great 5 out of 5
This is identical to the one I use at the gym I go to. I like the fact that it is already inflated. It is a perfect size.
Harbinger Core Balance Trainer Review 1 out of 5
I found this balance trainer to be too small and difficult to utilize for full body balance. With less air, one could not stand on it, and with more air, balance could not be maintained as needed for the physical therapy exercises I must do.
Good product, but check size 3 out of 5
I bought this without paying attention to the dimensions. Completely my fault, just didnt give it a thought that they made them this small. I have used these in my local gym, but they are twice as big.
My main complaint is the istructions. I know, you're thinking "how hard can it be to use a ball?" Specifically, I would like to have had some direction on how far to inflate it. It comes inflated, but I am not sure if it is inflated to the level it should be, or if it has lost some air sitting in wharehouses, getting heated/cooled in transit, etc. It also does not list a weight limit, so I guess it's OK to loan it to my 350lb neighbor.
Otherwise, it is fun to balance on with one foot, sit on for pilates type moves, and to use for pushups. It does roll side-to-side when on it with one foot but this is mainly due to it's small size and POSSIBILY inproper inflation. I will continue to research how far to blow it up.
Older & Balance 4 out of 5
Not too long ago MDs started focusing on the balance issue, particularly in older patients. Good tool.
Just OK Balance Discs 2 out of 5
I've used several balance disks before, and these are pretty disappointing. The edges should be more rigid so it doesn't feel like stepping on an under inflated ball. The plastic material is too thin.
