Description of Valeo Body Ball (55 cm)

55 cm. Exercise ball. Includes a wall chart illustrating step-by-step exercise program and a high volume air pump.
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.

    Sports reviews of Valeo Body Ball (55 cm)

    Customer Review: Size may be an issue
    Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

    I orgianlly ordered the white ball withut realizing that it was meant for people shorter than I am (5' 9"). The Amazon page for it never mentioned that different balls were for different height users. When the ball arrived the sizing was made clear on the box. So I returned it and ordered this ball (Blue, 65CM) which is meant for my height. Having used balls in my health club, but without ever noticing their size, I was surprised at how large 65 cm was. When properly inflated this ball is too large for me; many of the exercises one does with these balls require wrapping the legs around the ball, which is difficult when it is too large. On the Amazon order page for this (blue) ball and the larger (red) ball, the size/height relationship is stated, and I do fall into the range of this 65 cm ball. But it is simply too large--a fact you can't realize until you inflate it.

    Customer Review: Professional Quality!
    Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

    After using an exercise ball (for the first time) during physical therapy treatment for back pain, I decided to buy one for home use.
    This Valeo ball is of the same quality as the professional brand used by therapists. It's sturdy, stable and has the flex-factor to accomodate different body weights.
    Be sure to select correct cm size for your height when purchasing.
    The package comes with an air pump and measuring tape to ensure proper inflation.
    I highly recommend!

    Customer Review: Great workout ball
    Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

    I purchased this ball initially to do pilates on the ball. It comes with a poster that explains several exercises and stretches that you can do on the ball. Its sturdy, and is a pretty pearl color. The pump is not that great - takes a lot of time and will come out of the ball if you're not careful, so we used a different pump. The ball itself is great and at a good price.

    Customer Review: Does What It is Supposed To
    Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

    Ball appears to be made of quality material. The pump is not hard to figure out. You do have to pump for awhile to get the air in, but you are done in under ten minutes. They include a measuring tape that you put the pump through so you know what its inflated just right, which I thought was useful. I'm 5'2-5'3 and the ball was a good size.

    Customer Review: Even better than expected
    Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

    At 5'1", this stability ball is perfect for my height Although the photo shows the ball to be a silvery color, mine is actually a pearly white, which I prefer. Working out with the ball is fun, so it makes it seem much easier. My abs and arms really felt it the next day.
