Good point but it equally applies to other strength exercises as well. If you only do barbell curls, you wont get nice thick legs or a neat 6-pack. The powerball does affect several muscles, from fingers to biceps and triceps, but obviously not the muscles it doesnt give pressure to, like calves or abs. For such muscles you need other training methods. Like the electronic vibrator stickers. Hehe, just joking. :D
I think the ball is best used in support of "real" gym training. Warming up, relaxing the muscles and general strength exercise.

That is exactly what I wanted to say, I know a lot of people who only train their upper body(they dont train their legs), and this totally ruins their body proportion, they have a huge upper body, a sixpack, a strong back but their legs are tiny. :D
And the legs need to be able to carry yourself around the whole day.



Legs are already strong enough? The more you weigh the stronger your legs are?

Idk lol just saying that because this kid who weighs 500 lbs can leg press 650 but cant bench a damn thing, But i can only leg press 450.(220 lbs)

You always want your legs to be a lot stronger than just being able to hold your own bodyweight. :P
