Overall View:

This ball is great. I originally got it to work out and get fit, but I have also found that it helps to stop my back aching, as I often get back ache, and it is also very comfortable for just sitting around on.

Ease of use:

The ball is very easy to use, as you can use it in lots of different ways, for lots of different things.

You will need to get some sort of foot pump, as it doesn't come with one, and there is no way that you can blow it up by mouth.

The ball comes with an instruction sheet which gives you approximately 10 different excercises to do with the ball. These are all very simple to follow, and have diagrams to help explain them. The information sheet also says that the ball can be used as a seat when working at your computer etc. Personally I don't think that I could use the ball for that as I like to have a back support when at the computer. I do often just lounge around on the ball though.

As I mentioned above, the ball is really good for stopping my back from aching too. I often get back ache from sitting in front of a computer all day at work, as my joints stiffen up. I find that when my back is hurting if I go home and bend backwards over the ball until my head touches the floor and just 'hand' there for a while it stops my back from aching.

Accessories:

The ball simply comes with the instruction manual and a stopper to keep the ball inflated, but I have seen plenty of books around with many more excercises in if you want anymore

Buying:

I got my ball from Argos, and it cost me £12.99, but I have just had a quick look and they are now only £9.99. I'm sure that most good sports shops will sell then too.
