Bender Ball Review
What You Should Know
The Bender Ball program is a workout technique that targets the abdominal muscles. When you order the program, you receive a “Bender Ball,” which is a soft ball that is placed under the lower back while you work your abdominal area. You will also receive two videos that demonstrate exercise routines using the ball. The company Web site claims that the program will give you a more effective workout than regular crunches.
The Bender Ball was developed by Leslie Bender, a personal trainer and fitness instructor who believes that core strengthening is an important aspect of getting in shape.

Product Features
The Bender Ball is designed with a slip-resistant surface for working out. The ball can be deflated or inflated slightly to work different areas of the abdominals. It is smaller than many traditional exercise balls, and the company claims that the Bender Ball is 200% more effective than a large ball. The program includes two short videos that offer guidance in targeting the upper, lower and side abdominals through exercises with the ball.
Advantages
- The Bender Ball allows you to exercise your abdominals in a way that basic floor
crunches do not. - If you use the Bender Ball diligently and appropriately, you are likely to notice
changes in the definition of your abs and waistline. - The company offers a 30-day money back guarantee on the Bender Ball (the
customer is responsible for paying shipping and handling as well as insurance charges on returned products).
Disadvantages
- The Bender Ball is pricey compared to similar products that can be found
elsewhere. - This program only focuses on core strengthening and toning, so for potential users
who want a full body workout or have other target areas to work on, the Bender Ball will yield limited results. - The videos that accompany the Bender Ball are short, providing limited
information and inspiration to the user. - Many people will find the Bender Ball workout more tedious and repetitive than
other workouts, and it may not seem worth the time to gain the desired results. - Online and phone orders of the Bender Ball often include additional hidden
charges that the average customer might not recognize.. - The awkward positioning of the Bender Ball during the workout can potentially
cause strain to other parts of the body.
Conclusion
The Bender Ball method offers a more intense approach to exercising the abdominal muscles. It can offer superior results to basic sit-ups or crunches if it is used frequently. Unfortunately, the workout is tedious and can possibly cause strains and injuries to other parts of the body.
The Bender Ball itself is not a unique product. There are many products on the market that can serve as similar workout aids. The Bender Ball is costlier than some of these products, and ordering the program may cost even more in the long run if the buyer is not cautious about avoiding hidden charges.
If your target area is the abdominals, the Bender Ball may offer some aid in strengthening and toning that area. It does not provide a full body workout or benefit any problem areas outside of the abdominals.
