Exercise Ball - Purple - XXL

We bought this to replace our ottoman, and it's turned out to be so much more! I'd visited a house where they replaced their ottoman with yoga balls, and I loved the idea because they can also be used as seating and as exercise equipment. The 75 cm ball was perfect for my 6'4" husband and 6'2" son to sit on, and it was so comfortable for me (at 5'6") that I ordered a second one (65 cm) to switch out with my office chair. I'm a fidgeter, so it's great to sit on something that moves with me. There are videos online with exercises you can do at your desk with a yoga ball, and there are studies that claim even sitting still on the ball helps strengthen your core since you have to keep yourself balanced. The two balls that I ordered from BalanceFrom both came with a foot pump, extra plugs, and a paper measuring tape, and they were easy to fill. They have kind of a pearly finish to them, which looks nice in my house and in my office. My younger kids have used them for extreme living room sports, and they've held up with no sign of losing air. Highly recommend!

I saw a lot of reviews saying they couldn't get these to fully inflate, but I didn't have any trouble.I followed the advice of some other people who said to partially inflate it, wait a day or so, and then inflate from there. I got the 75cm one and it fully inflated to the size indicated on the measuring tape. It did take some time, because the pump is small, but it is effective. It hasn't deflated at all, it's stable, it's not warped, it's great.I've been using it in place of an office chair while working from home and I'm very happy with it.

Such a pretty blue color! Much prettier than the picture, its more of a baby blue color than it shows. Inflated easily (my husband did it) and is the perfect size for me. I ordered the Large and I am 5'5" and 211 lbs. We blew it up to 65inches. The pump whistles when you blow it up which was kinda funny, not really bad, but might annoy someone. Just make sure to watch the nozzle because it came out of the ball a few times while pumping. The ball is well made. Doesn't look or feel cheap. Smells kinda like silly putty, and that's not bad at all! 10/10 would recommend this ball. Using it for my hypnobirth class and my home birth.

Never would I have thought this item would become a very important part of my life. That is not until my physical therapist recommended some core exercises to alleviate my back pain.I found planks effective but quite boring. There were a few others I tried as well. The exercise that works best for me is called “dead bug”. It strengthens the core and I can feel it focus on the lower back muscles on either side of my spine.There is a ball at the gym but it is stored up high. Either I find a tall person to interrupt and get it for me or I build a platform to climb up and get it myself. Now I have one of my own I can use without bothering anyone.After I do a few more sets of 15 dead bugs, I’ll go out and split some wood. This from a person that could barely walk down the hall for coffee a few months ago.Just one note about the inflation – the little pump is cute but I just used the air compressor as a shortcut which took about 2 minutes. :)

Where has this thing been my whole life?! I bought it to help survive the last few weeks of pregnancy but I wish I had bought this years ago. So great for basic motions to stretch your hips that I have not achieved without a ball before. At first I felt like the material of this ball was going to be too sticky and just attract horrid amounts of dog hair but it doesn't seem to be doing that. I did give up on the manual pump they include as pumping it was taking every ounce of energy I had and I was getting no where fast but it pumped up great and quickly with my regular air pump!
