Patrick Goudeau's Play Ball |
  Not Challenging! |
| This is my second, and last, Patrick Goudeau DVD. It is basically a 20 minute warm-up. It is too short and too easy for anyone other than a beginner. If you want a quick, but more challenging med ball workout, try Gin Miller's. This one is already being sent back. - posted by Candace on 8/1/2010 |

| Tough Workout |
| I do like Patrick's energy and enthusiasm, however, the choreography is way beyond basic, and needs a demonstration of the move, or a slower approach to the complexities of some of the basketball moves. It takes practice to do a routine that requires throwing a weighted ball between your legs while doing more than basic aerobics. I would not recommend this for anyone looking for a low impact, basic choreographed workout. - posted by Joyce on 7/1/2010 |

| Fun, but not too challenging |
| Patrick is one of my favorites, but this video lacked the intensity, and some of the moves were very awkward. - posted by Bonnie on 6/19/2010 |

| Disappointing!! |
| In reading the reviews I feel as if I did a different workout than everyone else. I found there to be nothing challenging about this DVD! It is very short, which I knew before I purchased it, so I assumed it would be 30 minutes of intense cardio/toning, boy was I wrong. The so-called cardio is around 20 minutes, then it is onto an abs segment and a stretch. I wore my heart rate monitor and my heart rate never even came close to my target zone. Waste of time, I am sending it back. - posted by Traci on 6/12/2010 |

| sporty video |
| Low ceiling alert! Modification is needed if you have a low ceiling or if you are a woman using the same weight ball he uses (a woman's hand can't "palm" a 6-lb medicine ball like he does). The women in the background use a smaller and lighter ball than the instructor. The video style is very athletic and sport-like and got a sweat going even though it is only 30 min long. The instructor is upbeat and chatty. This video is definitely different than most that use a medicine ball. Not my normal style, but I'll probably reach for it when I'm short on time and need to get some cardio squeezed in. - posted by Linda on 6/3/2010 |

| Good 30 minute routine! |
| This workout caused a surprising sweat! I thought that because it was rated "Low Impact" that performing it would be like a day off for me. But not true. This low impact workout delivers! - posted by Judy on 4/29/2010 |

| Wow my aching arms! |
| I absolutely LOVE this video. As someone who spent years as a trainer and instructor, it is hard to find things that are innovative enough to make me want to come back for more. This workout is safe, effective, and TONS of fun! I plan to purchase more of his play ball workouts! - posted by Amy on 4/25/2010 |

| I've been waiting for this! |
| I kept thinking about getting one of Patrick's DVDs-but was always too intimidated by the Advanced rating-plus I don't have a good step-when I saw this I decided to go for it-because I do have the medicine balls already. And I love it! I really enjoy the music-I actually find myself singing it to myself after a workout-and I like his enthusiasm, and I like that I sweat in 30 minutes. I am really glad I have it. - posted by Arel on 4/22/2010 |

| Fun Work Out |
| I loved the sports moves, very fun. I hope Patrick adds more of these videos. - posted by TK on 4/3/2010 |

| Fun, effective workout! |
| I am a busy mom that works out from home. I love that this video is 30 minutes. I usually do kickboxing or bootcamp style dvds so I was looking for a change of pace. Patrick's dvd is fun and challenging at the same time. I wish he had more 30 minute workouts. - posted by Cynthea on 3/23/2010 |
