Champion Barbell 1266375 Hand Held Fitness Ball 3Lb Yellow, Price/each

Just what my husband wanted.

Exactly what I was hoping for.

I bought this to continue physical therapy for my elbow/forearm, as I thought it was similar to the ball I used at PT, but it's not. The ball I used at PT was uniform density and balanced - it was only 1 lb, but the entire ball was uniform and I was able to rapidly bounce it against the wall and also perform an exercise where I drop the ball about an inch then rapidly snatch it back up, and repeat. [extend arm straight out with ball in hand and palm facing down. Release the ball, then quickly grab the ball while keeping hand orientation the same. repeat until forearm muscles burn]This product however is not uniform density. It feels like there is just a bag of sand inside the ball, so the weight is correct, but the balance is not there. When I try to perform my exercise of dropping/catching rapidly the sand makes it feel unbalanced because it is sloshing around inside the ball. Similarly the ball does not bounce against the wall because the sand just sloshes around as you do it.Besides that issue there is nothing wrong with the ball. This issue is a deal breaker for me though, because I'm unable to use it for the only thing I need it for. I read reviews before purchasing, and although it was mentioned it was filled with sand, I did not realize how much of a balancing issue that would create for my personal situation.

I find weight work boring. These are comfortable and consequently I use them more often. I am gaining strength.

One of the best product's for rehab. As someone with limited mobility due to severe gout in all my joints this fitness tool along with dedication to improving one's health has gotten me back to being functional and active. If you are looking for something multifunctional for physical rehab or just to build strength look no further

I needed a weighted ball for some home PT exercises. I couldn't find exactly what my PT uses, but this seemed close. I also took it in to show my physical therapist, and she said it was perfect for what I needed, then showed me a few extra ways to use it. My kid immediately latched on to this ball and keeps it with his toys, and it was the first toy he asked to take to his grandparents' house for a 2-night visit. He's a 4yo with sensory needs, so I'm hoping to use it for some fun heavy work for him.
