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...

Awesome product that was recommended by my physical therapist to improve strength in the knees. Very durable and comes with a guide showing multiple ways to use the ball.

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

The ball works great. It is sturdy and feels well made. Only 4 stars because the flat side is really slick you will slide off if in socks, you have to have shoes on our go barefoot. It would nice if it had some grip.

Great at home trainer for all around fitness especially for rainy, cold, overcast days when outside training is not optimal. Surprisingly this trainer can be used by all ages. It is often found in different places throughout the day. It is used at least once a day even after we experienced soreness from muscles we forgot we had. Great for balance, stretching, mobility, and surgery rehab.

Better quality than expected. I was using a BOSU half ball for physical therapy and wanted to continue with all the exercises at home. This is an ideal alternative to the more expensive options works great! Comes with a hand pump (use an electric one to fill the ball if you have one otherwise it will take a while) also comes with a small pilates ball.

Loving this exercise tool so much. It comes with a great workout poster for specific muscle groups as well all body exercises. Such a great versatile gym addition. :)

This balance ball is sturdy, well-made, and perfect for my workouts. I use it for core exercises and stretching, and it holds up great. This brand is quickly turning into my favorite gym brand.
