Amazon.com Product Description
Strengthen your core, improve your posture, and enjoy your exercise routine with the Valeo 55-Centimeter Body Ball. The ball comes with a wall chart illustrating a step-by-step exercise program for easy learning and with a high-volume air pump so it is easy to inflate and deflate the ball. Whether you use your body ball for specific exercises, as a desk chair alternative, or for stretching, you are sure to enjoy the high-quality construction and great performance of the Valeo Body Ball.p When used with specific exercises, body balls can help develop your core strength, balance, and coordination. Body balls can stimulate healthy muscle growth, develop agility, and increase your flexibility so your muscles and joints remain functional and safe from injury. With exercises as simple as sitting on the ball and bouncing lightly, core strength is developed as your body must continually find and maintain balance. Body balls also help you find and maintain a neutral lumbar spine position, helping to ease lower-back pain and develop better posture. From merely sitting on the ball, to following the step-by-step exercises on the illustrated chart, the Valeo Body Ball will become an integral part of your fitness routine.p Designed to be used by individuals from 4-feet, 11-inches to 5-feet, 3-inches tall, the durable ball has a 55-centimeter diameter. The ball is easy to inflate and deflate with the included air pump for storage and portability. The ball is easy to clean with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Valeo has been developing fitness products of uncompromising quality and value since 1988, and the 55-Centimeter Body Ball Kit is no exception to this standard.p strongHow to Size a Body Ball for Your Height/strongbr liGeneral height guidelines: Match the ball to your height--the taller you are, the bigger the exercise ball. Here are some loose guidelines: li55 centimeter ball: 4 feet, 11 inches to 5 feet 3 inches li65 centimeter ball: 5 feet, 4 inches to 5 feet 10 inches li75 centimeter ball: 5 feet 11 inches and up liFollow the 90-degree rule: When you are seated on the ball with your feet flat on the floor, your hips and knees should form a 90 degree angle with one another. liConsider your own body and how you intend to use the ball: If you are near a height division, consider the length of your legs, as well as how you plan to use the ball. For example, if you intend to exercise while standing up or lying on your back, the smaller ball may work better, while the larger ball may work better for sitting on the it. /ulp strongWhat's in the Box?/strongbr Valeo 55-centimeter body ball, wall chart, air pumpp

Professional Quality, comes with pump, Nice! October 30, 2008
Is a professional quality ball, works good. It comes with a pump and a sizing band so you can and know how to properly inflate it (which by the way was also a good cardio exercise.)

Sizing is pretty accurate September 4, 2008
I'm 5'3 and I have been using this ball mainly as an alternative to my desk chair. When I'm at home I use my computer quite a bit and my posture has been suffering because of it. I assumed it would be slightly too big but actually I find it to be slightly too small. But I'm using this as a chair, not as an exercise ball, well at least not yet. If I were to use it for that I'm sure the sizing would be correct. So if you're small like me, this ball is perfect!

Not Getting why everyone loves this.... August 30, 2008
I don't get it...why is this so popular? I just don't enjoy the workout as much as regular yoga or pilates, and not sure if I am getting any additional benefit.

Strong and pliable August 15, 2008
I gave this to my son for christmas and while we don't do a lot of body ball exercising, he uses it to sit on while watching tv. I have found that he thoroughly enjoys it and it keeps him moving even while being a couch potato.

This ball doesn't hold air. August 5, 2008
This ball doesn't hold air. I'm not sure if it oozes air from the small hole it came with or the valve. The hole is rather a thin spot (in the already thin rubber )that might of developed after sticking to itself. Not worth the money. I don't think it would pop with average weight put on it.
