Time graph for Patrick Goudeau's Play Ball
A creative, playful workout that incorporates a medicine ball into every aero/tone interval. The ball boosts the intensity of the cardio while it adds resistance to the toning. The athletic-style aerobic drills are exceptionally diverse — from basketball shuffles and rocking horses to triple steps and cardio lunges. The toning maintains the sports theme with a medley of varied multi-muscle exercises (e.g. “bowling lunges” that work your upper and lower body at the same time). Even the ending floorwork utilizes the ball (e.g. push-ups with one hand on the ball). As usual, Patrick’s humorous, fun-loving style is energizing and inspirational. Requires a medicine ball. ©2008.

Patrick Goudeau's Play Ball

This is FUN!
Did this for the first time this morning, and what a blast! Great workout, the cueing is very good, and there's enough repetition to allow you to catch on quickly, but not get bored. Patrick is upbeat and fun as always. Some very challenging balance moves, and a few spots where you'll need to be careful of your knees if you have problems, but over all, a fun and effective 30 minute workout. - posted by Leslie on 8/24/2009
Patrick does it again!!!
I just did this workout for the first time today. Wanted to incorporate something new with different equipment. This is awesome and tough in a short period of time. This workout incorporates simple but effective cardio with compound strength moves which also involve balancing. Combined with Patrick's great cueing, reminders,and great personality, this is a winner! Love it! - posted by Jill Sherry on 2/19/2009
Glad I gave this one a second chance!
The first time I did this workout I used a 4# medicine ball. It was difficult to hold the ball in my palm for certain moves, not too heavy just awkward. I tried it again using a 6# sculpting ball which although heavier is smaller in size, softer thus easier to hold. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is fast paced and fun. a great functional fitness workout, lots of balancing,cardio, sculpting jam packed into less than 30 minutes. Not as dancey as most of Patrick's which is a good thing for me as I dislike dancey workouts but I love Patrick! - posted by jf on 1/10/2009
THIS is a ball workout!
This workout is dynamic, challenging, and compact. Patrick is, as always, entertaining and the choreograpy is, as always, inventive and easy to follow. The two workout partners--excellent. A great, great workout in a short amount of time. Bravo! - posted by Joy on 1/8/2009
Fun stuff
This was my first med ball workout, and it was fun! I have two left feet, and was able to pick up all of the moves the first time through. It's great for when you're short on time, or want an add-on. - posted by N on 12/28/2008
A hour workout compacted into 30 intense minutes
I love this workout. If you're pressed for time, this one is it. If you want one hour workout results in 30 minutes, then do this workout. Not one minute of this workout is wasted, and you don't need a lot of room. Be prepared to sweat, and work those buns. Patrick's the best. - posted by Genia on 12/27/2008
Finally; a great med ball workout.
I LOVE this! I agree that it could have been a little longer, but it is perfect for days I don't have much time or I just want to extend my cardio routine with some effective strength training. I have eight- and five-pound med balls, but I've purchased a six-pound ball. The eight-pounder was too difficult/heavy for some of the quicker moves (basketball), and my five pound ball felt too light in some instances. This is a wonderful addition to my collection. - posted by Anita on 12/2/2008
I had a ball doing this workout!
Patrick obviously had requests for shorter, more basic workouts. He has consistently made mainly intermediate/advanced to advanced workouts. Most instructors make workouts for all levels. I say way to go Patrick! I on an advanced level and simply did two workouts. This workout was still tough to be called intermediate. i would give it an intermediate/advanced rating, not to mention the enjoyment factor. Patrick, you did it again! I look forward to the advanced version of this workout. - posted by Suri on 11/28/2008
fantastic!
This is my first Patrick Goudeau workout. I was drenched by the time the workout was over. It felt like 2 workouts in one. The warm-up (if it's even one) was tough, but after that everything glides. I love the fact that the moves are intense and simple, but also fun. Not all the dancy stuff. Some days you just can't remember dance steps. This is perfect for having fun and getting a more than solid workout. If this is any indication of Patrick's videos, I will be buying more in the future. - posted by lulu on 11/21/2008
play ball patrick goudeau
I am an instructor and in excellent shape therefore I need a challenge patrick goudeau did not disappoint. I loved this dvd it was fun and challenging. The only thing that bothered me was that it was too short. I felt he could have made it a little longer that is why I gave four stars. - posted by mary on 11/13/2008

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.
sample time graph
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.
sample time graph
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
