Book Reviews of The Portable Miracle Ball Method
Book Review: The rubber balls smell like formaldehyde
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this product, based on all the positive customer reviews. I liked the book, but I cant use the balls for more than 2 minutes before the noxious chemical smell overwhelms my olfactory system and I tense up even more. Now I understand that new rubber balls and other new items have a distinct new oder and that after a few weeks the smell will go away. I have had these balls on the balcony for 6 months and they still smell Ive tried washing them in hot water/ soap letting them sit in the sun, vinegar, but nothing works. Only reason Im giving this a 2 stars is the tiny pocket sized book, while written for people with an understanding of anatomy. Her ideas are sound and I bought other rubber balls (no smell, not even when new) that I use. While I would buy another book from the author never again will I buy anything from this publisher who doesn't care anything about product quality.
Summary of The Portable Miracle Ball Method
Introducing The Portable Miracle Ball, a take-it-anywhere-and-everywhere kit ideal for business travelers and commuters or anyone who spends long hours away from home. Rather than two balls, these exercises require only one, which, at 3 inches in diameter, packs easily and is discreet to use in public. The fully illustrated book is filled with simple exercises that work miracles the minute you settle into your hotel room or board a plane.Stuck in a long line at the bank? Here are techniques to stretch the muscles and reduce tension right on the spot (and no, you won't look silly). Feet worn out after a day at the museum? The author's soothing exercises targeting the insteps and legs will have you up and moving again in no time. And for anyone who experiences discomfort when sitting for long periods, the book features exercises to be performed at your desk, on a plane, or even in a restaurant. A chapter on "Emergency Measures" provides quick relief for back spasms, waking up with extreme stiffness, and other acute problems. The author discusses proper breathing technique, ball placement, and the importance of listening to one's own body when performing the movements.
