I wasn't able to watch this video. I'll try to watch it later from another pc... - 5/7/2013 1:40:02 PM

For all the folks griping about the ads...simply add an Ad Blocker to your browser. I've used one for over a year on this site and I don't encounter any bothersome ads at all. Such a simple solution! - 4/1/2013 7:46:30 PM

Anyone have best place to purchase BOSU?? About how much they should cost??
Thanks!! Anything that trains your body balance is a good thing!!!
gmondello thanks you : ) - 3/23/2013 6:11:02 PM

This exercise segment is too advanced for me at this point but maybe some day! Meanwhile, on a free site, you have to expect commercials. It's the price to be paid. As someone once said, "Ain't nothin in life free." - 3/21/2013 9:29:09 PM

If you don't like the commercials, perhaps you would prefer a program that you pay to use so you don't have to watch them. While the commercial plays, I mute my computer and busy myself for a few seconds especially if I'm getting ready to "do" the exercise along witht the video. Thank you Chris, Coach Nicole and all the Spark folks for giving us this great opportunity. I personally have lost over 25 lbs putting me at my ultimate goal weight since October! I could never have done it without SP! You ROCK!! - 3/21/2013 8:55:43 PM

If you object to the commercial particularly on this one because the ratio of 30 seconds of advertising to 1-and-a-half minutes of video is too high, you might be missing the point.

The actual exercise is only about 3 seconds long to do one rep. That’s 1/10 of the commercial length! BUT the benefit of the video isn’t from *watching* it, it’s from *doing* the exercise. And if you can *do* it for more than a minute and a half, so much the better. - 3/21/2013 1:23:57 PM

Great exercise. I have balance issues so that might help strengthen my balance/confidenc
e and tone muscles at the same time! - 3/21/2013 1:23:50 PM

With the BOSU, can it be used the other way around...with the person standing on the flat side? That's how I typically use it - 3/21/2013 10:29:58 AM

i love this site and dont mind the ads. I"m on a limited income and cant afford extras if this site goes to a "pay" site. - 3/5/2013 7:30:39 AM

I'm glad she pointed out that it's not an exercise for beginners :)
Good video for me to say later... - 3/4/2013 6:42:39 PM

While it may be true that the ads assist the free aspect of spark, to me 30 secs for less than a minute or two show is a cheat. I simply skip if there is an ad and look for something more reasonable. Vote on this by not watching. - 2/19/2013 8:27:01 AM

nice,, i like that.! - 1/24/2013 9:51:04 PM

BILDUF: The ads that we are "subjected to" are what is keeping Sparkpeople.com free. Maybe someday, they will have a pay option to allow you to watch without ads.

I personally don't mind the ads, as it pays Chris and company to continually add free info to share with us. (Thank you Chris Downey!!)

Have a great day!!! - 1/24/2013 6:30:15 AM

These commercials that we are subjected to are a real distraction and turn off. Can we somehow opt-out of the commercial nonsense? - 1/21/2013 11:56:54 AM
