I love this ball, I don’t even mind if I leave it out at my home. It has a bit of sparkly in it. Totally different texture than my old ball. The “Anti Burst” feature sold me as after 4 years w/ my old call it bursted on me during a “Pilates on the Ball Session” luckily I wasn’t hurt. (If I had been turned the other direction I could have smacked my head on the coffee table on the way down.)
So I went online and found this beauty to replace it. Love the foot pump too, felt like it inflated faster than my old hand pump.
The ball is quite sturdy, the hand pump is a workout in itself. The sizing is confusing, among all brands, they can’t agree. The box says the 55cm is for 5′6″-6′0″, I bought this ball under the impression that 55cm was the size for anyone under 5′4″. This is my reality: 5′2″, 190lbs, looking mostly for something other than the couch to sit on, working on core strength. This ball is smaller than I wanted, my legs do not make 90 degree angle. Maybe I am too heavy, or perhaps after a few days I will be able to get more air in it. It will be great for exercizes where I hold it between my arms or legs, but for sitting on, or push-ups I will order a 65cm ball. My recommendation is to skip the sizing charts, find someone with a ball and decide for yourself which size suits your needs. Shipping was fine.
This ball is wonderful! It has proved to be the best purchase I’ve made this year. I have arthritis and I generally do water aerobics for exercise, but now I can alternate with my stability ball because all the exercises have a low impact on my joints!!! Thank TKO for making it “anti-burst” because the one I bought a few years ago, did just that. Now, I don’t have to be so extremely careful of this one because the outer skin is tougher! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a low impact way to exercise.
