I use this at work. I don’t use a standard office chair, I use a stool on wheels. This helps me build my core strength by sitting it on the seat.

Good for increasing balance by standing. Builds stronger legs.

For the price and size of this; not to mention the simplicity!!-you just can't go wrong!! I haven't even tried the DVD that came with it, I've just gotten ON it! While trying to keep my balance, (on one leg, or sitting) I do a variety of things--leg lifts, knee to chest--or while sitting, I try to maintain a 'V' with my legs and uppper body. I can FEEL my muscles working, even if I'm just standing on one leg! As I've gotten older, I don't seem to be as coordinated, and this is really helping. I highly recommend it. Just try different positions, balance yourself, and try to do it for several minutes a day. It does a world of good!

This disk came nicely packaged, and filled partially with air. It does NOT come with a pump to fill it up if one needs it to be a little fuller; however, a simple bike pump works. I filled it a little more because I bought it to sit on at my computer, so I sit up straighter. I have only used it one day, but do far it is very comfortable and supports my core well.

I purchased two of these to continue my physical therapy at home. They say you can inflate with a bicycle pump, but it was extremely hard. You would be better to do it with an air compressor.

As several reviewers mention, this disk works well as a back support. I've tried several lumbar supports that are actually intended for that purpose and this one works better than them all! I love how a piece of equipment so small and portable is so versatile.I've found a variety of ways to use this disk. For example you can lie with it under your hips (on the floor) for a nice stretch. Of course you can do standing balance work on it, but you can also use it as a head rest in lying down stretches or experiment with placing it under different parts of the body in floor exercises. I also use it conjunction with the two little green balls that come with the Miracle Ball Method by Elaine Petrone. There are even more things I could do with these disks if I just had two instead of one. In short, this little piece of exercise equipment is useful for far more than I imagined when I bought it!The disk is good quality, and after reading many reviews for others that mentioned problems, I've been glad I purchased this one. Though I haven't needed to add air, I'm glad that I can if I want to. (some companies makes disks that you can't adjust).

I bought this to help me exercise my hips and to help me sit more comfortably. I recently had a hip replacement and I need to do a lot of balancing exercises to strengthen the new hip. When I sit it helps to have my hip above my knee, especially in my car with the low bucket type of seats. This cushion fits well in all kinds of car seats.I would definitely buy this again!

I use the core disk for my in-home therapy program for my achilles tendon. I had used a similar device when I was in physical therapy. It is a great help to create better range of motion as well as strengthen my calf and ankle. It's sufficiently challenging.
