Hers FB 55 Exerball Review

I was very disappointed to open the box this ball arrived in, only to discover it came in lavender, not the lovely dark turquoise pictured.Beware of this.There is no color choice, and assuming the image indicated the color resulted in a big waste of time.I hope AMAZON refunds my original shipping charges, as well as the return shipping costs.

Hers 100 Giant Exerball Review

If you're only going to use this product for light use, its great.Anything else, don't bother.
The material is rather thin though (and gives quite a bit when fully inflated), so if you were going to put more force on it, I'd go with a different ball.
One of the kids I babysat started bouncing on it (and not very forcefully even), and we have now had two split in the past month, and not even along the seam but diagonally across the ball, indicating that the integrity of the material itself isn't exactly up to par.

Hers MS 68 Mini Stepper with Bands Review

I love this little piece of equipment! It's small, quiet and easy to use. Just put on some music and you're good to go!
Pro: It came nearly fully assembled. All I had to do was attach a cable around a wheel and screw in the workout bands to the front.
Con: Like the previous reviewer, I too had trouble screwing in one of the bands. It went in crooked and I needed pliers to turn in to get it all the way in.
Pro: In the beginning, I could only do a few minutes. 3 weeks later I'm doing 35 minutes and about 1200-1500 steps. The resistance is stronger when you first start up. As you keep going, the hydraulic thingies get warmed up and are less resistant, but that's when you can really go faster and get your heart rate up.
Con: I ended up taking off the workout bands because using them threw off my balance and my rhythm. I use hand weights instead. I also do my workout near a door where I can hold on if I need to. There is another model that has a handle. I would recommend that one for people who are afraid of losing their balance.
Pro: My pants fit better now because my thighs and butt have gotten noticably smaller! It really works!
