 Great purchaseJul 21, 2010
I bought this to use as an office chair, and it is working out great. I had ordered a different ball that was smaller than advertised and took forever to blow up b/c it only came with a small hand pump. This one comes with a foot pump that is much more effective. I inflated it with no problem and am loving it. For anyone interested in replacing their office chair with a balance ball, I recommend this one. I am 5'8" and for my height most people recommend a 65cm ball, but I find the 75cm ball much more comfortable. If you are tall and have long legs, I would recommend purchasing the 75cm ball.
Great Therapy Item-Jun 12, 2010
I ordered this ball after my physician said he uses one, and that my physical therapy would benefit using some of the exercises with the ball. And it has! I am a larger size woman, and this ball can take me sitting on it, and rotating my axis points back and forth. I'm pleased with it, and will start following the included poster of exercises next.

Have a Ball !!May 19, 2010
There's nothing magical about this piece of equipment- its a big, sturdy rubber ball, and what you see in the picture is exactly what you get. So why would you even want to bother messing with it?
Well, despite its simplicity, its a really FUN piece of exercise equipment and an absolutely GREAT way to change things up. For instance, if you're tired of doing sit-ups on the floor, well, try them on the ball (you'll see what I mean when you do). If you're tired of doing push-ups on the floor, just try them with your feet on the ball- then see how many push-ups you can do!
But be careful and use your judgement. While there's a lot of stuff you can do with this big ball, you COULD also get hurt if you're clowning around or trying something you're simply not in shape to do yet. Know that this ball comes with an exercise sheet that give you suggestions for doing different exercises.
All-in-all, though, its especially nice for a change of pace or for an added challenge. Additionally, many therapists use this ball for rehabilitation purposes, particularly back rehab, so there's really a lot you can do with it. If nothing else, pull it out after a long day at the office and stretch your back out over it- wow- does that ever feel good! Those who suffer with back pain might also be interested in Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis. Have fun!
good quality exercise ballMay 13, 2010
This exercise ball is of good quality and perfect for it's designed purpose. I was less thrilled with the pump that it comes with to fill the ball - it's a very small pump, so you spend a lot of time either stepping on the pump or squeezing it. It also has some connection issues with the tube you connect to the pump - it fits snugly (no leaking) but tends to fall out a lot, especially since you're pumping a lot to fill it up. But I suppose you only really need to fill the ball every once in awhile, so its not that much of a deal breaker.
Perfect labor ball !May 12, 2010
The size is just right to bounce around while pregnant. I was surprised that it withstood me and my pregnant belly bouncing around on it. My children enjoy this ball too. I leave it in the living room and everyone who sees it, HAS to try it!. Great to do work on etc. Easy to clean. THe only thing I didnt like was pumping this ball up. THe directions were hard to understand and follow. The hand/foot pump it comes with is flimsy and it took me over an hour to pump the ball for the first time. I can imagine that some of my troubles was because I am weak from pregnancy but my 20 yr old son also had some trouble pumping this ball up. Between the two of us though we finally got it done. This pump makes it hard to travel with. If you have a seperte pump to blow up inflatables (like I do now!) then this won't be too much of an issue. It comes with adjustable sizes to inflate. THe blue ribbon measured to big and If we used that as a marker to blow up this ball then it would have popped for sure. Instead measure the wall to 65cm and do not go past that height for the ball OR use a tape measure to measure out 65 cm on the blue tape provided and use that as a guide as when to stop blowing it up (or just use your best guess). This ball is very sturdy and can withstand a lot of pressure without popping. I will be using it in Labor and delivery to labor on. The surface is easy to clean while maintaining good traction on any type of floor.
