Great "child friendly" alternative to traditional hand weights...,

This review is from: Danskin DA-1050R 8 lb. Weighted Toning Ball (Sports)
You can't go wrong buying any of the Danskin, GoFit or Valeo Weighted Toning/Fitness balls. The only difference among the 3 brands of balls is the diameters of the balls. All of the Valeo balls (regardless of weight) are ~5 inches in diameter. The diameters of the Danskin and GoFit balls, on the other hand, increase as the weight increases. So the diameters of the Danskin and GoFit balls are roughly as follows: 4lb=~5inches, 6lb=a little under 6 inches, 8lb=a little over 6.5 inches, and 10lb=roughly 7inches versus 5 inches for all of the Valeo balls.
All 3 brands of balls are made of soft vinyl, filled with sand and air, and a great alternative to the tranditional hand weights. They are all pretty comparable. If you are looking for 3lb balls, the Karen Voight 3lb green Genie Balls are very good. I recently purchased all 4 brands and selected the least expensive for each of the weight/sizes that I needed. UPDATED (4/17/06): After using the toning balls for several months, I have found that I actually prefer neoprene dumbbells. Dumbbells are easier and more comfortable to hold and handle. I still think these are good toning balls. But given a choice between a toning ball and a neoprene dumbbell, I would choose a neoprene dumbbell.

This review is from: Danskin DA-1050R 8 lb. Weighted Toning Ball (Sports)
It's a sand filled rubber ball that doesn't bounce. The price is good and it is sturdy. Much smaller than a medicine ball of the same weight. What more is there to say?
