Maybe not the best for strenuous use August 24, 2008 I bought six of these to use in my classroom for students to use as chairs. The kids love them, they are the right height, and the price was right. One of the balls didn't last for four days before needing to be pumped up every day. Two weeks later, another ball has now started to need pumping up every day. They have no visible or audible holes, so I'm guessing they leak around the plug. Granted, they get used actively all day long, and the kids do like to bounce on them. The pump that comes with the ball is pretty lame. It will do the job, but it will take 15 minutes to pump the ball from flat to full. I don't mind the arm workout, but a foot pump, one that handles a larger volume of air, or a dual-action pump would be more efficient. My least favorite part is getting the plug out of the ball. I have not bothered to look at the workout DVD that accompanied the ball since that wasn't the purpose in using them. The color is more blue than green.
Awesome ball! July 1, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This ball is great so far! I use it as a ball chair and for exercises. I have used it for a couple of months with no problems. It is transparent and sounds sticky (on kitchen floor) when you bounce up and down. Great for price.
