Natural Fitness 55cm Burst-Resistant Exercise Ball (Plum) Review

Natural Fitness 55cm Burst-Resistant Exercise Ball (Plum)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love the texture of the ball... it's slightly bumpy/rough-ish, not shiny or slippery and the colour is darker than I thought it would be, but I still love it. I use the ball as my office chair, like so many others are doing, and within the first few minutes my back was less achy and I was suddenly more alert. I am curious as to how much better the balls are inside the ball bases/stands that convert the ball to look more like a chair, but honestly, I think the ball does fine on it's own. It's also great for those boring moments at work when things are going slowly... I just start a little bounce and it puts a spring in my sit ;-).
I haven't had any problems with the ball deflating, but when I first pumped it up I thought it was surprisingly small... but that was because I didn't realise I could pump pump pump until it was larger (despite the "burst resistant" name, I was concerned that I would pump it too full of air and it would pop once I sat on it).
I highly recommend this ball to anyone who loves purple or wants to try out a ball for an office chair!

Dynaflex Pro Sports Gyro Wrist Exerciser Review

Dynaflex Pro Sports Gyro Wrist Exerciser
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's funny how so many of the reviews posted here are either 5-star "its so great! its so easy!", or 1-star "its a piece of worthless junk!". The reality is that, for most of us, its going to fall somewhere in between. I bought one of these a week ago from a local sports shop, thinking that I could bring it into my office or with me when I travel, and use it while I read over papers and reports. Any chance I can get to multi-task... After a week of use...
Pros: I can easily see how this would provide a decent forearm workout. When I use it for 4-5 minutes in one arm I can really feel those muscles have indeed been worked. Consequently, I would say that it works more or less as advertised, meaning that it does what it says it will do (strengthen your forearms, hands, wrists, fingers, etc.)
Cons: Despite some of the promotional material, it is not the easiest thing in the world to get started. I tried the "handstrike" methods to no avail. After a week of using it several times a day, I am now focusing solely on starting it with the string. I am only able to get it up to truly high rpm's once out of every 5-6 tries; however I can almost always get it up to the point where it will run for a minute or two. The motion involved is not quite the simple "back and forth" that is advertised on the package or in the "instructional" dvd that comes with it. It seems to be more of a circular motion, and it seems to be important to not try to force the gyroscope to spin too fast too quickly, you need to work with it especially at the beginning. And to some of you who say it is ridiculously easy to use; yes I *can* tie my own shoes, I *am* reasonably well coordinated. Please simply consider yourself lucky that it worked for you so easily rather than insulting the rest of us.
Consequently, at this point, it is definitely *not* the tool I was hoping for in that I really need to pay attention to it in order to use it. I can't read, look at my computer screen, have a phone conversation, or really think about anything other than the gyroscope. Hopefully this changes over time.
Additionally, those folks who want to use it at their workplace should know that it is *not* silent, the gyroscope absolutely makes a small noise when it gets up to high rpms, which may be distracting in some work environments.
So, does it strengthen your hands & forearms, probably. Is it as easy to use as some suggest? Definitely not. However, I would hazard a guess that most people could develop the skill required with a few days or weeks of steady practice. I'll hope that works for me at least.

