 Great for core strength and conditioning Oct 03, 2006
By Scott Mckinnon
"it's me"
I compete in amateur mixed martial arts, and I wanted to improve my core strength. I was originally skeptical about body balls, prefering to use weights instead. However my research located a lot of credible sources that claim this works, so I ordered this Valero body ball to see if the stories were true.
I have had three sessions on this ball so far. I must say, I am quite impressed. The ball comes with a poster of some basic exercises, but a little research online will turn up a lot of other great exercises as well. There is no muscle group that I can't condition with this thing. Combine it with some free weights or a medicine ball, and feel the results quickly!
Some of my favorite exercises are the walk-out push-ups for upper body, a modified "superman" on the ball for upper and lower back, and a wall slide with the medicine ball for lower body. I love the "unstableness" of the ball. It works muscle groups that normal exercises don't get, because you have to constantly adjust to maintain your balance (especially once muscle fatigue starts setting in).
I use the ball for moderate to high intensity exercises, but there are even more low intensity exercises and stretches for this. I see no reason why this wouldn't be appropriate for most people (be prepared to fall off your first few times doing balance exercises on this, however).

 Great Value Sep 13, 2006
By J. Litwin
When I inflated the ball, it had a very strong odor and I had to let it air out. Also, the ball was smaller than I thought (I purchased the 65cm ball). Other than that, the chart that was included is great if you're a beginner and it's great to use for my workouts and the pump that is included comes in handy. I'd recommend getting the 75cm ball if you want to use the ball as an office chair in addition to your work outs.

The best stability ball I've owned Nov 04, 2007
By Yvonne Gefrich
"auntvonna"
I've tried several stability balls, but this one is the best for the money that I've tried. It's durable and it's the perfect size for me (I'm 5'5"). I would definitely recommend this product!

Great Choice for Yoga Ball Oct 04, 2006
By Lewis J. Park
I was glad I purchased this ball. The kit came with the ball, pump, and some exercise suggestions. I was surprised by how large the ball became after full pump. I have had no problems with the ball except that it kind of smells initially, but should go away with use and a wash.
