I dont know what size the ball in the beginners pilates kit, but if I put a ruler up to it, it is approximately 5"-6"

I'm not familiar with the Barre 3 core ball but can tell you that this ball has been extremely versatile. While I primarily use it for yoga and Pilates, it's strong and sturdy for other fitness areas.

Yes, the mat in this picture is exactly the same one. Love, love the mat. Hope this helps you out.

I am a little heavier than you are and about the same height and the orange ball has been perfect. I don't feel the back pains I used to. The blue one was too big to keep in the house although the results concerning exercises were as good.it is a great buy.

I use the large for my Golden Retrievers, I would guess the bigger ball is around the same size as a tennis ball.

After having purchased both I am not sure if it is the exact same product. It is very similar in texture but the tube of blue sand I got at Brookstone seems to pack better and hold its shape a bit stronger. It's also priced more steeply there at $25 for 2lbs (so buying the equivalent weight of this Waba Fun box would be about $125). Considering the price difference I'm very happy with the Waba Fun purchase and it is still a very good and similar enough product.

I don't know I got it for my friend for christmas and she hasn't used it yet. I think if you look more into the ben wa balls you could find probably heavier weights.

I'm not sure, I initially ordered a smaller version thinking it was the stability ball. If you want the large one like I did I'd order the Stability ball.

While I understand that some of the big exercise balls are "sticky", the BMI ball is not. However I suspect all these kinds of balls will pick up a certain amount of static electricity that makes them attract and collect hair.

I have the V2Max and the bigger one fits that perfectly. I suggest you contact Merrithew Health and Fitness (formerly STOTT PILATES) to get the correct answer. Sorry can't be of more help but don't want to give you wrong answers.

Andrea, there are 4 balls that are 1 1/2 inch in diameter, the small balls are 15/16ths in in diameter. My recommendation is just spring for the set. One set of bigger balls is somewhat "soft" and the other is very very firm, with a tiny bit of give. The small set is again very very firm. The set also has a band for big toe exercises. The video is great and there is a "map" of ball placement which is somewhat helpful at first. The bag hold it all together which I love. My daughter was trying to use substitutes for the balls and her rolled up yoga mat for the roller. I bought her the set and she uses all of it and reported she is finally pain free (she' 40). Hope that helps. Tina

No, the size is 1 inch and the same with those of burp gun. I remember the size of pingpong ball is bigger than that of this gun. It is about 1.5 inch(38mm). Unfortunately I couldn't get extra balls anywhere in amazon. If you want extra balls, then choose extra balls for burp gun (white color).

Hi, all I can tell you is that the large is huge. Much larger than expected. About the size of a blimp! I would call isokenetics before purchasing. Btw, the quality of the ball is top notch. Good luck.

The directions state that you are supposed to, however, I did not. The ball felt a little soft, not sure if that was the reason why. Also, I think your first workout with the ball is pumping it up by hand! Hope this helps.

according to their website, you should use the green/medium one. I wish Amazon would post the sizes in the description (or maybe I am missing it??) http://life.gaiam.com/article/top-10-balance-ball-exercise-ball-stability-ball-faqs

It does come with a ball, if you get the complete set. The ball is small, 9" diameter I think. They use it in the videos for many of the exercises.

Some are the same dimensions. The 12# and 10# balls are both 9.5" in diameter. The 8# and 6# balls are 8.5", and the 4# ball is smaller, at 7.5". I find it convenient to have the consistent dimensions and various weight options for P90X2, for example. One consideration to keep in mind, though, is that the 6# ball has noticeably more "give" than the 8, which might be a factor for you if you are looking for similar performance there. For me it is mildly distracting while doing the four-ball pushups, but not an impediment. I still prefer to have the variety of weights. Hope that helps!By the way, more data on the equipment can be found at http://www.valeofit.com. Some are the same dimensions. The 12# and 10# balls are both 9.5" in diameter.
