Everlast 24-Inch Inflatable Ball with Pump

I''ve had this exact exercise ball for at least 2 years. My mother, brother, and myself all use it. I am a 200 pound gym rat and I can tell you, this is the best ab tool you''ll ever need. My brother is 250+ pounds and the ball has never popped/leaked. I am actually purchasing another one today because my brother is moving out and wants one for X-Mas.

Just put on the TV and do crunches during your favorite shows!

I started a weight loss regimen about 6 months ago and managed to lose 25lbs, but still had a pot belly. I read that using the exercise ball would help tone the abs and as it does not cost much, seemed a worthwhile investment. The ball inflates easily enough; I had to repump every week as there was some leakage of air. The booklet that came with the ball had a few pictures, but not enough information. I would recommend a instructional DVD for anyone serious about using this. After I started using the exercise ball, I did notice my midsection becoming flatter. I still have a long way to go.

So...why only 2 stars? I weigh 160lbs and the ball is rated for 300lbs...yesterday it burst. I would definitely buy again, just this time a ball with a higher weight rating.

The pump that came with the ball was easy to use, and I was shocked at how quickly I was able to blow up the ball with it. Not saying it didn''t hurt my arm, but I''m quite out of shape hence the fitness ball! It really just took a few minutes, and it was blown up. I was a little confused at first about how to fit the pump into the hole, but once I got that figured out, it went very smoothly.

The ball itself is very easy to use, and it works really well.

The "fitness guide" that it comes with is nothing more than a small piece of paper with three or four exercises drawn out. I was thinking it was going to be a DVD or something. For $15 though, I can''t complain about that.

I think it''s completely worth the $15 I paid for it.

I love my Everlast ball! I am a woman who wears Everlast workout gear because it works so well at pulling off sweat and I bought this ball because it was the only one I could find at 24" (the others seem to come out at 22", 26", and 30"). I own four fitness balls for different workouts ranging from yoga to Pilates to cardio fitness and this ball was the perfect size for many of them, at least for me. I believe that for many men, it would be too small. At the same time, the material is the strongest, most durable, and thickest that I''ve seen. But the hole seems to leak air. Perhaps I did not put it in as securely as I should have.

Also, the pump that comes with the ball is AMAZING. It works at least twice as fast as all of the others, including foot pumps, which are more of a pain because they require all that assembly.

It does come with a poster showing different exercises. It''s a nice start but I would recommend purchasing it with the right DVD.

Easily inflatable, and works great. Make sure 24" is what you need, it''s not as big as I thought it would be, but is sufficient.
