  • I am in a senior's (chair-based) exercise class. We sometimes use the ball in place of the chair. Great exercise training aid. I bought one to use at home. Inexpensive (under $20), best tool I have for home. - 2/9/2013 12:36:19 PM

  • Nicole, thank you. You gave options of difficulty to start at or to progress towards. Excellent pedagogy by example and voice. Your actions matched your words. I appreciated the emphasis on breathing. Plus you could exercise without losing your breath demonstrating for us to how far to go in our level of hardness to pursue. - 8/29/2012 4:53:05 PM
