I haven’t used it yet because the off-gassing of the ball’s material makes me ill. Also, the smell/compounds transfer to one’s skin…. Very disturbing. I’m not sure I’ll keep it because of this. For such an “earthy” company, I’m surpirsed their products appear to have no regard for the environment and reduced VOC’s. Perhap there is information available on the material. Right now, I feel like I neeed to leave it outside for a month or two.

I just recieved my abs ball and the first time I tried to use it the dvd is freezing up, I had read this in many reviews before purchasing so I was aware this could happen, but was hoping I would get lucky… guess I will have to call and try to get another one sent before I can use it.

I had no waist-a tire of fat where it should be. Victim to the low-rise jean fad, I suffered from plumber’s butt and bunched-waist in the back of my jeans. I decided something must be done. I smoke, previously did no exercise, and have a couch potato lifestyle.
After using the abs ball for two weeks (2-3 times a week), I felt tighter in my waist. I saw no definition, but jiggled less. After a month, I could feel my obliques inderpendently of my lower and upper ab muscles when I exercised. This helped me execute the exercises better: when I first started, I could not feel any muscles at all when I exercised, which caused me to rely completely on mimicking the tranier on the dvd when attempting to do each exercise correctly. Now I know when I am working the right muscles! It has been two and a half months, and I am beginning to see a waist!!! I can wear my jeans from high school!!! All my old jeans fall off of me now, and though I do not yet have a 6 pack, all of this happened without me doing anything else-no cardio, I still smoke, and I have not dieted (I just switched from simple carbs to complex carbs whenever I can). I just recently switched to the advanced workout this week, and still sweat! This is a great little ball-do the exercise 2 to 3 times a week and stick to it, as it won’t let you down.
