Like all the "...For Dummies" books, Exercise Balls for Dummies is concise, easy to read and easy to follow. Chabut gets right to the point and demonstrates the use of the balls so that even a clutz like me can use them! Using excersie balls makes you feel more like a kid at play than a middle-aged person battling the bulge! Thanks for a great new way to stay fit.
