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. 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. 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. How to Size a Body Ball for Your Height
General height guidelines: Match the ball to your height--the taller you are, the bigger the exercise ball. Here are some loose guidelines: 55 centimeter ball: 4 feet, 11 inches to 5 feet 3 inches 65 centimeter ball: 5 feet, 4 inches to 5 feet 10 inches 75 centimeter ball: 5 feet 11 inches and up Follow 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. Consider 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. What's in the Box?

 Fast shipping, not such a great product October 2, 2009
Olga Krylova (NY)
Since I've been using the ball for 2 weeks, it keeps letting the air out and I have to constantly keep pumping it in every few days.
 Poor quality ball, poor quality pump August 22, 2009
David L. Holcombe (Seattle, WA USA)
I read the instructions carefully, and tried to inflate the ball as described in the instructions.
First, the included cheapie plastic pump split a seam within 3 minutes. Since the ball can't be inflated with a standard sports ball needle, we had to jerry-rig a patch for the pump, and continued to try to inflate the ball with a (now) leaking pump.
15 minutes later, taking turns because it was so difficult, we got the ball *almost* fully inflated, according to the included measuring tape. Deciding not to press our luck, we got the plug ready, pulled out the inflation nozzle, and the ball popped straight down the center.
Let me emphasize this: WE DID NOT OVER-INFLATE THE BALL. The manufacturer-provided measuring tape, which we had CAREFULLY strung around the middle of the ball, ensured this.
The ball is too fragile, the pump is WAY too fragile, and I wish I'd spent the extra $10 for a better-quality product.
So far so good. Color shown is not accurate. August 8, 2009
Dabby D (Seattle)
I'm 5'2" and this is a good size for me. Easy to inflate. No leaks. Seems like it's going to hold up pretty well. The color of the ball doesn't bother me one way or another, but this ball isn't silver; it's pearly white.
won't stay inflated. cheap & worthless. sending it back. July 27, 2009
Helen Meyers
The pump nozzle cracked down the middle within minutes. Took forever to blow up. The "measuring tape" that came with mine was completely the wrong length. The ball won't stay inflated & on mine the stopper just keeps popping out. Cheap cheap cheap. Am returning and do not reccommend this product.
SOOO BIG! June 26, 2009
US Teach (South Carolina)
It took an entire evening to pump up the ball. Then when it was pumped to specifications per the tape measure included it was huge! This is the size according to the website for my height but I couldn't touch the floor. I had to let air out of it. I would suggest finding one in a store to see what size you really need. Other than that its fun!
