Product Description

Isokinetics Inc. brand Exercise Disc/Balance Cushions are high quality products without the high price. No middleman means you save! And, we provide all Isokinetics Inc. brand Discs with a 1 year guarantee directly from Isokinetics Inc. Exercise and balance discs have a dual use. They can be used for sitting to give you the same benefits as sitting on an exercise ball, like better sitting posture, or they can be used in exercise to provide an unstable surface, forcing you to use more muscles to remain balanced, thus getting a more complete workout. **They are also popularly used by parents and teachers as "wiggle seats" that help active children sit still.** NOTE: Comes inflated to a level suitable for most uses. If you need a needle nose pump, we offer a low cost one separately (search Amazon for "isopump" if you don't see it as an accessory).

5.0 out of 5 stars "Wiggle Seats" January 7, 2009

By Judith Smith

Color Name:Yellow

I purchased 7 of these discs for my classroom of severely emotionally disturbed students who also have ADHD. It is recommended that this type of student use one of these seats to decrease the amount of fidgetting and off task behavior! It truly helps the student concentrate and focus on their school work! They are well constructed and hardy. Judy Smith

4.0 out of 5 stars great stability disc, wrong color November 10, 2008

By Whole Chiropractic Health

Color Name:Pinkish Red

As a chiropractor looking for inexpensive, but very effective physical therapy exercises for my patients, I use various types of balance equipment in my practice. I bought a number of these stability discs from Isokinetics to sell to my patients. So far, so good. I was a little disappointed that the color was PINK, not RED (less chance of selling to male patients, unfortunately), but they work well in any color.
I sell them for WEIGHT LOSS--by sitting on one of these discs on your office chair, you have to sit up straight, which will work out your core abdominal and lower back muscles ALL DAY--instant muscle activity=instant(gradual) weight loss! Calories burned needs to be greater than calories in to lose weight. Why not work out while you're stuck at your desk?

5.0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it says January 8, 2008

By reader999

Color Name:Blue|Amazon Verified Purchase

We bought one for my son (who has ADHD) and an extra. My son calls it his "wiggle seat" and enjoys sitting and standing on it. I use the other on my computer chair. Inexpensive and effective.

2.0 out of 5 stars 1/3 works December 10, 2009

By Spears

Color Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase

I had purchased two exercise discs. One I could inflate, the other the nozzle didn't look the same and I was not able to inflate it. I sent a complaint via email and the Isokinetic person send me a return form and shared that a replacement would be sent as soon as the other was received. It was a simple process and I was pleased with the prompt response. However, the next one I recieved had the same issue. I'm almost convinced it's the same one I had returned. So, I'm not pleased that someone had not checked to ensure product quality, especially after my complaint. The other one is just fine. Therefore, only 1/3 works.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wiggly seats for students September 13, 2008

By L. Shirk

Color Name:Blue

I purchased these for my kids who need/like to move in their seats - they were more economical than other seats I found. There are two surfaces, one smoother than the other. They are not distracting in the classroom and serve the purpose very well. I ordered three, then ordered more for other teachers who wanted them as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is what it is April 9, 2010

By Noah Roberts

Color Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase

Fairly thick, pliable plastic of some sort. I weigh 260 and am using these for stability exercises--so I'm standing on them (bought 2). Pumped up enough where I don't hit the ground. Have lasted this little while since I bought them just fine. They seem well constructed with tough enough plastic to do the job, though I doubt they can take much sharp things--haven't tested that hypothesis though.

You'll need a standard ball pump (not exercise ball pump) to inflate these. They do come with some air in them but it isn't enough.

Isn't much to say about a product like this. It's a plastic disc you fill with air and stand on. These do the job at a very reasonable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best version at lowest price...quick shipping too July 22, 2009

By Alma L. Gonzalez Aguilar

[...]. No more tailbone pain, no more low back pain. This thing really helps maintain a better work posture, improves butt blood circulation, and as an extra...stand on it every once in awhile for a terrific foot massage.

Also, shipping was very fast (in spite of Amazon's warning email warning that it might take awhile. I ordered on Monday and received it on Wednesday (in San Antonio, Texas)
