I spend a lot of time in front of the computer doing this & that and I'll just grab this up every so often and toss it back between my hands or do the exercises that come in the box. I've had this a little over a week and I can definitely tell it's working already. It's weighted just right and it doesn't even feel like I'm actually exercising at all which makes it more fun.

Good quality. Nice feel. I was expecting more like 3 inches in diameter but this in the 4" to 5" diameter range.

We actually used this as a kid's shot put in an athletic event. We threw it around on a synthetic surface which I thought would certainly tear it apart. Nothing at all happened to it.

Additionally, it's very comfortable to hold in small or larger hands. And I'd speculate that, if dropped on your foot, it wouldn't hurt (too much).

I'm ordering the 5 lb ball and only wished there was a 7 lb version too.

I have used small dumbells for workouts they are hard and cumbersome. These weighted balls work wonderful for jazzercize routine and/or pilates.

I had always used hand weights in my excercise routine until I purchased a new workout video that also used the weighted balls. The balls looked more comfortable and easier to handle so I decided to try them. The balls are not solid as I expected but are soft and have "give" when they are held. I find I have a better grip and weight seems to be more evenly distributed. I also find that my movements are smoother. The weighted balls are especially good for leg excercises where the ball is placed behind the knee and gripped, much easier to hold onto. They're fun to just play with, too! I would recommend these weighted balls to anyone who excercises, especially beginners. Use the weight that is right for you, however!

I have to say, I love these weighted balls. 3 pounds is the perfect weight to start with, I may buy bigger ones later but for now these are perfect. When I throw it up and catch it 100 times I definitely start to feel the burn. I do it when I'm watching TV, so I don't feel like a couch potato. The skin of the ball is tough and hasn't torn even after being dropped on edge of a sharp wooden box. (btw, it makes far less noise when dropped then metal weights). I throw it in different ways so I can work different muscles. Really I'm very happy with this.

Bought this to help strengthen my shoulder. It is the right amount of weight, easy to grab, which allows for a variety of movements. I had thought about buying a larger weight, but 3 pounds was perfect, allowing my muscles to get used to moving. Grow into this weight and move into a higher amount.

I bought three of these to use for a juggling workout. At about 4.5" diameter, these balls are the size of big grapefruits, so not perfect for juggling, but a whole lot cheaper than weighted juggling balls you'll find elsewhere in the internets. So far, I'm impressed. It has only been a few weeks but they've already been dropped quite a lot and seem to hold up very well.

Here is an image that shows a closer approximation of the size and color of the ball: [...]. Color isn't exactly what is pictured here on Amazon, if you care about that sort of thing.

I purchased this for my girlfriend and she is very happy with it. It is just like the one she uses at her Gym
