I want to point out that we bought the kit because my husband is recovering from back surgery and his doctor recommended Pilates to build up his core strength. He can do these exercises right along with me and he is noticing improvement, too. Both routines are easy to follow and you do each exercise to the point of what is comfortable not to the point of strain or exertion. We are both very happy with it. Also, the peanut shape ball is very comfortable to work with. It comes with a air pump but we don't have to use that very often. We bought 2 kits so we can workout together. I really do recommended this kit to anyone who wants to improve their core strength and balance.
It just makes my whole day feel inspiring after I use it, so I truly can't recommend it enough.
I say buy this product and give it a chance. Go beyond thinking of it as another mundane workout tool. It is a healing facilitator! Use it to find creative ways to connect the individualities of your body, and I think you will be very pleased with this!
The Pro's - it is well constructed, easy to set up, does not take up a lot of space and comes with an instructional dvd.
The Con's - I find the medium sized standard balls to be a much better work out and suited for way more.
In summary, my friend who is not as physically toned as I am really enjoys it and feels like it helps keep her stable during certain routines. (I gave it to her since she enjoyed it more then I.) Just like every piece of equipment, every one enjoys different things. Since the price is so reasonable, if you think you may like it, give it a shot. You can always package it back up & regift it if you do not care for it. ^_^
Giving this a 4 out of 5 only because it wasn't what I was looking for. My friend gives it a 5 out of 5.
