just chiming in to say I really like the Fitball DVD. I wish Cheryl Soleway would make more!

And unlike Barb, I prefer the fitballs to the Yamuna balls.

Fitball

Lianne, I really like my Fitball too. It smells like white chocolate

But it loses air really fast...I'm thinking of calling them and asking if that's normal. I use it maybe three times a week, and have to add a bit of air everytime. If I only use it once a week, I have to add quite a bit. Are yours like this, or should I call them?

Too late for me Lianne! I finally lost control and ordered the Yamuna red ball. Moments ago.

Oooh, I'm glad to hear that, because I ordered one. My Fitball stability ball smells a bit like baby powder--not vinyl/rubber/whatver-ish at all, unlike the Core Secrets ball (which I sold).

I also ordered the Cheryl Soleway DVD. I really like her two stability ball workouts.

I like the Fitballs but they lose air really fast. That's why I prefer Yamuna's. Also, I'm still waiting for them to replace my defective ball....I guess I should call them again.

Martha: I didn't know that Cheryl Soloway made other videos. Which ones do you recommend?

She did the Upper Body and Lower Body workouts for Fitball. Collage has clips if you'd like to check them out.

Jane, the outside of the fitballs is more like a basketball - they have a slight texture whereas the yamuna balls are smooth and I find them slippier and harder to control.

Sophie - I don't have the air problem at all. I would try and get yours replaced.

(And I shouldn't say this as Sharon has already ordered, but my fitball is black.)

Barb - so that IS normal for them?

Hmmmm. Well, it's kind of a nuisance, but not horrible, I guess. I do like the texture and feel of the ball - kind of nubbly.

My green Petrone mini-balls have to re-inflated regularly too, now that I think about it.
