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: Useful ball
    Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

    I intended to buy larger ball but eventually end up with this one. I have neck problem and smaller ball is better for exercise. I did some exercise following the instructions. It did relieve my neck pain. I should buy a ball earlier.
    My baby pushes it around in his walker. It is a lot of fun. Sometimes I put him on top and bounce the ball. Worth buying it.

    Customer Review: Good for the price
    Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

    I have used this ball quite a bit with my Denise Richards "Shrink Your Female Fat Zones" video (also purchased on Amazon) and really enjoy it. It really helps with my crunches, and is easier on my back. The air pump was a little awkward, but once I got the hang of it, the pump worked fine.

    Customer Review: Good, but the pump sucks!
    Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

    The ball works well and the included measuring tape and basic exercise chart are nice added touches, but the included pump sucks. It broke after my first use! A bicycle pump would probably make a nice replacement, but I'm rather disappointed by that kind of shoddy workmanship.

    Customer Review: good for core strengthening
    Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

    You can blow the ball up bigger than it looks like it can hold. USE THE MEASURING TAPE -- it's okay! :) It won't work well if it's softer than it should be. Good buy --cheap, ships fast, works well. The air pump, the measuring tape and an exercise chart are included.

    Customer Review: Great addition
    Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

    I do not regret buying this ball. It's an excellent help in doing situps. Although I did find out once it arrived that I'd chosen the wrong ball size for my height. The description doesn't give the equivalents of ball sizes to heights. But it still works.
