Amazon.com Product Description
Get the sculpted abs you've always wanted and increase your overall fitness level with the Bender Ball Mini Ab Ball and The Bender Method of Core Training. The Bender Ball comes complete with a 6- to 9-inch Bender Mini Ab Ball, the Bender Method Manual, and the Bender Method of Core Training video. Developed by master trainer Leslee Bender, the Bender Method and Mini Ab Ball gives you a workout that's up to 408 percent more effective than ordinary crunches. In the Bender Method, the combination of each ab sculpting move with the method of Selective Stabilization cranks up the intensity and targets the muscles you want from all sides--including your upper abs, the sides, and hard-to-reach lower abs.

The Bender Ball Workout allows you to work your core in ways you can't do with standard crunches or large exercise balls. With a regular crunch on the floor, your motion is limited to going forward, not back. With the Bender Ball, you are able to get extension back and flexion forward, which works your muscles more effectively for faster and better results.

Ball is good, but beware the continuing DVD program
I got the Bender Ball for my daughter for Christmas. She likes it a lot, and still uses it. I've used it a couple of times, and it does seem to make doing crunches a little more comfortable.

However, if you order from their website, be very careful to opt OUT of this special program they have. It's very deceptive, in my opinion - I never noticed that I was "signing up" for this, until the DVDs started to arrive and I began noticing charges on my credit card. The first time I tried to call and cancel, I called 4 separate times from different phones, and they kept telling me they "couldn't hear me", although I could hear them fine.

I disputed the charges on my credit card, and as of today I talked to an actual person and cancelled the program. I have sent the DVDs back and am reasonably optimistic that the charges will go away eventually, but I'll still be out the postage to send these stupid things back.

Ignore the DVD, but the ball's worth it
I agree with the first reviewer: the DVD is useless. But then again, most exercise DVDs are. You've got to keep in mind they take all kinds of supplements and probably have personal trainers working with them 6 days a week. And if they're any kind of successful, they can afford medical procedures the other 99% of us can't (or just won't do). If you've ever seen the commercial for this, the only truth to it is the "flexion and extension" part: you need both motions to really work your muscles to their fullest extent. The ball is good because it allows you more room to move, depending on where you place it under your back. So if you buy this at all, get it for the ball (which is the perfect size for ab workouts) and ignore the DVD. You can find free workouts online anyhow.

Same as a Gertie Ball kids toy
The Bender Ball is the EXACT same thing as the "Gertie Ball" kids ball made by Small World Toys. The only difference is that the Gertie Ball is only $6 and comes in different colors :)
