After my wife and I watched the Bender Ball video on Youtube we became intriqued, but as I mentioned, I was scarred from my fitness club membership and weightlifting experience. I couldnt bring myself to jump into this new way of exercising. So, sadly, I let a lot of time go by before I ordered my Bender Ball. But as I mentioned before, my wife had become friendly with the cousin who first told us about the Bender Ball. My wife is a very smart lady, and she invited Nancy, her new friend, over for lunch one Sunday afternoon. And she clevely brought along her Bender Ball. It was so light and easy to take along. Nancy then showed me the way to use it, and I was really astounded! Even I could easily use it. When I did the crunches Nancy explained how there is much less back strain when doing abdominal crunches with a Bender Ball. And there are lots of ways to use it. And best of all, in only about 10 minutes each day you can start to see good results. I was excited and ready to order a Bender Ball of my own.
