Our opinion
Tested by Laurence, editorial journalist
"At first glance you tell yourself that it's going to be a pretty cool, rather playful hour.At the end of ten minutes you realize no, it's not that easy, especially if you're lacking in fitness! example of exercise: sitting on the ball, keeping the balance and thinking to "swallow the belly", you have to roll it while advancing your feet slowly to have only the shoulders and the head which rest above .... And when it comes to getting on all fours and holding, you suddenly understand the huge work of acrobats! Castrations ensured the next day.I confess to have had a real stroke of heart for this very comprehensive activity. "
