Product Description

Product Description
A primary benefit of exercising with a Bodytrends exercise ball as opposed to exercising directly on a hard flat surface is that the body responds to the instability of the ball to remain balanced, engaging many more muscles to do so. Those muscles become stronger over time to keep balance. Most frequently, the core body muscles - the abdominal muscles and back muscles - are the focus of exercise ball fitness programs. Using a Bodytrends exercise ball as part of a fitness program can include a wide range of difficulty levels, each requiring support from the back and stomach muscles that help firm up the trunk muscles in the body. Exercise balls are commonly used as part of a physical therapy program for individuals with low back pain. Whether you are new to fitness or a seasoned athlete, this ball will enhance your workout giving you results. Ideal for stretching, strengthening and toning exercises. First used by physical therapists over 30 years ago, exercise balls are now used in leading health clubs around the nation and are quickly becoming a standard item for any home gym. The BodyTrends Anti-Burst Fitness Ball is safe, durable and easy-to-use.

1.0 out of 5 stars 65cm ball with pump, December 22, 2005

By	Kelly Peery (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The ball is alot smaller than 65cm, which should be about 26"... it's more like 20". I noticed other customers had similar sizing problems with these. & as stated by others, YES, the pump is useless. the one attachment that screws in either breaks right away or keeps falling out. & there's no way to adequately fill the ball with enough air since it starts leaking from the pump device itself once you get it closer to being filled & the pressure of the air forces it back to the pump. I'm giving this ball away... hoping someone ALOT shorter than 5'7" can get some use out of it. The material the ball is made of seems durable, so if you're looking to buy this one, get a size up & invest in a decent pump. The 65cm ball would probably work best for someone less than 5'6" tall.

4.0 out of 5 stars acceptable, October 14, 2005

By	Nancy Beach "Nan" (Iowa, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This ball does its job. The only complaint I have is that you have to keep adding air. It doesn't stay tight. I use it daily so maybe it is normal wear and tear for these balls. It has stood up to my three-year old son who gives it a run for its money. That says a lot for me. I would say this is a good value for both ball and pump. I have even used my pump for other things. The plastic tip screws on and off and you can put on other valves.
