5.0 out of 5 stars Have a Ball !!, May 19, 2010

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!

We purchased this ball to assist with ab workouts; I did my research and read tons of reviews on many other exercise balls and this was a great purchase. I probably should have gotten a smaller one since I'm 5'3", but the size does not seem to be a problem because my workouts are just as effective! My boyfriend is 5'9" and it works perfectly for him. Although the inflating did take some time, we had no problems with the pump and the ball has maintained it's shape and is very sturdy. I'm very satisfied and recommend this ball!

I love the body ball. I bought it for a specific purpose but if you aren't sure how to incorporate the body ball into your workout, it comes with a few exercises you can try. It was also reletively cheap.
