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: great exercise
    Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

    I'm glad I added this exercise to my workout session. Don't know why I was loosing my balance, but this workout helped me regain it.

    Customer Review: Works great for me - I'm 5'2"
    Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

    I know some other reviewers had concerns about the sizing charts being accurate. This ball worked fine for me at 5'2".

    Customer Review: I like the size
    Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

    I am happy with this ball because of the size for my height. I assembled it with no problem.

    Customer Review: Good exercise or stretching ball
    Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

    I bought a couple of these balls to stretch my back and to occasionally do light bench/military presses on. Balls are balls. Nothing really remarkable here, so I'll comment on the build-quality. The construction appears solid and as are the others in my home that I've been using for 2 years. The included foot pump is compact and brightly colored like a kid's toy (yellow and blue plastic). It takes a LONG time to inflate the ball with it. I stopped counting after 300 pumps. I alternated feet and got tired from the pumping. I would suggest a bike pump instead.

    Lastly, the ball has a slightly greasy feeling from the manufacturing process. I always wash my balls before using.

    Customer Review: Nice Body Ball
    Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

    This is a really nice ball for the price. The biggest thing I would say about these balls is that each color is a different size, not just a different color. I only knew about that when I read the reviews (my thanks to whoever pointed that out). Even though Valero suggests anyone over 5'9" (I think) should get the blue ball which is 65cm. At 5'9", I prefer the smaller 55cm since that is easy to wrap your legs around and it's just a very manageable size. It also takes up less space in a smaller room. I would definitely order this one again.
