they challenge core balance. The consistent reviews about this product convinced me to buy this. I haven't used this DVD yet since I scanned what's in it. After all the hype and Adam Ford'ripped abs, I'm still waiting to strengthen my core so I can do the moves in his program. It doesn't look exciting but the being on the ball keeps me hanging on to this dvd.

I am giving in 3 stars because of the pricing (at 19.95)and the instruction is a lifeless voice over. I guess he has to do voice over to focus on the work out.

Challenging and Difficult
I bought all 3 of Adam Ford's DVD's and was amazed at all one can do with the Swiss Ball. I struggle each time because at 5ft 11, I think I maybe should have purchased the large ball, not the medium. I am in fairly good shape, but these videos are a real challenge for me. I sometimes have trouble doing the beginning exercises. and on the lower body one, I have the greatest challenge. Adam knows His stuff, but I wish he would take a bit more time to explain the positions. I tend to lack behind. He has a great physique, but toast has more of a personality. He is one bland dude.
