Material,
This review is from: Gaiam Back Care Conditioning Kit (Sports)
I dont know about these other reviews! My back ball is not sticky, does not smell, and does not move like Jello. First out of the packaging there does seem to be a bit a film that is obviously necessary to keep a large plastic deflated ball from sticking together. Once pumped up and aired out overnight this goes away.
I have not used the exercise video yet and looking forward to it - but it has a nice full size chart of exercises and I do like the feel and stability of an oblong ball. It is stable enough for my 3 yr old grandson to roll around doing his own exercises. When I use my round ball he is able to sit on the oblong ball.

Jello is wiggly ~ this is too! Not for the novice ~ you could hurt yourself,
By Kim S. Hopkins "Be happy, healthy, and humble" (Bel Air, California USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Gaiam Back Care Conditioning Kit (Sports)
Gaiam Back Care inflatable unique oblong SupportBall looks like a jelly been gone bad! It does not hold its shape while you are working out so you constantly need to adjust it which makes the workout extremely difficult, in addition it is sticky to the touch and smells a bit odd ~ I am a fitness trainer at one of the top sports clubs in the world and would not be able to use this with a client, that being said the exercises in the video are very good and would benefit the user if they could adapt to them to a different ball. It is a workout in itself to pump the ball with the enclosed hand pump. Overall I would not suggest this to anyone who is just starting out or not extremely well educated in physical fitness.
