Getting into the swing a new exercise routine (whether it’s related to the New Year or not) it can be hard to get started and stick to. And that’s especially true for an exercise regimen if you’re not enjoying it. But that’s not the case for the nearly 26,000 Amazon shoppers who have incorporated the Urbnfit Exercise Ball (Buy it, starting at $12, amazon.com) in their lives and subsequently gave it a five-star rating.
This exercise ball is, in one word used in almost 100 reviews, “fun.” It’s designed with what the brand calls “anti-burst” technology, which means it can withstand the weight or sudden pressure of up to 600lbs thanks to the high quality PVC material (many buyers have put it to the test). It’s coated with a non-slip protector, so it won’t shoot out from under you when you lean on it to stretch or work your core. It comes with a pump for quick and easy setup, and the ball is available in five sizes and 11 colors to fit just about anyone.
For today only, the Urbnfit exercise ball is up to 51 percent off, depending on the size you choose.
This ball can be used as a desk chair to help improve your posture and engage your core while working 9 to 5, to deeply stretch your lower back, as a stability ball during a Pilates workout, during HIIT exercises, and more. Buyers with a variety of different needs have said that this ball has helped them achieve fitness goals, they find relief from aches and pains, and it has just been an overall nice new addition to their lives.

One reviewer wrote who used the ball during their pregnancy to help them stretch and deal with sciatic pain and noted that their husband made sure it was safe and sturdy before they used it.
“I’m a plus size and not very coordinated so I was really worried it might burst or fall off,” the buyer wrote. “My husband took one for the team and fully tested the ball before I got on it and it was the most fun to watch, but it also demonstrated the anti-burst claims this ball makes. It was bouncing everywhere, launching its weight on it and basically trying to pop its best ability and nothing happened the ball took all the abuse that being said now that I’ve been using it I can say I have one of the best stretches I’ve ever been able to do in my lower back using this ball.
another addition that the ball is a “great product at a great price,” but suggested making sure you’ve filled it completely from the pump before trying it out.
“The ball is very solid and very comfortable,” he wrote. “The material provides a good grip, so you don’t feel like you’re slipping all over the place. If you’re doing basic work, I’d suggest filling it more than you think. [because] you just want a little bit of giving so you can get the best basic training.”
