LifeProHalf Balance Ball Trainer - Stability Ball for Exercise, Full-Body Workouts, Home Gym, and Physical Therapy - Non-Slip Equipment for Balance Training

As a ‘young’ boomer I have to say this Lifepro Horizon Balance Ball Trainer is terrific! Older adults have to choose their workout equipment wisely due to flexibility and balance restrictions, but this exercise half ball will allow us seniors to make that decision easy. This ball is helping me improve MY health at MY pace and will make me stronger and more vibrant, in the process. I know…I did the research and have also used similar half balls in physical therapy!Here are just some of the features I’ve noticed:• The nubs have it - non slip ‘nubs’ provide a stable, textured surface to stand on• Inflation tool is the fasted hand held inflation tool around! I inflated the half ball and yoga ball in acouple minutes!• Ball is light, easy to lift and move, compact in size• Easy to follow instructions and large workout chart shows precise visuals of suggested exercises• Use with other Lifepro products and get multiple benefits – I first step onto my Lifepro Rumblex PlusVibration Plate to loosen up my muscles and joints, then I do a short workout on my new LifeproHorizon Balance Ball. I am amazed at how energized I feel after just a few minutes on this compact“half moon” ball!• Attach your own resistance bands for additional exercise choices – or, you can purchase these bandson the Lifepro website www.lifeprofitness.com under the Shop ---> Accessories tab.• Improves my balance, stability and flexibility - My ankles and knees already feel stronger after usingthis half ball only a short time! My favorite move is to place the yoga ball between my knees andslowly squat, hold, and rise again (while focusing on a picture on the wall to keep me in balance). Ialso like using the resistance bands to build my upper body.A few Precautions for the Boomer generation (and younger others, too):• Wear shoes, socks, or bare feet – just use caution with socks slipping on hard floors. I use my unitwith bare feet or socks to get a better “feel” of the ball, on my carpeted floor.• Do be careful mounting/dismounting - position the ball near a chair or a wall to catch you if you loseyour balance, especially at first! Having a chair handy is very helpful when getting up off the unitfrom a seated position, too.• For bad knees...step onto and off ball with your good knee first to avoid pain or instability issues.You’ll learn the best exercises for your situation.• Keep the goal in mind – your goal is to hold certain positions while forcing your muscles to be stable.I like to focus on an item on a wall in front of me. The focus helps me to stabilize myself, works like acharm.I think the Horizon Balance Ball is far above the competition due to all the reasons I stated. Plus, I love their customer service team because they’re very helpful and courteous to me...hard to find nowadays. I’m so impressed with this product and I know other boomers will feel the same. In fact, your whole family will enjoy it too! I know mine does...

Easy to fill. Comes with everything you need to get started. The workout guide was a nice touch. Seems like decent quality. Have used daily for 2 weeks with no issue

I have loved this product! It is so nice to use for strength training, balance training and stretching! I would always recommend this product! And I love that I can use it on either side.

Been looking for a used bosu on facebook but ended up buying this one instead due to reviews and price. Was afraid it would be cheap, thin and flimsy but it's the opposite. The ball portion is thick! I'm talking like baby's got back thick! The plastic mount round the ball is also very sturdy. Got this thing inflated up in just a few pumps...I guess what my wife says is true!Lots of reviews of people having hard time airing it up. From box, the air hole is blocked by the TDC of the ball. The straw doesn't help but all you need to do is just push/roll the edge of the ball that has space to the center then air up! Only 4 stars for now...will update if this thing holds air for at least a month.

These are better than the ones at the gym. They are nice, strong, sturdy. Love it!

Great quality. Easy to inflate. Love that it includes a workout booklet and poster.

Purchased to work on core stability due to decades of abuse in special operations. This holds up to normal use as well as the daily molestation of my circus act called children. This is my second purchase of this product due to a frustrated k9 friend popping it. I would say I’d buy again, but clearly I did. Worth it.

Boso ball dupe. Was recommended as part of a recovery program by our physical therapist after an ACL tear and an ACL surgery. Works as well as the original for a lower price. Comes with a poster that shows all the exercises you can do with it, a pump and a small light ball. Ideal for the rest of the family who does not have any injury but wants to use it as well for fun or fitness. Also received today an additional free gift (agility mini). The company owners definitely stand behind their products.
