Customer Rating: Summary: awesome Comment: no review at this point, but I have to say the ball has been giving a great satisfaction on my idea to loose some wait.
thx Customer Rating: Summary: Valeo Body Ball Comment: Great for morning exercising. Light enough for abs and legs, yet heavy enough for arm work. Customer Rating: Summary: valeo body ball Comment: This product lived up to its pr. It was a little harder to inflate than stated on the pkg (I needed a second person and a motorized pump) - but its size is good and it does everything I need it to. It's not exactly a rocket science thing - but it's a good product and what I anticipated Customer Rating: Summary: Didn't last Comment: Like C. Richards, below, my ball burst after less than a year of light use. I wasn't seriously hurt, but it was a fairly ridiculous spectacle. There's no reason the material should fail so quickly if it's not being misused and abused. Customer Rating: Summary: Ball is bigger than expected! Air pump is terrible! Comment: The air pump nozzle that you insert into the ball was cracked and had to be taped about 2 minutes into the inflation process. The air pump that you press to inflate also cracked down the center where there is a plastic seam and had to be taped. The inflation process was a workout on its own. The ball is huge. It doesnt fit through doorways without a little struggle and pushing and pulling. I am 5 foot 6 and this ball is WAY to big for me. I already fell off of it. I am enjoying it except it is just way too big. I would've gotten the smaller one or even the smallest one if I realized that this one was for really tall people. My feet dont reach the ground for some exercises. My arms dont reach for others. I still love it and have been having fun just playing and stretching on it.
All in all, its great. It would have been easier and faster to blow this up like a pool intertube. The pump sucked and was a piece of junk.
Get a smaller one if you arnt some 7 ft tall person.
