Comments: I found this to be an excellent course. It gave great ideas for in-home training using only a medicine ball, resistance tubing and body weight exercises. The instructor did a great job explaining each exercise w/ many form pointers. The client in the dvd also did a great job demonstrating the exercises. It was filmed in the client's home which really put the program in it's proper context. I'd highly recommend it for someone wanting to learn more about in-home training.
