There is no doubt that using a balance ball forces you to develop the core and can make a lot of exercises much more effective.
However, I paid almost twice as much for my first balance/exercise ball at the place that was recommended by my trainer.
These are every bit as heavy duty and seem as durable. In fact, I was able to get a size that was more ideal for my height -- that wasn't an option when I made my
first purchase -- so several of the exercises like pushups are much more comfortable...so I do more of them!

I'm not sure what the review before me means, this massager is too strong for me!
It has roller bumps that stick out and rub into your back and it hurt mine.
I called in to talk about it with their customer service and they told me that this is what "shiatsu massage" means, that there are bumps or rollers or something that pushed into your muscles. I guess I wanted just a kind of massager that vibrates so I'm going to return this one.
I gave 5 stars not for the product because I didn't like it and will return it, but for the customer service I got. They took the time to explain about the different styles of massages and I guess I didn't understand when I bought this one. If you have any questions call them BEFORE you buy, it's really helpful.

My kids got me this lovely, lightweight, comfy back pillow for mother's day to use at my office.
The memory foam makes it very adaptable. The picture shows it used on lower back. I had it upside down and in the middle of my back because thats where it was hurting and it still worked just fine. It is wonderful as a lumbar pillow though, even without the vibration!
The cover is very soft, and a very pretty dark blue. It's zippered on, and underneath that is another slipcover over the memory foam. It's got adjustable straps to you can get up from the chair and not lose that perfect position. The memory foam is so comfy and the cover so soft, I even used it to pillow my head without the discomfort you'd usually have from using a mechanical device as a pillow!
But heres the very best part of all. Its battery-operated -- two little AA batteries you can get anywhere -- so there are no cords, and you can take it anywhere. This is
definitely going with me on my next long car trip! When I am not using it to give me lower back support, I will likely be using it to pillow my head against the window.

I like this massager but the speed and heat's a little weaker than I expected.
Pro:
The shiatsu movements are fairly complex and effective.
The vibration is subtle but sufficient.
The spacing between nodes fits my spine
Con:
While it generated heat through the movements, I didn't feel
much heat coming from the device itself. Since it's summer in a bit, that's not horrible though.
It would be nice if it had a handle. Its small enough to move around, but for the same reason it ought to have a
handle to make it easy to position in different places on the back, or to grab it to move to my legs. It's small enough to move easily without a handle, but I would have added one.
Even at fast speed it's pretty slow. I would prefer to have one speed that moved a little quicker when I need the stimulation, but I like really really strong massages.
