Customer Reviews


This is the best chair I have ever owned. After years of suffering with chronic neck and back pain caused by sitting in various office chairs, I discovered the Ergo Chair. I sit up straighter and can actually feel the benefits. I have tried other ergonomic chairs, but they didn't feel anything like this. I also like the fact that the "footprint" of the chair is small enough to fit my desk and that it looks very professional. I am going to buy 2 more for my family.

This ball seems to be of the same quality of those at the YMCA. I was concerned that it would deflate or that it would burst. Neither has happened. I am pleased that it is a sturdy ball.

Good durable ball - I have several pieces of Isokinetics fitness equipment and have not been dissapointed with any of them.

Definitely professional grade, unlike what I had before. Instructions are easy and complete, ball is perfect for exercising, stretching, pilates and core and strength training. It is everything it was advertised to be.

I bought the 55" exercise ball. It is perfect for my hight (5'4"). I liked how when I was buying this item, that it gave you a scale of ball sizes to your hieght. The ball came with an exercise chart the gives you some examples. Don't forget to buy an air pump if you don't have one. I would have forgotten that if a friend didn't let me about it.
I like it a lot though, and highly recommend this brand for an exercise ball.

Thera-Band Hand Exerciser - Available in Two Sizes - Single Packs

Product Description


Thera-Band Hand Exercisers are specially formulated polymer-based exercisers available in progressive levels of resistance in five translucent colors. Two sizes (standard and extra large) accommodate most hand sizes. They're used for hand, finger and forearm strengthening, as well as hot and cold therapy. Progressive resistance in different levels of compression allow each exercise to be geared to the patient. Use the standard size hand exerciser for smaller hands. The Extra Large size was designed for arthritis victims and people with larger hands who are undergiong physical therapy or strength training. An elongated ball, it is one-third larger than the oringinal hand exerciser. Heat in a microwave for 5 second increments and test to find the ideal time for each microwave unit (all microwaves are different), usually no more than 15 seconds maximum. Cool the Hand Exerciser in a refrigerator for 1.5 to 2 hours. The softer yellow and red models fill the gap between putty and spring devices and they're not as messy as putty. The Hand Exerciser is made of a patented non-latex polymer developed specifically to allow full range of motion of the hand and fingers with a consistent resistance throughout the exercise.

Product Features

  • Available tensions from 3lbs to 17lbs force at 50% compression
  • Use the STANDARD SIZE hand exerciser for smaller hands and the EXTRA LARGE (XL) SIZE for larger hands or for people with arthritis or limited hand mobility
  • For hand, finger and forearm strengthening
  • Allows full range of motion with consistent resistance throughout the range

Customer Reviews


I initially ordered a different set of hand exercise balls here on Amazon. I only used them briefly as I suspect they may be made with toxic materials (they have a very strong petrochemical smell and that odor lingers on your hands and fingers after use). So I decided to give the Thera-Band hand exerciser a try. I ordered the medium one (green) in XL and I really like it. It feels great in my hands and it looks and feels like it will last for a long time. The added benefit is that you can heat or cool the ball before using it. As another reviewer wrote, get the XL size rather than the regular size. After trying the green ball, I ordered the extra firm ball (black). So I warm up with the green, and switch to the black after I've loosened up a bit. Very nice product. If you have reasonably strong hand strength, I would minimally start with the green. I will probably order the blue to complete the set of what I would need.

This is the most user friendly, helpful hand exerciser I have ever tried. I am 77 yrs old with arthritis and I keep one by my bed, and one by the TV. Easy to pick up and play with and it's not a big deal. I recommend the XL even if you have small hands. It isn't much larger than the small one but the shape is easier to use. I have the red and the green ones. They are the least resistance but for my hands they work perfectly. If you have any stiffness in your hands and/or fingers, these really feel good and keep your hands more flexible.
