fabulous dvd, ball too small January 4, 2009
Angela D. Phillips (memphis, tn)
I have a few of the older Firm dvds, so I knew the one that came in this kit would be great, and it is! However, the ball is too small to do some of the exercises properly. I'm 5'3" and ordered the 55cm ball as recommended, but I'm returning it to get the 65cm. The moves using the ball in your hands are fine, but when you have to lay on the ball, it's just too small and you're too close to the ground to get an effective range of motion.

Great workout! November 4, 2008

This was my first time working out with a stability ball and I love it! It has a little bit of texture which makes it easier to stay on and the dvd with Allie is great and easy to follow. I found muscles I had forgotten about. :)

firm ball too small after a week November 1, 2008
S. McGregor (Seattle WA)
I ordered this ball to use as a chair in my office occasionally. I liked the color so I decided to pay a little more and get this one. The pump that comes with it works fine and I was able to pump it up without much of a problem although it does take a while. I was disappointed that the ball was not the shiny green color it looks like in the picture, it is actually a pearlescent paler green but still not bad. Originally the ball blew up to only 50cm, but it does indicate that the ball will grow over the first few days. Basically over the course of the next week, by sitting on it and stretching it I was able to get it to about 60cm but it was still smaller than advertised and way to small to use as a chair for a person who is 5'8.

Stability Ball - 55cm "The Firm" September 14, 2008

I love this ball. Like some of the other stability ball reviews, I thought at first it was going to be too small, but it's not (I am 5'2"). The 65cm would have been too large I think. It has a DVD workout video with it. Comes with a hand pump - I used a different pump to inflate the ball faster but at least it comes with one. Like the instructions say, the ball appears small at first, when first inflating. Over the next day or so, the ball adjusts and you pump in more air.

Like the color too! Would recommend.

Great workout for beginners but ball is small May 31, 2008

I am a beginner with trying out these new exercising techniques so this workout was definitely worth-it! After the first two workouts, I can feel my abs burning, and there's a slight difference in my waist and flatter tummy.

The only problem I had was that I couldn't keep up with the workout at times because of the size of my ball. I'm 5'5 so I got the pink 55cm as recommended, but I should have gotten the green 65cm.
