Ah, that's better.....
I purchased the Natural Fitness 75cm fitness ball to replace the 75cm TKO ball that I had to return because it was in fact only around the 55cm mark.
Guess what? This one (also manufactured in China) is also short of the mark.
Fully pumped and tight as a drum I can get it to around 68cm. As I'm using it as a work seat the height really is a big deal, and because of some ongoing injury problems I really have to be sure that it works for me. The TKO was a bit of a disaster in that regard.
HOWEVER, this ball turns out to work quite well for a 176cm or around 5'9" reasonably slim woman.
It has a nice texture, slightly rubbery, and not at all slimy or 'peeling' as I saw in one review. They must have made some improvements which is great to know.
It also doesn't seem to attract fibres and dust. A huge plus in my opinion.
The colour, for those like me who find that to be really important, is just slightly lighter than how it appeared on my screen and has an almost pearlized effect. I would have preferred it to be darker, but I find it an easy to live with colour.
Overall I'm pretty happy with it so far (just 2 days) but as I mentioned in my review for the TKO, SOMEONE PLEASE SEND A CORRECT METRIC MEASURE TO CHINA!
I have to order from Europe which means the shipping costs are not a lot of fun, so correct product descriptions are more than appreciated.
good work-out ball
I've used this for several work-outs. The pump that comes with it did a good job with inflating the ball. I laid it on a yardstick to get it to the recommended diameter. I did not get the DVD with the ball. However, I use ball workouts on Exercise TV, and Fit TV (Tape the All Star Work-outs)
Too small
I thought everything about this ball was great, except that I was only able to pump it up to about 44 cm, not 55. I wanted to use this as a desk chair, but it turned out just too small. Other reviews here say they just kept pumping and expanded the ball, but I found that after a certain pressure, air was leaking back out through the cheap hand pump they provided. Maybe if I had a higher quality air pump of my own I could have gotten the ball up to size? I don't think the ball is really meant to be filled to 55cm though.
Very Pleased!
No complaints. This ball is everything that I hoped it would be! Being 8 months pregnant, I find it to be the most comfortable seat in the house. I use it as a desk chair when at the computer, and take it to other parts of the house when a comfy seat is needed. I love it!
Non Toxic, Fabulous Color, Great Value!
This ball is fabulous. It's non toxic and phthalate free and wonderful for increasing balance and core strength. I love the unusual and pretty olive color. It comes with a dvd, air pump, and as part of the Zero Impact Program, a tree is planted with each purchase. It's a great value for what you get. I like to use it to aid stretches, sit ups and push ups--makes a world of difference.
Being the visual creature that I am, I really appreciate the unusual colors Natural Fitness offers in their products. If you love your gear, you will enjoy your activity more. And with these tools available, there is no reason to buy the standard, often toxic equipment.
