What Size? What Kind?

If you are considering buying an exercise ball here are a few tips to help you make a wise decision.

Tip #1:

When the Ball is inflated it should be about the same height as your knee.

Typically a person 4’7”-5’ will need a 45 cm ball (45 is the diameter/ height).

Typically a person 5’1”-5’6” will need a 55 cm ball. Click here to purchase your Valeo Body Ball 55 cm

Tip #2:

Spend a few extra dollars to buy a burst resistant (or anti-burst) ball. Although stability balls rarely burst, it makes sense to spend an extra $5 to get a burst resistant ball. The burst resistant ball has a special design that will cause the ball to slowly deflate if it is punctured (it will not pop like a balloon and leave you on the floor).

Tip # 3:

Once you’ve purchased a ball, regularly check it for cuts scrapes or punctures.

Tip #4:

The ball will tend to lose air over time. If it feels really deflated, simply add more air with the special pump that comes with most ball purchases.
