Isokinetics Inc. Adjustable Back Exercise Ball Chair - Black 52cm Ball - Free Pump

Isokinetics Inc. Adjustable Back Exercise Ball Chair - Black 52cm Ball - Free Pump Review



Isokinetics Inc. Adjustable Back Exercise Ball Chair - Black 52cm Ball - Free Pump Feature

  • The only chair of this type with a weight-bearing, adjustable seat back. See description for details
  • Includes a 52cm ball and a starter pump
  • Bonus - Comes with a free "no-guess" exercise ball tape measure for proper inflation
  • Rolling base with 4 wheels, 2 of which are lockable
  • 21"W x 22"D; seat back adjusts from 32" to 34"; seat with properly inflated ball 25"H before sitting
The Isokinetics Inc. Adjustable Back Exercise Ball Chair is the first of its kind to include a weight bearing, adjustable seat back. Similar chairs seat backs are designed only to provide position guidance and balance assistance. With our seat back, you can lean back and relax, like in a regular office chair, or position it on your lower back to provide additional support, reinforcing a proper, upright sitting position. Isokinetics Inc. Ball Chairs are the same quality products sold by others, but we bring them to you direct from the manufacturer. No middleman means there is no need to pay more! And, we provide all of our chairs with a 1 year guarantee. As an additional bonus, we provide a free exercise ball measuring tape that takes the guesswork out of inflating your ball. Sitting on an exercise ball while at home or work promotes flexibility, coordination, motor skills, core strengthening, and balance. Your body, when positioned on top of an exercise ball, is constantly making small adjustments, often imperceptible, to remain balanced and thus is constantly exercising a large group of muscles in doing so. By strengthening your body's core muscle group you help improve your posture, have better balance and guard against back injuries. It may take time before your body becomes accustom to sitting on an exercise ball, since your core muscles may not have gotten much exercise previously. Start by using it 10 to 15 minutes a day and gradually work your way up. If you have had back problems or injuries, make sure to consult your physician or therapist first. Note: We provide a small pump for free for you to have a way to inflate your ball. However, exercise balls require a lot of air and it will take a lot of pumping with the free pump. So, you may want to consider purchasing at this time a high volume air pump, especially if you use exercise balls a lot or have other things you often inflate, like pool toys or air mattresses.

Isokinetics Inc. Brand Exercise Ball Air Pump - Heavy Duty - Black

Isokinetics Inc. Brand Exercise Ball Air Pump - Heavy Duty - Black Review



Isokinetics Inc. Brand Exercise Ball Air Pump - Heavy Duty - Black Feature

  • Heavy duty design, pumps on the up and down stroke, inflates and deflates
  • Air chamber capacity: 2 liters (1/2 gal.)
  • Nomical pressure: 14.5 psi
  • Length: 18", Nozzles: 6
  • Time to inflate a 65cm exercise ball: about 1.5 minutes
Same design, same manufacturer as others only at a manufacturer direct price. No middleman means you save. All that's different is a lack of a fancy box and graphics! Our biggest, sturdiest model. Good for exercise balls and small to large inflatables. Has well anchored hoses to handle higher pressure situations and 4 nozzles to fit almost anything. Built for heavy use. Notes: You need your feet to anchor it but because of its larger size you don't need to bend over as much as other models. You can tell by using it it is built for heavy duty use. Our test only took 75 up and down strokes and less than 1.5 minutes to fill a 65mm exercise ball. One feature on this model that may be handy is the way the air hoses lock in place. If you have higher pressure inflatables or you want to put all your weight into pumping it, this will keep the hose in place and not pop out under pressure. It also deflates, which is great for shrinking items down as far as possible for storage.

The 65 centimeter ball is recommended for people who are 5 feet, 6 inches to 6 feet tall and the suggested weight limit is 300 pounds. The ball is not recommended for use with weight training routines.
