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: order this if you are short
    Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

    only order this if you are less than 5'3" which i am - it is actually a bit too small for me altho i can use it ok for my purposes - my grandson inflated it easily with the foot pump sent with the ball - good strength and texture

    Customer Review: Strong and pliable
    Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

    I gave this to my son for christmas and while we don't do a lot of body ball exercising, he uses it to sit on while watching tv. I have found that he thoroughly enjoys it and it keeps him moving even while being a couch potato.

    Customer Review: The ball
    Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

    The ball it self is great it is the pump I found not so great. It is very hard to use and it fell apart many times. The ball could use something to stop the air from coming out after you have filled it. But the ball is great.

    Customer Review: So far so good. Color shown is not accurate.
    Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

    I'm 5'2" and this is a good size for me. Easy to inflate. No leaks. Seems like it's going to hold up pretty well. The color of the ball doesn't bother me one way or another, but this ball isn't silver; it's pearly white.

    Customer Review: Great Ball!
    Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

    I love this ball! I find that I have to pump it back up after a month or so, but maybe it's just how it's supposed to work? I really enjoy this ball paired with Gaiam's Balance Ball DVD. Great workout for the core!
