Looking for a simple and fairly easy workout to incorporate into your at-home fitness routine? The STOTT PILATES® Toning Ball Power Pack could be just the thing. It's easy to follow, the equipment (two weighted balls) takes up very little room, and it's just over half an hour long, so you can work it in easily.

When I say it's easy to follow, I mean that in a couple of ways. The instructions are clear and simple -- as was the case with the STOTT PILATES® Mini Flex Ball, there is someone demonstrating and someone instructing at all times, so you can watch or listen (in English or French, for that matter). The transition from one exercise to the next is quick but very manageable.

In fact, that's how I could describe the whole workout -- as very manageable, and I think it would be for any level of fitness. I received the Power Pack to review, which includes two one-pound toning balls. To be honest, if I had my choice, I would probably opt for a heavier weight for more of a challenge (and they do offer two- and three-pound toning balls separately, so that's definitely an option).

I enjoyed this as a fairly relaxing strength training Pilates-based workout -- usually, when I do strength or resistance training, there's loud music with a strong beat and my movements probably can't be described as "graceful." The DVD workout works each part of the body over the course of 33 exercises, and while I wasn't quite winded by the end, my muscles felt long and strong.

Through the end of December, STOTT PILATES® is offering 20 percent off their all-in-one Gift Packs, which could make it a great choice for that slightly-late-but-totally-thoughtful gift you've been meaning to buy your sister or roommate. Check them all out right here!
