I bought this fitness ball from Argos several weeks ago and it cost £6.99 which I think is very good value for money especially when fitness things usually cost a great deal. It took about 5 minutes to blow up with the pump that came included with it and it was very easy to do. I thought I would struggle as I'm hopeless at anything at all practical but I surprised myself. You can pump it up to be as well blown as you would like it to be. I made it so that it was very firm. The first thing I actually noticed about this ball was it's smell. It does have a very strong rubbery smell that is quite pungent at first. After a day this was much ...  Read the complete review

I ended up with a pro fitness exercise ball after I used a fitness ball at the gym and liked it. I think the price of the pro fitness ball is good and the brand is a fair one that can be trusted. The idea of getting the pro fitness exercise ball was to use it at home as part of a wider regime. I think I was hoping it could be used easily at home instead of doing so when doing general gym training. The ball can be a good thing when you get used to it and it is cheap at about £6.99. I found it can be used at home but for certain exercises I didn't have enough room to move about with on the ball. I think this prohibited what I could do with the ball ...  Read the complete review

I am due to get married next year so I have embarked on a fitness routine of late to try and lose those few extra pounds and tone up so I can have the perfect body for my forthcoming nuptials. My friend recommended a gym ball to me as she uses one on a regular basis and she claims to have seen some impressive results from it. After shopping around, I found a pretty basic one in the Argos catalogue for £6.99 from the Pro Fitness range. This ball is silver and quite a decent size. In fact, I am rather short so this looked rather large to me, but decided to give it a go anyway. When I got my ball set up at all, I realised then I hadn't a clue what to ...  Read the complete review

For as long as I can remember I have gone through phases of doing sit ups every morning or every night with not a huge amount of effect, I have even tried those machines which work your muscles for you, all of which had limited effect. However last year our gym changed premises and was completely kitted out with new equipment including what looked like large inflatable balls, something that children would play with, however these balls are very effective at toning muscles and increasing stability. Intrigued by the fitness balls and how they worked I decided to do a bit of research and invest in my own (there was no way I could roll around the gym on one of ...  Read the complete review

The Pro Fitness Gym ball costs around £7 and is used for toning exercises like sit-ups. The ball has a large diameter and a good size and comes delated. Once you blow it up, which doesn't take long at all, you plug the gap with the little stopper and you have a big exercise ball to use as much or as little as your heart is content. If you do get into the routine of using it then these core exercises should provide some benefit in fitness terms. The ball is a silvery/purple colour and one of the only problems is finding somewhere good to store when it is pumped up as it is quite large. The ball is quite sturdy and easy to use if you are familar with some of ...  Read the complete review
