Double chambered inflatable stepper can be used for lower extremity exercises, balance training and vestibular orientation. It can be used to improve coordination and motor skills. The two chambers are connected by a valve which adjusts the air-flow (level of difficulty).
Our most economical model. If you only need an air pump to occasionally inflate your exercise ball or other small inflatables, this will do the job, but larger models are recommended for frequent users or for larger inflatables. User notes: This hand-held, small-sized air pump is easy to carry and store. With the small shaft size, it does take a lot of up and down strokes to fill a 65cm exercise ball. Our test required over 350 up and down strokes to fill the ball. If you pump at a steady pace with no breaks, it should about 4 minutes to fill a ball.
5 Stars Amazing Pump – in such a small form factor!!
This pump is great. It’s so tiny that it fits into almost any drawer. But when you need to pump up your chair, it really works!!
I bought two, because they were quick inexpensive, and I am very happy that I did. Those two pumps should last me ten years…!!
4 Stars Pump it up!
A perfectly portable inflation device. It provides a decent physical work out as well. about 800 pumps later my 75cm balance ball was inflated.
5 Stars works well, cheap
I wanted a cheap pump for my exercise ball that wasn’t poor quality like some of those that come prepackaged with swiss balls. This one works well for me. It does leak air out of the back when the ball increases in pressure, but pumps the ball up well anyway. Like the other reviewer said, if you have wrist or arm troubles it may be better to go with another type of pump, as this one requires manual pumping (less than 10 min for a 65cm ball).
4 Stars Good Product
The product is good for inflating balloons. However, inflating balls as it claims is real challenge; especially, people with tendentious. It is a sleek design but not that user friendly. It is made out of plastic and after a few usage it makes a squeaky noise.

3 Stars Needs a Better Instructional DVD
My review is mixed. I like the balls that come with this kit–you get three and there are other kits that cost the same and deliver only one or two balls, however, the DVD is not what I was expecting since the exercises demonstrated on the balls are too few.
I am looking for another DVD from some other instructor to unlock the potential for this tool kit.
I have a number of Rodney Yee DVDs and I really like his approach to yoga, but having said that—I can’t rate this DVD very highly as an instructional tool for using the balls. Yee only demonstrates a few massage/exercise options with the balls and spends most of the DVD doing yoga with a student–without incorporating the balls.
So the balls are great, the single neck, lower back, arm and stomach instructions he gives–really minimal–are good, but limited, and for an instructor of this calibre I would have expected a much more nuanced treatment of the potential of the balls to ease muscle tension.
Granted Yee is yoga oriented and he’s not likely to to omit yoga altogether, but realistically people buying this particular kit would benefit from a more extensive focus on exercises that can be done directly on the balls, not after a yoga session.
So should you buy it? If you are really looking for an all over tension releaser–something to show you what all these balls can do –then no.
If you have neck issues, lower back issues –then you might want to get the system and just stick the balls under your neck and lower back as instructed. But you can use two tennis balls to the same effect and roll your lower back on them–also feet and hands on one, and then put two under your cervical spine at the base of the skull for your neck.
I had a nueromuscular therapist teach me how to do that. You can probably google for the same. I was hoping for a little more instruction from Yee.
Just FYI, the other main product of this type at Amazon has the same issue in its customer reviews. The DVD does not really offer much in the way of instruction.
hope that helps
best,
Karen
4 Stars Great Stress Relief
These balls are wonderful. I’ve had problems with my back and neck for years and these balls really help. I use them to release the tension in my muscles before I start my yoga routine. The DVD is not the type of DVD that you watch over and over. It is merely an instructional video that shows how to use the balls. Once learned, there are endless possibilities!
5 Stars Rodney yees yoga ball therapy
This product is simply fanstatic. Great at getting right into and gently but deeply massaging and relaxing the muscles of the back,shoulders,neck and abdomin. A truly great product. Rodney Yee is a great yoga teacher. I recommend this product for anyone who has muscular tension and wants to learn to relax.
5 Stars Great for back pain
I rarely go a day without using these yoga balls! I try to use them every morning first thing when I get up. Relieves all the tension, aches and pains to help the rest of my day go much smoother. Also goes great with the book “Ultimate Body Rolling Workout”. Gives you more things to do with the larger ball. I liked these balls so much I bought these as a Christmas gift for some one else…who loves them as much as I do.
3 Stars you may need patience
I have been using rodney yee’s videos over the last 2 years and was excited to try this new yoga system. I have to admit I was pretty disappointed the first time I used the system. It was basically just laying on your back with the balls underneath. I had my husband try it out to see if it was worth keeping. He seemed to enjoy it more than I. I kept at it and I am seeing progress. It seems to work best in conjunction with Mr. Yee’s other videos. It is a good “cool down” option for getting at those hard to reach areas that hold tension.
Inflatable disc with extra-large surface. Smooth surface on one side, sensory points on the other. Air pump required for full inflation/adjustment. Size: 22″ in diameter. Color: Blue.
Dancing on exercise ball to Dragon Ash and fall with grace. The trick to falling is to make it look planned all along.
