Time graph for 10 Minute Solution Pilates on the Ball
You’ll use a stability ball to enhance the effectiveness of each 10-minute segment: upper body, lower body, abs, total body and stretch. The ball becomes a fluid and natural part of every movement — boosting resistance, increasing range of motion or adding a balance element. Each non-stop segment includes a wide range of body-part-specific exercises (i.e. the abs section is totally abs-focused). Lara Hudson’s one-on-one teaching features smooth transitions and a quiet intensity. Note: The DVD is completely customizeable — you can program it to play the sections in any order. Requires a stability ball. ©2007. DVD has: Programmable chapters, Close captions.

10 Minute Solution Pilates on the Ball

Great instruction
I really enjoy Lara Hudson's workouts. She is a very good instructor. The pilates workout is challenging for me and I am at an inter/advanced level. I particularly like the abs and stretching section of this workout. - posted by Jane on 10/10/2009
I'm a fan.
I enjoyed this workout because, like Lara Hudson's other videos, it's just the right level of challenge. The moves are interesting enough to begin with, but she often adds a twist (sometimes literally!) after a few reps to provide a greater challenge. This one really tested my balance, and I enjoyed using the ball. Plus, it made me feel long and lean. I only wish that it were easier to look at the tv while doing the exercises so you don't have to strain your neck. Overall, best workout video I've seen in a long time. - posted by Laura on 4/16/2009
not int/advanced video
i really liked the instructor, she explained really well, but the fact is, i found the segment too easy, it should be rated at the most inter, when you have only 10 minutes it should be harder to get the most of your 10 minutes, and i'm not certainly an advanced pilates expert, but i really prefered the 10 minutes workout with suzanne bowens, but if you want to start, this is a good one for you, some of the move were a little bit hard, but you could always make it a little easier, but i'm sure going to try other dvd from lara - posted by annie on 3/28/2009
Excellent!
This is an excellent DVD. Lara Hudson has developed an effective routine with creative moves based on Pilates; the exercises don't feel contrived at all. As other reviewers have noted, this is one of those workouts that sneaks up on you - you may not feel like you're doing much at the time, but it's a different story afterwards! The "Flexibility" segment is particularly good, and makes a nice stretch routine after other workouts. Like the other "10 Minute Solutions" DVDs, this one is fully programmable which is always a bonus. - posted by RedPanda on 2/27/2009
Enjoyable and energizing
Lara is a delightful instructor; she explains and demonstrates the moves really clearly. I am at inter/advanced level: some of the exercises are initially quite difficult, and though there are not a lot of reps, after doing the dvd a few times, you get to know them. This dvd is enjoyable for everyone not only Pilates lovers, and the ball adds a lot of interest and variety, as well as requiring that extra effort for stability. The abs and stretching sections are particularly good. - posted by Marion on 1/18/2009
The first pilates I can actually say I love
Lara Hudson is a great instructor and this pilates workout is fun. It is a little advanced for a fairly pilates newbie like me but I am growing with it and I have already seen quite a bit of toning in my abs. I have been doing this 2 to 3 times a week for about a month now and I still look forward to doing it. - posted by Chris on 10/24/2008
Just OK
Although I liked this instructor very much, I didn't care for the arms section of this video...it hurt my wrists. I love working out with the stability ball, but maybe Pilates just isn't for me. I agree with earlier review that it was a bit slow. It's a good workout for a 'lazy' day. - posted by SC on 8/22/2008
Great workout
This has quickly become one of my favorite workouts. The instructor is excellent and the workout can be designed to be as short or long as you like it. I can feel the workout the next day. It's a keeper. - posted by Tipi on 8/17/2008
Great ball workout!
I'm getting over a serious back injury and when I can't do aerobics, I do Pilates. This doesn't feel like a tough workout until you're about halfway thru and realize you're getting beat. I Love It! It works you all over without straining your back and you know you've gotten a good workout when you're done. Even though I still can't do the roll-ups in the ab section, using the ball still gives you a workout. The instructor gives clear instructions and she keeps the workout moving. - posted by Shannon on 7/25/2008
Great for Beginners
I just received this video along with my ball. I had been away from "Pilates" for 2 years since having a baby. I find this video to be excellent for us "beginners" so to speak. It is challenging and Lara is a fabulous instructor, she eases you through the movements. I find using the ball to be a lot of fun and plan to keep at it! Great Buy! - posted by Angie on 7/17/2008

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
