Bender Ball 9" Pilates Core Fitness Small Exercise Ball — Green, Non-Slip, Anti-Burst (with DVD)

The Bender Ball 9" Pilates Core Fitness Small Exercise Ball is a compact, non-slip stability ball that boosts core engagement, balance, and flexibility for home exercise.

Compact and portable, the 9-inch Bender Ball is designed for Pilates, barre, yoga, and targeted core work. Made from anti-burst material and finished with a grippy texture, this lightweight ball supports up to 300 pounds while remaining easy to pack in a gym bag or suitcase. The included instructional DVD guides beginners through practical exercises so you can safely add the ball into your routine and get measurable activation of abs, obliques, back, and glutes.

How does the 9" Bender Ball improve balance and stability?

The small diameter creates an unstable support surface that forces stabilizing muscles to work harder, improving proprioception and control. Because it’s non-slip and rated for heavy loads, you can use it under your lower back, between knees, or beneath feet to challenge balance without fear of sudden deflation.

• Anti-burst material for safe, steady resistance
• Grippy texture reduces sliding on hard floors
• Supports up to 300 pounds for reliable use
• Compact size targets specific muscle groups

What exercises can I do with the Bender Ball to strengthen my core?

This Pilates-sized ball can be used to intensify classic core moves and add variety to stretching sequences. It fits easily under the lower back for small-range crunches, between the knees for inner-thigh activation, or under the hands or feet to increase instability in planks and bridges.

• Mini crunches and pelvic tilts with lower-back support
• Inner-thigh squeezes to recruit adductors and pelvic floor
• Plank progressions placing feet or hands on the ball
• Bridge lifts with ball between knees for glute focus

Is the Bender Ball convenient for travel and small-space workouts?

Yes — weighing under six ounces and measuring 9 inches, this ball fits into most gym bags and suitcases and is ideal for hotel room or office workouts. Its durable construction means you can store it inflated or partially deflated to save space, and the non-slip finish works on tile, wood, and carpeted surfaces.

• Lightweight design for easy transport
• Small footprint fits limited spaces and storage cubbies
• Works reliably on different floor types thanks to textured surface
• Comes with a DVD to guide portable workout sessions

How safe and durable is the Bender Ball for regular use?

The ball is made from anti-burst PVC that slowly deflates instead of bursting, providing an extra margin of safety during exercises. Its non-slip coating helps maintain position during movement, and the 300-pound weight rating ensures suitability for a wide range of users and workout intensities.

• Anti-burst material reduces sudden rupture risk
• Textured, non-slip surface prevents unwanted movement
• 300-pound capacity accommodates most users
• Compact size minimizes leverage that could cause tears