Barry's Bootcamp Complete Workout System Review

Barry's Bootcamp Complete Workout System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For reference I am low advanced, used the black power bands, and followed the advanced modifier when I could. I absolutely LOVE this set. It is challenging and fun w/ NO dread factor. I have lost 4 lbs in 4 weeks with it and just started my 5th week.
Cindy Whitmarsh actually leads the workouts. I think she is a good lead-not too overzealous, not too serious. Barry walks around and says things like "great abs arent made in the gym, theyre made in the kitchen so be sure to eat right too" and pushes down on exercisers shoulders for added resistance. He is quirky and I liked him too. They show a beginner and an advanced modifier with Cindy doing intermediate. There is a countdown banner on the bottom of the screen that counts down each minute. I find it less intrusive than the banner on the SS w/o's. A buzzer goes off at the 10 seconds remaining mark and Cindy, Barry & crew countdown. The music is good IMO, upbeat, not annoying or too loud.
The kit comes with 3 dvds. There is a lower body dvd, upper body dvd, and a code red (get fit quick in 6 days) dvd. The upper and lower body dvds each have a 21 minute w/o and 6 additional Mission Specialist w/o's on them. The MS w/o's are 12 min each and are: upper body-beginner, lowerbody-beginner, abs-beginner, upper body-advanced, lower body-advanced, and abs-advanced. The kit also comes w/ resistance cord handles and 2 strengths of interchangable resistance bands. The green band is level 1 (beginner strength) and the black is level 3 of 4. It also comes w/ a torpedo shaped ball, the Transformer. The transformer ball is used as a weight bench, stability ball, and a prop for cardio & strength moves. The resistance bands can go around the ball while you are laying on it-so you can do bench press for example.
Lower Body Fat Blaster: it is 21 minutes plus a short warmup. The moves are bootcamp type moves and each exercise lasts for only one minute, alternating between strength and cardio moves. The moves included crabwalks w/ the band, mountain climbers, squats & lunges w/ and w/out the band, one legged hops, etc. It was tough! Because each exercise only lasts 1 minute it is very doable-but still tough. In between exercises you have 30 seconds to "rest" which is used to put down your band, get your ball, etc and introduce the next move. I kept my feet moving during the 30 seconds. My HR really stayed up the entire workout.
Upper Body Fat Blaster: The workout is 21 minutes plus a short warmup. There is a beginner and advanced modifier throughout. Each exercise is one minute with a 30 second "rest" inbetween that is used to set up the next move and get your ball or cord ready. She alternates strength and cardio moves. Some of the exercises include pec flys on the transformer ball using the cords, blow-outs (including a hop at the end-TOUGH!), fast run then down to a Mt. Climber on Barry's cue, upper cuts using the cords, jumping jacks pushing the transformer ball back and forth, tricep dips off the ball (TOUGH), etc. My only complaint is that the bands seemed too long when wrapped around the ball-too much slack to make the moves challenging. I ended up switching to dumbbells for those moves. You can use 2 bands in the handles at once, which would make it tougher but that seemed like a lot of extra work.
Mission Specialist Lower Body (Beginner): 1 minute segments, each one focused on the lower body. The exercises had a cardio effect but
were all toning exercises. It uses the bands and the ball. Some of the moves were done on the floor and some standing. The exercises were different than in the main lower body w/o. Both a beginner and an advanced option wereshown.
Mission Specialist Upper Body (Beginner): All strength moves in one minute increments. There are 8 exercises, most using the ball and/or the tubing. The moves were different than in the main UB w/o and included push-ups off the ball, tricep extensions w/ the cord, bicep curls w/ the cord, etc.
Mission Specialist Abs (Beginner): Ab work done in 1 minute increments. Used the ball and the bands in some of the exercises. Most were done on the floor or ball. Both a beginner and an advanced option were shown.
Mission Specialist Abs (Advanced): Ab work done in 1 minute increments. This was mostly floor work on and off the ball, included Russion twists, jack knives on the ball, bicycle abs w/ the ball, V-sits w/ the ball, etc.

You can lay on it, lean on it, and even lift it--it truly does it all. The package also includes Barry's patented Power Handles, which flex and rotate through each bootcamp exercise to focus the resistance on your entire muscle. The handles work in conjunction with two sets of resistance bands, which let you choose the best resistance level for each exercise.
Finally, the Barry's Bootcamp bundle comes with a 15-day free trial for Barry's exclusive VIP Online Bootcamp, which gives you access to the Don't Think, Just Shrink 30-day transformation guide and calendar, Dr. Gourmet's list of customized meals, recipes, and shopping lists, a FatBurn personal calorie coach, and one-on-one advice from Barry and other fitness and nutrition experts.

FitBALL Office Chair Package Review

FitBALL Office Chair Package
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Overall, I love the chair, the company needs to put better wheels on it and provide a better pump (or none at all).FitBALL Office Chair Package
Prior to buying, I read a lot of the negative reviews. Some of them stated that the ball went through the chair and touched the ground. I would say that it must not have been pumped up enough. I have no problem with this and I have the chair adjusted all the way to the lowest setting.
Another complaint was that the back support is too far back. The purpose of this chair is to built your core, and you are not going to do that by leaning back onto a back support. If I sit back further on the ball, my back is supported if I need it to be, but I do not usually sit that far back.
Another complaint was that the chair did not fit properly for the height of the person, I would suggest some research to make sure you understand what size ball you should buy.
I like the fact that this ball is unbreakable , compared to other ball chairs. It also has a sturdy frame. I think that the wheels will be the first things to go, they are cheap. Don't even bother with the pump, it doesn't work. Use a bike pump with the correct fitting.
One thing that was not clear to me and I think I finally found something that explained it was how to pump up the ball. You need a ruler to measure the height of the ball. You don't use pressure, like other blow up items.

