BIO Sports Water Resistance Ball for Low Impact Full Body Pool Workout - Alternative for Foam Dumbbells

Love this under water ball! I have a hard side Intex and can still bounce off sides and bottom, dribble, play back n’ forth between friends. It’s a good workout and super fun! Get this! I don’t know what the huge difference is in the cheaper kid style watermelon one is, maybe I’ll get one out of curiosity? But this one made my pool workout so fun this year!

I bought this to exercise in my pool as an addition to my other items. Easy to use and offers great resistance for a good workout. I started the exercises, finding the ball does not move in a straight line but with a few adjustments, I got into a groove. I can make the workout as intense as I want. The workout sheet made it easy to start a routine but I can see myself inventing a few new moves as I got used to this. It feels durable so I leave it in the pool for my son to mess around with. It’s been a couple of weeks and the ball seems to tolerate the abuse pretty well:)

Great exercise and rehab device. Great customer service…we mistakenly threw away the fill needle, and they immediately sent us a replacement. My only criticism is that I wish they wouldn’t include political materials in their packaging. I don’t need to be preached to with my exercise products.

I recently bought a house with an enclosed, heated inground pool that I can swim laps and exercise in year round. I’ve done aerobics and dance on land for years and I’m teaching myself aquatic exercises for strength, stamina, and balance. I’ve never seen anything like this ball and love it. I can dribble the ball like a slow motion basketball and either hand, which is great for coordination and building strength. Because the ball has a little bit of air it, in addition to lots of water, it is somewhat buoyant. It takes a bit of force to push it down in order to bounce it off the bottom and to control it as it comes back up. I exercise to a playlist to help me keep a steady cadence and to make exercise more fun. I get in a lunge position with my legs in the shallow (3’) end so that my shoulders are just under the water then dribble the ball off the bottom with one arm (the opposite leg in front sort of galloping forward). Then I switch the leg that’s lunging in front and the arm that’s bouncing the ball for another 8 to 12 counts. I can also bounce the ball alternately between two hands while in a wide legged stance in the shallow end. Bouncing in deeper water is harder to control, so I’m mainly use it exercising in the shallow end. It is really hard to explain these exercise and the sensation of bouncing a ball full of water, underwater if you’ve never done it before! Perhaps it’s a little like bouncing a ball on the moon where gravity is different. I’m so glad I gave it a try!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Fills with the hose. No air pump needed. Great for water aerobics at home.

This is amazing!!!!!! This is the best for working your core AND your extremities while having fun. Can be used by yourself or with a workout partner. Been a therapist over 30 years and I think it is the coolest/most versatile tool to have at your dockside. The only draw back I have had is the weight of the ball makes it an exercise carrying in and out of the gym

Does anyone have a hard time maintaining your grip on this ball? It has a slippery surface, and as I took it above my head, it totally slipped from my grasp hitting me full force in the chest.

Quality!
