J Fit Large Exercise Stability Ball Base Review

to say this is the flimsiest item i've ever received is an understatement...i would return it, but it would cost more than the product is worth...maybe i'll use it as a planter, or something else - it won't stay together, and when i did assemble it, the ball would roll like crazy...really surprised amazon would sell something this bad,
but i'm sure they don't have control of manufacturing of their vendors...a waste of time and money.

J Fit 45cm Professional Grade Exercise Ball (Ruby Red) Review

J Fit 45cm Professional Grade Exercise Ball (Ruby Red)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This review is for the J Fit 45cm "Professional Grade" Exercise Ball. I wanted a 45 cm one to fill out my home gym's three other-sized fitness balls. It is hardly professional, but is quite thin, just like the cheapest ones from box stores. When inflated to exactly 45 centimers diameter, measured with a tape, it compresses almost halfway(!) with my 160 pound weight. This mushiest ball I've yet encountered is a joke. At correct inflation even a child would find it way too spongy. Look elsewhere at other brands. I returned it immediately as defective, for a refund.

Anti-burst ball is made of a new material that is stronger than ever, holding up to 2000 lbs. The burst resistant material allows the ball to slowly deflate if punctured, minimizing the chance of injury. Specifically target your abs, back and glutes. Strengthen and tone your entire body by working your muscles in a completely new way by giving constant resistance from every direction. Great for people of all ages, and all fitness levels. Comes with a pump and an exercise guide. Size: 18" (45cm) for individuals 4'6" to 5'0". Ball color: Ruby Red

FitBALL Exercise Ball - 75cm Review

FitBALL Exercise Ball - 75cm
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In preparing to buy a ball to sit on in lieu of an office chair, I researched:
- several brands of balls in person including those at home, those at my gym and the other balls in the office
- reactions from people who use balls as desk chairs
- online reviews
FitBALL emerged as my choice for:
- durability
- textured surface - not totally smooth
- best options for color, size and accessories (though I do use the ball by itself)
Results:
- I sit on the ball all day, every day at work
- My spine feels better! I also use it to perform easy core-strengthening movements while I work. I go home feeling more flexible and invigorated, and my chiropractor has also noticed the difference
- The ball is durable, comfortable, and stylish
- 3 others in the office have purchased one since I bought mine.

This is a nice heavy-weight stability ball. It was difficult to find a 45 cm, and I am very short so this is exactly what I needed. The pump that comes with it is virtually useless, but that does not affect the quality of the product or its purpose. Excellent product for the price.

GoFit PREMIUM Core Stability Ball with Workout DVD (65 cm) Review

GoFit PREMIUM Core Stability Ball with Workout DVD (65 cm)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased 2 GoFit Ultimate Burst Resistant Core Stability Balls w/DVD (orange 55cm and purple 65cm) over a year ago from Amazon (on sale). The ball is a very durable, good quality ball (no foul smells or sticky surfaces like some other stability balls). I haven't had any problems with the ball in over a year of constant use. I have had to occasionally add air to keep the ball at the appropriate size (but nothing out of the ordinary).
This package comes with the ball, pump and workout DVD. I didn't even attempt to use the cheap manual pump included, but opted to use my husband's automatic pump, which quickly and easily inflated the ball to the desired size without any effort. The workout DVD is that in name only. It has some good exercise ideas, but if you are looking for a stability ball workout, you will probably want to buy a separate "true" stability ball workout DVD. [..]

As a side note ...
When determining what size stability ball to purchase, leg length (not height) is what ultimately dictates the size ball you need. If you know you have shorter or longer legs for your height, then you may need to get a smaller or larger ball than the standard height charts for stability balls.
For those of you who are unsure of how much to inflate your stability ball, here are some helpful guidelines taken from the fitnesource site ... On a wall, measure 55cm, 65cm or 75cm (depending on the ball size you have) from the floor and mark it with a pencil. Then inflate the ball until it feels/looks "full", but is not hard and still has a little bit of give in it when you press on it. Put the ball close to the mark you made on the wall and then place a ruler on top of the ball so that it touches the top of the ball and the mark on the wall. This will tell you how close you are to the maximum inflation for your ball size. If this is the first time you are inflating the ball, while it might seem full, it might still measure small. If this happens, give the ball a day to "stretch out" and then add some additional air, if needed. If you don't want to do all that, they also sell tape measures specifically for measuring the diameter of stability balls. Just keep in mind, that when you sit on the ball with your feet flat on the ground and knees bent, your knees should be level with or slightly lower than your hips (a 90 degree angle).

Thera-Band Exercise Balls - SDS Anti-Burst Exercise Balls Review

Average Reviews:

I got this workout ball because I have cats and every time I've gotten one in the past the cats seem to be able to pop them with their claws. This one is great because it can't be popped and it just feels sturdier. The only problem I have with it is that I am exactly 5'6 and it is on the small side for me. So I would recommend that if you are on the edge of what they recommend for size, go the one step bigger otherwise you will regret it.

AeroMat Dual Grip Fitness Power Medicine Ball 6 - 30 lb (Select Your Weight) Review

AeroMat Dual Grip Fitness Power Medicine Ball 6 - 30 lb (Select Your Weight)
Average Reviews:

I purchased this medicine ball after previously buying the ten and twelve pound balls of this same brand. The difference of quality of this ball compared to any other medicine balls is exceptional. It is very sturdy and easy to use with all age clients and also very versatile. I use this and the others sizes I bought on a daily basis and only wish I had more of them. There is no comparison to other medicine balls I have used and/or bought myself. I do wish they went in even higher weights than they appear to because I would buy them to use with my clients as a personal trainer.

Valeo Body Ball (65 cm) Review

Valeo Body Ball (65 cm)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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!

This product was not made up to the constructions standards required to execute the exercises it is intended to be utilized with. This product was modeled after the tornado ball designed by the CHEK Institute. This ball lasted less than 3 sessions simply doing woodchops. My money was promptly refunded after its failure. Wish I had spent the extra money and got the CHEK ball in the first place.
