Hi Yes, I have used them, BUT only at the Gym, as part of a supervised exercise treatment with a trainer who specialised in people who had been referred by GPs. I used it as part of a core muscle strengthening programme for back problems. The whole treatment plat lasted 12 weeks and it did give me more strength.

I would add that you need to be careful useing them on your own, as I would imagine it would be easy to hurt yourself!

Hi Holmsi.
I use one twice a week at the gym as i cannot stand for long so i sit on the ball and use the dumbells and the weights.
