The Bender Ball Review

When i purchased this ball i thought it would be a good quality exercise ball and to my dismay it was a ball i could have purchased @ toy r us for my son for a dollar!!!i couldn't believe the cheap little device(basically a plastic straw) they send you to inflate the ball. which btw doesn't fully inflate.i couldn't believe i paid 20 some odd dollars for a piece of crap..then when i tried doing the AB workout the ball moved all over the place when i tried to use it(as so demonstrated in the dvd).I'm not a very big woman..i'm very petite,5'1 103lbs, and i basically got this to tone my abs(i have baby tummy weight thanks to my 18 month old!!!lol). To me it really sucks to buy something not worth using..so i decided to use it as a squat ball.I put it againest the wall with my back to it and squat...it works well for those!!But as far as an AB exerciser it hurts your back and deflates even faster when you use as an Ab ball..For people with bad backs I don't recommend this at all!!!!!I have a bad back..i've had one since i was 16 and this just aggravated the issue after i used it...like i said great squat ball..lousy ab ball!!!
