Two workouts: a solid dumbbell program and a short-but-tough stability ball routine. The dumbbell workout features both multiple and isolated muscle-group exercises. You'll build lean muscle to raise your metabolism as you increase functional strength; to make everyday activities easier. With three distinct sections - lower body, upper body and abs - you can do the entire program or just target your own problem areas.
Besides the multiple and isolated muscle variety, Kathy adds interest with lots of tempo changes and weight-level options. The inter/advan-level stability ball program is a fast-moving series of sometimes challenging ball exercises (e.g. lifting the center of your body with your feet balancing on the ball and your hands on the ground). Throughout, Kathy's always-friendly instruction is very clear, with easy-to-understand imagery (e.g. imagine you're hugging a tree ...). Several sets of dumbbells are suggested for maximum effectiveness (e.g. 2, 5 and 10 lbs.). ©2003.
