Choosing the right size exercise ball depends on your height and the type of workout you plan to do. Generally, when sitting on the ball, your knees should be at a 90-degree angle. Most balls come in sizes like 55cm, 65cm, and 75cm.

• If you're under 5'5", a 55cm ball is usually best.
• For heights between 5'6" and 6'0", a 65cm ball works well.
• Taller users may prefer a 75cm ball.

Always check the product details for sizing guides and consider your comfort and workout needs before buying.

Core exercise balls are super versatile and can be used for a variety of workouts.

• Try classic moves like crunches, planks, and bridges to target your abs and back.
• Use the ball for balance training, stretching, and even Pilates routines.
• Mini balls are great for squeezing between your knees during leg lifts or for barre workouts.

Always follow instructions and start slow to get comfortable with the ball's instability, which helps strengthen your core.

Most exercise balls come with a pump or inflation guide.

1. Insert the pump nozzle into the ball's valve.
2. Inflate until the ball reaches the recommended diameter (check the packaging for details).
3. Don't overinflate—leave the ball slightly firm but with a bit of give.

Let the ball sit for a few hours after first inflation, then top it off if needed. Always use the included pump or a compatible one, and avoid sharp objects to prevent damage.

Keeping your exercise ball clean is easy and helps it last longer.

• Wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap after each use.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
• Let the ball air dry completely before storing.

Regular cleaning prevents buildup of sweat and dust, making your workouts safer and more comfortable.

Many people use exercise balls as chairs to help improve posture and engage their core while sitting.

• Make sure the ball is properly inflated and the right size for your height.
• Use it on a flat, non-slip surface to avoid rolling.
• Start by sitting for short periods and gradually increase as you get used to it.

While it can add movement to your day, always prioritize safety and comfort. If you have specific health concerns, consider consulting a professional before making the switch.
