Valeo Ball - Christopher Draper, Oct 30, 2009

I was dumb enought to think that it was a good sized ball. It is about the size of a yoga medicine ball.

looks bigger than it is - M. Blazek, Aug 09, 2009

Do not buy this if you are expecting a full sized medicine ball. This one fits in the palm of your hand

Good fitness ball for home use - fro, Jun 15, 2009

This is a great thing to have around the house for the times when you can't get to the gym. The box includes a sheet with some sample exercises, which is nice when you are not feeling creative. I look forward to buying more in different weights.

Minor Problem - Martial Tam, Jun 13, 2009

This product is great and so far I had no problem with it all but I got a letter through the mail that said something about this product being recalled because if you inflate it too much it can explode and cause some injuries.

Maybe they have fixed this problem now cause I got it awhile back.
So other than that problem, this product is good.

It is smaller than I'd imagine. (A little bigger than a baseball and smaller than a basketball.)

5" diameter means 5" diameter - J. Liu, Jun 07, 2009

It's obviously my fault for not realizing what 5" diameter means, but I was surprised to find this quite a bit smaller than I was expecting. This actually ended up okay (once I bought a medicine ball that was closer in size to what I was visualizing) because certain lifts work better with a small ball, especially one that be gripped with one hand.

The ball does need a tiny bit of air pumped in before use (a needle is provided in the packaging), but it is a little annoying to have the inner volume be 80% sand, 20% air, which you can definitely feel.

This is a very simple product and, paraphrasing the immortal Dennis Green, "it is what we thought it was" (just make sure you think it's a 5" ball).
