Looking to Buy a Ball?

Are you looking to buy a ball or mat? Exercise balls are no fad. Exercising with an exercise ball has been proven to assist in strengthening core musculature. So, if you are looking to buy a ball they're also much less expensive than they were years ago. From an economical  point of view they are cheaper than a bench, yet can be used in place of a bench. They take up little space and are easily stored. So, what are you waiting for? 

Exercise Balls

Available in five sizes to fit users from 4 feet, 7 inches tall to 6 feet, eight inches tall, the Thera-Band Exercise Ball is ideal for physical therapy, yoga, Pilates, and/or for general core strength training. The Thera-Band Exercise Ball comes with a guide poster detailing 24 exercises to help you get started, as well as two plugs and an inflation adapter. The ball can be inflated with a standard pump (not included).

This is a professional grade, burst resistant ball. It's a little more expensive, but well worth the peace of mind if you are on the heavy side, pregnant, or lifting weights. Thera-band has an excellent reputation in the physical therapy community.

Exercise Mats

For those who want a more eco-friendly mat to use when you buy a ball, our fantastic Yoga Monster mat is now environmentally friendly. We call it Clean PVC, an eco friendly yoga mat made of PER (Polymer Environmental Resin), which is a unique material that is more sensitive to the environment and your health than yoga mats made of standard PVC foam. This mat does not contain toxic phthalates, dioxins and furans, phenal, or heavy metals and has a ecologically safer method of production which is better for the workers and the environment - and most importantly it performs great for all types of yoga with excellent traction and cushion!
Why should you be concerned about exposure to Phthalates? Because phthalates have been linked to a variety of health problems including endocrine disruption, obesity, diabetes and allergies. Studies from many continents indicate serious toxicity and health problems due to phthalate plastizers found in consumer products. Common plastics, such as pvc foam used in typical yoga mats can contain 10% to 60% phthalates. Phthalates migrate to the surface of the mat over time and use which increases phthalate concentration on the yoga mat surface. Our CleanPVC yoga mats are SGS certified tested to non-measurable levels and far exceed the strict European phthalate standards. 

Small Dumbells

Color-coded vinyl coated solidiron dumbell, 15 pound Vinyl coated, color-coded cast iron dumbbells are ideal for upper body exercises, for physical therapy, or for light workouts. Vinyl coating gives weight a comfortable feel. If you are looking to buy a ball or weights these are a good option. Product photo may not exactly match the product offered for sale.

Larger Dumbells

If you want to get a good strength workout at home, but don't have much space, the Bowflex 552 SelectTech Dumbbells are an ideal solution. Newly designed, the innovative pair of 552 SelectTech Dumbbells combines 15 sets of weights into one using a unique dial system. It's one of the most space-efficient and flexible strength-training options available with its unique and effective design. With just the turn of a dial, you can automatically change your resistance on each dumbbell from 5 pounds all the way up to 52.5 pounds of weight. It adjusts in 2.5-pound increments (up to 25 pounds).

Ankle/Wrist Weights

Features of the Valeo Adjustable Ankle/Wrist Weights: Adjustable metal "D"-ring closure system allows weights to be worn on ankle or wrist. Self-grip closure for fast application. Soft padding for extra comfort. 10 lb. set has removable weight packs for adjustment from 2 - 10 lb., and a double-strap closure for a secure fit. Sold in pairs. If you were to buy a ball these would give you added resistance when performing upper or lower extremity exercises.
