Champion Barbell Hand Held Fitness Ball

We use this for a senior who sits a lot. He can sit and watch tv and toss it hand to hand. This is just the right weight for him to gain some arm strength without injury.

I love this green weighted ball. I bought it because we run out of equipment sometimes in my fitness class and I wanted to have my own ball. The only thing is, I bought a 1-lb ball and now that I am stronger, I now need a 2-lb or 3-lb ball.

My son has autism and we work with an Occupational Therapist on a regular basis. Since my son seeks sensory input, she recommended using weight in various ways to help with that. These balls are perfect for my son. They are heavy enough that he enjoys them and they are sturdy enough to survive his rough play. These have enough give to them that they are easy to grab even if your motor skills aren't the best and the material doesn't get slippery enough that they are easy to lose your grip on. They also won't damage your floors if they get thrown, which is an important thing since my son loves throwing pretty much everything. Although I was a bit worried getting these because they were one of the least expensive options, I am very glad that I chose these.

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.

Thick material, nice size, easy to grip with one hand, about the size of a large grapefruit. Perfect for at home physical therapy. I’d buy another

I was looking for a 1 or 2 pound weight that I could hold in 1 hand to do dead bugs. This turns out to be perfect. I use it every day. It's very sturdy too.

I bought this fitness ball to use as a neck massager of sorts. My friend suffers from migraines, as I do, and she was told by a professional to lay with a ball like this under her neck until her tight muscles released. I have tried this with her fitness ball and it works great, so I bought this with the same purpose in mind. This ball is bigger is circumference than what I had hoped for and is not tightly packed. I needed it to be tightly packed in order to use it for what I had in mind. I released some air from it, but it doesn't do the trick. I'm sure it's great for exercise, as that is what it was made for. The ball itself seems to be good quality.

Great for strengthening hand grip.
