I don't know the name or product that you are referring to.

But if you're referring to a yoga ball, any one will do.
I have this one, the 55cm one.

What are you trying to achieve w/ your physique? I can help w/ tips and let you be aware of gimmicks (like the TrimSpa junk).

I have the Core Secrets System - it has the ball, etc. It is by Gunner Petterson. We like it!

Walmart sells those exercise balls in 2 different sizes. They are probably cheaper than ordering online. You'd have to get the correct one based on your height

My FIL bought two at Wal-Mart awhile back - they were $16-20 each. One has the nubbies (spikey) and the other is small. He got the bigger ones because his chiropractor (sp?) told him to use those for his back. Well, I don't think he ever used them. So, he spent about $40 on something that he will more than likely never use. I can't remember what I paid for the core system that we got, but it came w/ several DVD's, excercise instruction cards, etc. --but it wasn't very much! I think we actually got it for $20!

I use my yoga ball to do 500 crunches on every other day and it has done WONDERS for my stomach. I would definitly reccomend it!

Villette-I don't think the ball is necessarily an accident waiting to happen but it can seem a bit awkward if you're not used to it. It's good for strengthening your core. I like my exercise ball. I used to use it a lot and I have a a few DVDs that have "ball workouts" but I've been doing more strict pt strengthening workouts and stretches since I injured my back.

Jenn218-I already had DVDs and other equipment so I only needed the ball--and it was a replacement ball since I gave mine away--so it was cheaper for me to buy just the ball. BUT that's a pretty good price if you need all that other stuff
