Gym ball/ Fitness Ball

[MissytroN]

Hey guys n gals,

I wanted to buy a gym ball today and I've been thinking about it for a while, but I recently heard that some brands are good, and some are crap. I also don't really want to spend too much either. I've seen some that are smaller, some that are bigger, and some even have handles on them for toning the arms.

So I just want to know if anyone thinks they're any good and what they use them for and which brands are good...what should I look out for when I buy mine?

Thanks guys!!

aww i wanna help!

what do ya wanna use it for?

apparently cheap ones pop and stuff if you're a little heavy, but then if you go to a sports shop you'll pay lots for a good quality one!

if you wont use the arm things dont get them cause then they're just annoying!

and you should get whatever size for what you wanna use it for too! like if you want to put it between your legs get a smaller one, if you want to sit on it or balance on it get a bigger one

I'm no expert and have no idea what im talking about but i wanna help! haha

I like them, use them for myself and cleints, rehab and athletes and so far I bought cheapo ones from Superstore and they are fine! There are so many options and exercises to do on them and the smaller and larger are both great so either one you cannot go wrong!
