Ball Small — 9 Inch Small Exercise Ball

As a personal trainer with over 15 years of experience, I’m always looking for simple, effective tools that deliver results—and this ProBody Pilates Small Exercise Ball is one I’ve consistently come back to. I’ve actually had mine for years, and it still works great! This is a fantastic tool for improving core and glute strength and overall stability. I use it regularly in my own workouts and with clients of all fitness levels. For glute strength, one of my go-to exercises is an adductor bridge. Start lying on your back in a hooklying position (knees bent, feet flat), place the ball between your knees, and squeeze for 10 reps. Then keep that squeeze and perform 10 bridges. Repeat for 2–3 sets—simple, but very effective. For the lower abdominals, lie on your back with your legs in a tabletop position and the ball between your knees. Squeeze the ball for 10 reps, then add 10 heel taps to the floor while maintaining that squeeze. This really challenges the lower abs. A helpful tip: make sure your low back isn’t taking over—if you feel it engaging, just decrease your range of motion. Those are just a couple of examples—there are so many creative ways to use this nifty little tool. I also love the practical details: the bright color makes it easy to spot, the price point is very reasonable, and it’s simple to refill with a hand pump. The ball feels durable while still being comfortable to use. Another big plus is how great this is for my elderly clients. It’s lightweight, approachable, and easy to use. It is great to help increase adductor strength by squeezing the ball while seated for about 10 reps. We can also use the ball to challenge adductor strength by squeezing the ball while completing sit to stands. I also use it to help improve shoulder and thoracic spine range of motion. For the shoulder range of motion I have clients hold the ball while seated and reach overhead. For thoracic spine mobility I have clients hold the ball with two hands while seated and rotate side to side. Overall, this is an incredibly versatile, reliable, and user-friendly piece of equipment that I highly recommend. Whether you’re just starting out or more experienced, it’s a great addition to any routine.

This ball is very sturdy and just the right size for a lot of different uses. I have used it as a bolster for my hips and also between my ankles and knees for leg lifts. It is easy to inflate and you can adjust the level of inflation to whatever you need.

It works very good for my physical therapy on my arthritic back!!!

Good round shape, easy to inflate. My only gripe it seems to lose pressure over a few weeks.

Great soft ball, perfect size to do knee squeezes. We bought it for Pt for my husband because he broke his femur. I’m sure it would be great for many exercises.

This is exactly what I wanted. I thought I was going to need a pump but was surprisingly able to blow it up myself within about 10-15 seconds. Perfect for my knee therapy.

Easy to inflate. Easy to exercise with. I'd buy it again.

While this ball is functional for what I need it’s is cheaply made and I don’t see it lasting very long

Ich habe den ProBody Pilates Ball für mein Home-Workout und Physiotraining gekauft und bin sehr zufrieden. Der Ball hat genau die richtige Größe und Festigkeit – weich genug, um angenehm zu sein, aber stabil genug für Übungen für Bauch, Rücken, Beine und Gleichgewicht. Besonders bei Pilates- und Stabilitätsübungen merkt man schnell den Effekt. Die Muskulatur wird gezielt aktiviert, und man kann viele Übungen intensiver gestalten. Auch für Dehnübungen oder zur Entlastung des Rückens ist er super geeignet. Der Ball lässt sich leicht aufblasen, hält die Luft gut und ist klein genug, um ihn überall mitzunehmen. Preis-Leistung wirklich top – klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, die ihr Training abwechslungsreicher machen wollen!

Perfect for Pilates class exercises. Good value and quality.
