Book Description
One of America's elite trainers brings us an exciting, effective personal fitness approach that promises—and delivers—wonderful results.
The innovative Power Sculpt program provides a fun, full-body workout and combines the best elements of strength training, body sculpting, flexibility and core conditioning. The Power Sculpt workout utilizes easy-to-find equipment including swiss balls, light weights, and strength bands, common to most gyms and ideal for home workouts.The body's "core" muscles are the abdominal, back and hip muscles that stabilize the spine and form the center of power and stability for the entire body. Building a strong core improves balance, prevents back injury, makes movement more efficient and can even help the respiratory system.
Using the simplest equipment and the most effective exercises, Power Sculpt is the perfect workout for those who want to be stronger, have more energy, and feel healthier in every aspect of their lives. 100 b/w photos.

Great way to add core challenge to regular workouts,
By kelly rossiter (Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Powersculpt: The Women's Body Sculpting & Weight Training Workout Using the Exercise Ball (Paperback)
The format is easy to follow with detauiled discriptions of each move and well presented photos. Shows how to take common,everyday exercises and do them on the ball which makes them difficult and more effective b/c u have to balance. I own many ball videos and books and this is the best book so far-only complaint is I wish the photos were colour.Book shows a great,time efficient, fun workout that can easily be modified for advanced-just increase weight or take one foot of the floor-a wortwhile addition to any fitness collection!!

A great total body experience!!,

This review is from: Powersculpt: The Women's Body Sculpting & Weight Training Workout Using the Exercise Ball (Paperback)
Body Sculpt has given me more tools for my at-home workouts. I occasionally use the exercises at the gym and some of my friends are amazed at what can be accomplished with the fitness ball.This book has great photos and personal training tips to build up your "core" which gets you motivated to try the advanced balance poses and exercises. If you have a fitness ball and love it, you must get this book. It will re-motivate and amaze you. The results are great and the satisfaction that you can achieve an advanced state is even better.

Powersculpt- Not just for women,
By Ed Hackie (Las Vegas, NV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Powersculpt: The Women's Body Sculpting & Weight Training Workout Using the Exercise Ball (Paperback)
A wonderful book on swiss ball exercises that compliments and is the third supporting leg of a total workout when combined with weight training and aerobics. The exercises look easy but the effort involved is a challenging workout that is very satisfying. This book is not just for women!!! I enjoyed this book and use it daily along with variations from Paul Fredian's other book Surf Flex. I am 56 years old and these exercises have improved my indurance, strength and flexibility.
