They have this product at the gym, that I work out. Until I ran across them there, I had never heard about them. After hurting my back on the job, I wanted an easier way to do sit-ups. This product made it possible for me. I found it easier, and I felt like the workout I got on this product was better than just laying on the floor and doing so. They're even comfortble just to sit on. It's a great product for anyone wanting to lose some weight, in an easy and affordable way.

My mom's boyfriend is a huge health fanatic, and I went to stay with them. She guaranteed me that she'd find ways for me to lose weight and get in shape. They had several of these exercise balls, that made the work-out not only easier but fun. I managed to lose 50 pounds in three weeks, thanks to this product. It's amazing how much easier it is to do crunches, sit-ups, and improve your posture. I'd recommend this product to anyone that wants to lose weight without throwing their back out or being super sore. This product works wonders, and I believe it's the best thing that anyone could ever come up with to assist others in weight-loss.

I love my exercise ball so much that I actually own two of them. One large and one medium size one. They really are truly veritable. At simple glace they don't see that useful. I mean, they're just a ball, lol. After you look at all the things you can do with it and different books that have exercises for it, you'll never let it go. I use it for push-up because it takes them to another level. It makes them a little more challenging. Also, it's perfect for doing situps. I'm find with doing situps, but sometimes the floor just doesn't feel right and then it hurts when I'm doing situps. I don't own a mat, but I'm not sure that would make it any better. I love the way you can not only do regular situps on it, but you can do so many variations on it by just moving around on the ball.

I thnk the only bad thing is that mine came with a manual pump and it takes forever to blow up. That's an exercise on it's on. Then when it is inflated it's so big and takes up so much space that you don't know where to put it, but you don't want to deflate it because inflating it was so much work already, lol.

Great for physical therapy and balance exercises.

After being diagnosed with CTS, I went through 16 weeks of physical therapy. Part of this physical therapy included balance, hand weights, and posture training on this ball. The one I got was the red one in the picture on this website. When sitting on the ball, you are immediately forced to sit up correctly and correct your posture. You also have to balance yourself and hold yourself upright in order to do any weight training or exercises on the ball. This ball truly helped me to improve my posture and balance and that in turn has helped to keep my CTS from getting any worse over the years. At the end of my physical therapy, my employer bought the red ball for me so that I could continue to do the exercises I learned at home on the ball. I still do them and still use the ball all the time. I use the ball to also help with back pain if I am at my desk a lot at home. I can use the ball as a chair and it helps to relieve pressure from sitting with bad posture or sitting funny when you do not even know it. I would recommend this ball to anyone.

I love this exercise ball. I bought this ball to try to get myself out of an exercise rut. Well, it worked. This ball is a lot of fun. There are so many different exercises that can be performed using this ball. You will never get bored. You can use it to work your whole body. It also makes a great gift.

I bought this exercise ball because I was sick of doing boring exercises on the floor. After a week of using it I'm so glad I made the investment! The ball was a really good quality and whenever I'm on it I can feel like it's going to support me. Whatever I do on it I'm working out my abs, and I can add other exercises to it to work out other parts of my body. It's a low-impact way to work out many different parts of the body, plus it's a lot of fun. I'd definitely recommend this product to anyone who's bored with working out at the gym or staying at home doing thousands of push ups!

I looove my there-band exercise ball. I got it originally because I have back and knee problems, and exercising on the floor is just incredibly painful. The ball is amazing! Not only does it make it easier to exercise without the pain of getting up and down off the floor, it's changed my whole workout process. I use the ball for almost every exercise, and now that it's not so painful to do, I'm exercising more and even losing weight!

Theraband Excercise Ball

The Theraband Excercise ball is great. It lets you get floor exercises up off the floor. It greatly improves balance and gives you a much better range of motion. It looks intimidating at first, but once you do situps on the ball you will never want to do them on the floor again. This ball works anyway you need it to. It really is a great stabilizer.

I'm very familiar with Theraband products, as I used to work at a local physical therapy clinic. We used the Theraband "round style" bands and the "paper thin" bands as well for our patients. These balls were a great addition because it offered a whole slew of new exercises. We primarily use them for core strenghthening exercises, which can benefit anybody whether you're undergoing rehabilitation or just trying to strengthen your core muscles. I really enjoy teaching people all the new ab, leg, and arm exercises you can do with these balls.

Ab and core exercises can be difficult, even uncomfortable, especially on the floor! An exercise ball provides a much more comfortable way to do these exercises. I bought my first exercise ball while doing physical therapy after a total hip replacement. Unfortunately the first ball I purchased would deflate overnight, had a stiff feel, and was slippery on a carpeted floor. I replaced that original with a Thera-band ball - what a difference! The Thera-band ball remains inflated (after more than a year of daily use I've only had to add air once), has a soft feel (it's much more comfortable), and doesn't slip on carpet (resulting in a much more stable feel - a big plus). I've been using the Thera-ball for almost 18 months on a daily basis and it still looks like new. I highly recommend this product to anyone doing ab and core exercises.
