I just purchased this ball at the local sports shop (Amazon’s price is less). It comes with a good instructional DVD which also guides you through inflating the ball (no paper, thank you for saving some trees!). I viewed it and the exercises appeared to be pretty effective. But the problem therein lies with the ball. Anybody can inflate a ball, right? On no, not this one! I tried and tried and gave up in frustration. Its opening seems to be wider than the straw provided and I was only able to fill it to 60% before the air started coming back out. The flimsy straw quickly bent, good luck finding another straw that fits. This ball didn’t workout and neither did I.

I have used these types of training balls at my gym – loved them – and wanted one of my own. However, this particular one is a big disappointment. It has a flimsy opening through which to fill it with air (which, by the way, you need to figure out yourself, because it came with no directions and no air pump) – once filled (if you can even get it filled to capacity), it never stays filled. I don’t see a leak – the air just doesn’t want to stay in. I would bot recommend this particular ball to anyone.

This ball is perfect for working your core. I could tell a difference in just a couple of weeks.
