FAQ’s – Exercise Stability Ball

 

Due to the higher quality and strength of our ball’s material, it may be more demanding to inflate than lower quality balls. Following are some suggested guidelines:

  • To ensure proper form, blow up over 2 days
  • Remove the white plug to be able to insert the pump
  • Inflate the ball to 80% of its stated size, replace the white plug to stop deflation
  • Leave for 24 hours before inflating to full size
  • You can measure the size by making a mark on a wall at a height of 55, 65 or 75 cm from the floor, and inflating until the ball is level with the mark
  • Do not over-inflate
