Sports reviews of Valeo Burst Resistant 65cm Body Ball (Pink)Customer Review: not an ideal fitness ball...I received this ball and pump a week ago and am highly dissatisfied. It came with a hand pump, an instructional DVD, and a "measuring tape." The measuring tape is just a long piece of paper without any markings on it other than a hole punch on each end, and it is the wrong size. The instructions indicated that you wrap the measuring tape around the ball and overlap the hole-punches over the inflation hole to guide you in pumping it up to 65 centimeters. My husband and I spent over an hour trying to pump it up and the ball will not pump up very well at all (perhaps more due to the hand pump than the ball, but we're not sure). Also, the measuring tape that came with it to serve as a guide is completely too large! We pumped the ball up as far as it would go, and there is still about 10 inches on the measuring tape! Also, the instructional video, which I will mention here is not an exercise video like I thought it would be, says to pump it up so there is just a little bit of give when you push on the ball and it should not flatten when you sit on it. Now, I only weight 115 lbs, and when I sit on the ball it completely flattens down to a squashed donut instead of a round ball. It can't possibly be used for working out as it is intended. We have continued to try to inflate it more, to no avail. If anything, we're only getting a triceps workout from continually trying to pump it up! It is inflated as far as it will go, but it just isn't firm enough or perhaps it has a slow leak or something??? We're at a loss, but I'm very disappointed that the ball cannot be used for it's primary purpose. It has, however, filled another purpose. IF we blow it up right before using it, we can sit on it and bounce our colicky baby to sleep. This has worked quite well, actually, but I still have to go out and purchase another ball for exercising safely.
