When I first got this ball, my plan was to use it as an office chair. I measured and measured and read different recommendations from several different websites. I finally decided that 65 cm was likely the right choice. Now that I've gotten it, I've decided that was too small. So I'm using it for exercise instead. I'm 5' 10.5" with very long legs and I'm not sure if the 75 cm would even be large enough to comfortably use as a chair. I'm going to try some different balls and see what works best. I'll update once I figure it out.
Otherwise, I have nothing bad to say about this exercise ball. It is made of a nice thick rubber. It inflated easily. They instruct to inflate to 80%, wait 24 hrs, then inflate the rest of the way. I followed those instructions and had no problems. The hand inflator they include works fine but is quite tedious. My family was teasing me that I was doing a ton of work and making zero progress, but air was being added slowly. If you have an electric air pump, that would make short work of it.
The ball itself is very sturdy. I feel very comfortable putting 250+ lbs on it. My son also loves to take it and roll it around the living room. It is not weighted, so it rolls like he expects it to.
I also use an exercise ball when I'm in labor, so I look forward to having this one around (along with a couple of other sizes) next time I'm pregnant.
I'm very happy with this ball, and it's a reasonable price.
I received the product mentioned above for free or greatly discounted in exchange for my review. Regardless, I only recommend products I like and use personally.
