Balance has always been an issue for me - the right leg is noticeably better than the left (more than likely due to the fact that the foot flexors of the left foot don't work too well), but I can't go for more than a couple seconds on one leg usually without falling off balance. This program is designed to address that issue by using the stability ball (strengthening the abs) for exercises like the hammer curls standing on one leg, chest press, skull crushers, ball bridge, and hip raises. The squats and step ups I believe are to strengthen the leg muscles themselves.
As for form, she wants me to concentrate on getting it perfect - using lighter weights but ensuring that the form is dead on right. To address this she has me doing 2 seconds up and 2 seconds down on exercises like the reverse fly, biceps curls and crunches.
The rational part of me knows that this is a weakness that has to be addressed, but the more emotional part feels like it's like being sent to summer school after you thought you did so well during the year.
