Self (magazine) DVDs

Blast from the past. I've recently done 2 Self workouts w/ Ellen Barrett, Slim & sleek Fast and Bikini Ready Fast. I've had others in the series.

Is there one that uses a stability ball?

I recently got the Ellen Barret one and one that Violet Zaki did. I found them on eBay. They’re pretty old but I never had them before. I love that they’re filmed by the ocean.

Haven’t done those in ages. I might do them this weekend.

I do the Bikini Ready Fast on a recurring basis. It’s one of my favourite Ellen’s.

The reason I ask is, before the workouts (both Slim & Sleek and Bikini Ready) start, there are very brief clips of them and other Self workouts that look familiar -- and a few seconds of 3 women exercising with a stability ball, holding it in their hands. I've never seen a Self workout with a stability ball, but from that clip, there must be one.

Hoping someone knows the title!

Firm Flat Abs Fast with Violet Zaki has a segment with a stability ball.
Maybe it's the workout you have in mind.

What timing in posting about these workouts! I just discovered that Slim and Sleek Fast is on YouTube and I did the workout earlier this week. I just looked and Bikini Ready Fast is also on YouTube, so I'll have to do that one, too! I love the outdoor scenery at the beach and Ellen is so calm and encouraging!

Thank you all! for the answer! I have a stability ball and I like Violet Zaki.

The beach scenery of these workout is a real spirit-lifter for me.
