a workout to inflate the ball

2008-09-30
This ball works great.

The only advice I have is that it took me three days to inflate up the ball (with the manual pump that they provided). It's easier to inflate the ball if there's 2 people to coordinate putting the plug in before air leaks out.

Birthing and Baby Bouncing Ball

This ball can also be used for:

- Support and relief during labor.

- Bouncing a baby to help soothe and comfort.

Bring one with you to the hospital and keep it around afterward to sit on and bounce the baby! Works much better than a rocker/glider for many babies.

Ball of steel

Not only do I put my entire body weight on this big pink ball, but so do my kids and my wife. Sometimes at the same time. And our aussie likes to chew and chase and claw the ball for exercise. As well as leaping on top of the ball and jumping off of it. This thing has been indestructable for 2 months so far. Well worth the price.

Valeo Body Ball

I purchased the ball in order to do the Drums Alive exercise program at home. The pump that came with the ball didn't work well. It couldn't inflate the ball to its full capacity. We emailed the company and they sent us a pump that did inflate the ball. At this time the ball seems to be of good quality.

Great!!

I read many reviews before making a final decision and I do not regret choosing this body ball. I had no problems with the pump that came with the ball like some reviewers claimed. It is pink and I know some would not like that, but Valeo donates a portion of the purchase to breast cancer research!

Fantastic deal!

Hey...pretty good stuff!

Love my ball. Don't use it enough, but it is great! I love to strech on it, and it holds up nicely so far!

lots of great uses, great price

I've had this ball for several weeks now and it's been great. I'm using it right now instead of a desk chair. I'm 26 weeks pregnant and have a 30lb two year old and I could feel my back begin to take most of the abuse. Just sitting on it at the computer strengthens my core muscles and has helped a lot. I also use it to do some other stretches and strengthening moves before bed to help keep my back healthy. They are also great for natural childbirth (used one in the hospital with my first) and this one will work great for that too. My mother is a regular at her chiropractor and she says that he sits on one of these while working on his patients (I personally wanted to avoid the chiro but that fact helped me decide to get one for myself). Can't beat the price.

Perfect for exercising!

This item is just what I was looking for. It's not too big but not too small. I am around 5'1" and I searched to find the right size exercise ball but kept finding different tips. How did I finally decide on this? I loved the color! But it ended up being perfect! When inflated it is just the right resistance, not too firm but not too soft that I feel like I am sinking in. The only thing I had a problem with is I had to add air a few times until I found the right amount, but I think that is going to happen to everyone who is filling up a ball the first time. Overall this is exactly what I was looking for! I would recommend this for anyone looking for a great exercise ball!

great workout, challenging but comfortable

I had never used a fitness ball before, but have read recently about the great benefits for core strengthening and flat belly exercises. So, I bought this ball and have been using it 2-3 times a week ever since. It's a challenge to use, certainly, but what I like most is that even though I know I'm getting a good abdominal workout (including obliques) with the exercises I am doing, I am never sore the next day.