I purchased a new peanut ball as a Christmas gift for my autistic nephew. My sister opened it the day after Christmas and tried to inflate it only to discover that it leaks. She tried to follow up by calling the info on the packing slip with no luck. When I called the company on the packing slip, Aeromat Fitness Products, they said that I had to call the company who makes the product, Workout Healthy, and gave me a phone number that started with area code 301. I called it and got someone's personal voice mail, not a company. I looked up Workout Healthy's website and called their 888 number and was told that I could not get a refund or exchange unless I returned the product "unopened". I asked, "How can I know that it's defective without opening it?" The woman I spoke to simply said that "that's our policy". Nice. Please avoid the hassle and do not order anything from Aeromat or Workout Healthy.

I saw this at the store and it was a decent price, I have problems doing crunches/situps so I thought this would be something to at least try.
It's great! The dvd is also very good. I like the trainer, she's nice and the peanut is used for for several things like a stability ball. Not only that but laying over it and rolling stretches the back, it can feel really good.
Also, the peanut material doesn't seem flimsy or thin. I'm trying to recall if it's referred to as "burst resistant" I'm not sure but I am a big girl and being on it doesn't worry me a bit.
Totally recommend this.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this item to replace a previous one that had broken. The day it arrived I used it to fill up a new balance ball - almost. When the ball was about half full I could tell there was something wrong with the pump. The handle and shaft were sticking and resisting movement. I took the pump apart and discovered the rubber membrane was all tangled around the plunger. After carefully untangling it and getting grease all over my hands I reassembled and tried again. Same thing happened, only this time the membrane was ripped. I did what I could to get it back in place again, and it wheezed along enough to almost fill the ball (not enough to use)before completely seizing up.
I threw it away and spent another 20 minutes cleaning up the grease it had leaked on my hands, clothes and the balance ball. I'll never buy another one.

I use this ball (in the 65cm size) as a "chair" for my desk in my office. It took a while to get it up to the right size. The pump it comes with is lousy: it fell apart a couple times, and doesn't have much power. However, it did get the job done. The circumference of the ball is supposed to be 81 inches. I got it up to about 70 inches the first day. After 2 days (including 1 day of sitting on it), I was able to inflate it to the full size. So far I haven't had any problems with leaking.

Average Reviews:

I have the ball in blue, 65cm. It's fine. I'd recommend that Valeo ball over these. I bought a 75cm Valeo ball and it came with a foot pump, circumference measuring strap, workout poster, and plug pulling tool. I bought the Valeo ball because this ball seemed too small. I didn't inflate this ball to the proper size - it's hard to tell what is the correct size without the circumference measuring strap. Anyway, this ball is fine, but the stuff that comes with the valeo ball makes it a better value in my opinion.

Altus Athletic 65cm 600-Pound Body Ball with DVD (Pearl)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I couldn't really decide which brand to buy, this being my first body ball, and starter balls all cost around a "Hamilton" plus a "Lincoln" (Amazon has a habit of taking out prices :P).
So basically it all came down to the size availability, and COLOR. I'm a guy so I didn't want a hot pink or purple ball in my house, especially with my decor, so this off-white ("Pearl") is the right color for me.
I'm 5'7" (about 170 cm) and this 65 cm ball is the perfect size for me. If you're anywhere up to 5'4", I'd recommend the 55 cm ball, and if you're over 5'10" I'd recommend the 75 cm ball.
You get what you pay for, so don't expect much (I see in other ball reviews people griping about very frivolous things). There are "premium" balls out there for a "Grant" or more if you want to splurge on what is essentially a thick and heavy beach ball.

Pros:
- Will eventially pump up a ball.
- One way valve prevents the ball from deflating between pumps.
Cons:
- Takes a long time since it can't hold much air.
- Leaks if not careful. There's a small yellow cap on the top center of the pump which you can see in the picture that will become loose if your hand isn't firmly over it while using the pump.
- Hose can come loose and disconnect from the pump since it's only secured by a semi-tight friction fit.
- I've used it once and it might do another, but definitely wont last forever.
Other Thoughts:
I highly reccomend using your lungs and maybe the hose to pump up the ball initially and move to the pump as you get towards the end and the ball is firmer.
