I've only had this ball for a little over a week, but I really like it. I've been doing exercise videos, one of which recommended a fitness ball. I never really liked using a fitness ball at the gym, but I decided to go ahead and get one anyway. Well, this is much better than what I used at the gym! Sturdy, good quality, and the right size (I learned that the ones I'd been using at the gym were too large). I've noticed there are questions about what size on a lot of reviews of different balls. Some people say that the "cutoff" between a 55 cm ball and a 65 cm ball is 5'3" instead of 5'6". I'm 5'3" and the 55cm ball is perfect for me. The balls I'd used at the gym look more like the "burst resistant" balls instead of the professional ones. The professional stability ball is definitely nicer. It was easy to pump up with the supplied pump too. I guess I'll report back if I have any problems with it, but thus far it looks like a very good purchase. I'm enjoying the exercises with it as the balance challenge adds an interesting element. Nice fitness ball!---- Some time later ----Okay I've been working out with the ball for a while now, and it's great. The only real problem is that I'd like to add more air. I've tried and tried but can't get the plug out. I can't do it with my fingernails, pliers are impossible to grip it with (and might hurt the ball anyway), sticking various items under the head of the plug hasn't worked so far. Is there a special tool I need to buy to remove the plug? I did manage to remove it once before, but over time it's become really stuck in the air. In general, that's a good thing; but for adding more air, it's difficult.---- Later ----I wrote the manufacturer and they suggested working the plug out by using 2 dimes. Or my brother-in-law did it in 2 seconds flat using a butter-knife. :) So it hasn't been a real problem. I've had the ball quite a while now, and it works great. I've done some long stability-ball exercise classes, and this is perfect for them. Very good quality.

I wanted to add to my already decent workout. I was having a conversation one day with a friend, and the topic of stability balls came up. She told me what size to look for, being short. As soon as I got home that day I put in the search for a stability ball. In our discussion, she also told me to look for a ball that came with a workout dvd. Everything that I was looking for I found in this ball: 1)right size for my height 2)not too pricey 3)comes with a workout dvd 4)has good ratings. The delivery was quick, and the pump was very easy to figure out. I pumped up my ball, and I was exercising the next day. (Keep in mind that I have been actively working out and walking for the past two years or more. I have already past the beginner stage, and I was looking for something more. I don't necessarily want to loose weight, I just want to maintain what I've already lost.)
