"Oh Hail Exercise Ball!"

Yes. This is exactly what I ordered.

However, this isn't exactly what I expected.
The color was right. It is just the size that kinda surprised me.
A neighbor had one of these exercise balls. I don't know yet about the exercise factor (you just can't rush into these things) however, if you lean backwards over it, oh my God. It feels so good to the back it is unreal. My back anyway, which is giving me fits lately.
So, this is how things in my life work.
I go to borrow the neighbor's exercise ball. (she don't use it and she has 2 anyway) Fine. Mine wasn't due to come til Fri. This was Tue and I didn't know how I could live on without one. So, naturally, upon arriving home with hers, I immediately assumed the backwards position. AHHH.
That was just toooooo good.
The next day. Mine came. I thought that this would have to be odd to have borrowed hers overnight. But, none the less, I pumped my new one immediately up as per directions (I normally don't do directions) and pumped and pumped and pumped. Even re-read the instructions to double check so this bad boy wouldn't blow up in my face. Sure enough,I was doing it right. It seemed like it would never reach it's size. There is a band thing that goes around the outside of it and when it is taught, you are done. I would pick it up and there would still be slack. You gotta be kidding me and the bigger it would get. That is why I put the milk jug there for comparison in size.
This thing is huge. I am 5'9" and good Lord. I had to put it away when we went out so the dogs wouldn't think it was for them or gonna attack them for that matter. I couldn't fit it though the door. I did get it in my room squeezing it though, but, not in the closet or bathroom.
It is gracing the living room right now. I haven't figured out quite where it's new home is gonna be, or if I have to build it a room. However, now, my neighbor can have hers back and my back will be getting better treatment and more limber.
Intimidating as it may look, it's here, and it will work.
I have also read that they are good to sit on at the computer for your posture. This one would be a little high. But, the next size down would work!

Til next time,

Just me
