our unboxing & test video of the "Pluto" gymnastic
comfortable and robust seat ball
who sits much and not always in an optimal position, gets usually sooner or later a problem with his back. A sitting ball for the Office or as sports equipment for gymnastics is effective and helps relieve pain, immediately, because it is forced on him to have a healthy attitude. There are however large differences in the quality of the ball of seat. The valve is not tight, is too busy as with seats more inflation. The ball is too big or too small not optimally supports the posture. If then the material even more bad smells of chemistry, you would like to use it also. To indicate to you all advantages and disadvantages I thoroughly tested the gymnastic "Pluto" by DoYourFitness, in the size of 65 cm diameter. Armed with this information, you can weigh for himself, whether he is the right exercise ball for you.

my ball has the color blue and 65 cm in diameter and weighs 1.3 kg. The rubber material is environmentally-friendly according to the manufacturer, skin-friendly and Hypo-allergenic. The ball and the valve very robust and well processed. I could not find out what exactly the "Pluto" is made. The surface has 18 grooves on each rich to the whole ball. The hand pump is very rudimentary but meets manufacturer has provided a size chart their Zweck.Der on its website in which well can be read, which diameter is ideal for which body size: height appropriate fitness ball diameter up to 140 cm 45 cm up to 155 cm 55 cm up to 175 cm 65 cm up to 185 cm 75 cm up to 190 cm 85 cm over 190 cm 95 cm (at the "Pluto" does not exist)

practice test
when unpacking a chemical smell was noticeable. After a few days, he was indeed better, but not completely went away. The size of 65 cm is a bit too small to me. With 178 cm I'm just over the border and would have greater should order prefer a size.
The training
Since I am still a novice in training with the exercise ball, I chose two of the easier exercises.
Drip down
In this exercise, sit on the ball and finds the feet on the ground and stretch the arms upwards. Then one rolls back again to the rear so that the back on the ball and then. It was not as easy as it sounds now, since it takes awhile until one slips away by rolling the balls not to the side. But if you only go out the bow, the exercise is very effective, because multiple muscle groups is somewhat addressed.
Push Up
Push-Ups are a little challenge without the ball. With the ball, you must in addition maintain balance, which significantly increases the difficulty. Again, it takes some practice to perform the exercise correctly. Besides the arm muscles, also the abdominal muscles is greatly troubled. An effective exercise that I managed to initially only eight times in a row. The air outputs, to stow the ball again, I had problems again pull out the valve. I took a pair of pliers with a rubber coating, because I wanted to try anything with the teeth because of the smell.
Care of the gym ball
the "Pluto" is very easy to clean. Simple wiping with a damp cloth is sufficient to clean it. Only, make sure that it is completely dry before you let out the air and store it folded. You can keep of course, if you have sufficient space available, also pumped him. After three days i ntensiver testing, he had lost no air.
Conclusion
The fitness ball "Pluto" by DoYourFitness is a good seating for people with postural and a sophisticated sports equipment. The fine size vote, which should be for any body size the right exercise ball in is very nice. The very clean processing has some of it probably a long time. I would replace the pump with a better, although she served her purpose, Yes. Who don't mind the smell, should find the suitable for him or her and to do something for the back.
