Edit ArticleHow to Air up an Exercise Ball Stability balls make an excellent addition to any home gym. You can use a stability ball as a makeshift weight bench, for doing body weight exercises, or even as a substitute office chair. You'll get the best results if you use a stability ball that's the right size for your body--but even that only works if the ball is properly inflated. Note the ball's intended final diameter. Place a large box the same distance away from a bare wall as the ball's intended diameter. Lay the deflated exercise ball out flat between the box and the wall, and locate the obvious air valve. You'll also need a ball pump or a bicycle pump with a cone adapter (in a very few cases, your ball will have a needle valve), and a stopper for the ball's air valve. If you're just re-inflating a partially inflated ball, you'll need a spoon or dull knife to pry the valve stopper out. Insert the edge of the spoon or the flat edge of the knife underneath the valve and gently pry it up out of the ball, just before you insert the pump.
Some exercise balls come with a thin plastic strap; this is used as a visual aid for when the ball has reached the appropriate size. Place the grommet at each end of the strap over the cone adapter on your air pump, then let the strap hang loosely around the deflated ball. Insert the pump into the ball's air valve and work the pump, airing up the ball. When the strap around the ball comes taut, or the ball brushes against both the wall and the box you positioned near it, you know it's properly inflated. Remove the pump from the ball's valve and quickly insert the valve stopper. Show more unanswered questions Once the ball is inflated, double-check that it's the right size for you by sitting down on it and checking your body position in a mirror. Both knees and hips should be bent at a 90-degree angle. If you're not sure whether your stability ball needs inflating, sit down on it. According to the American Council on Exercise, a properly inflated stability ball should compress about six inches beneath you.
If it compresses more, it needs more air. You can partially deflate a too-large ball to make it fit you, but the result would be a soft, squishy ball that makes some balancing exercises easier than they should be. Do not fill up ball past its maximum diameter, it will either pop or not be soft enough to exercise with. & FREE Delivery in the UK. Order within and choose at checkout.

Delivered on time, well packaged, bit expensive for what it is tbh. I don't have one of these chairs, I find sitting on a gym ball is just fine - I keep it a bit soft to get the right height and slightly more comfort and stability and periodically...
It is not a good design. It looks good, but when I sat on it I felt it is too low to use for work. It also cannot provide proper support for my back and my back pain got worse. Good quality and just as described. I was very disappointed in the condition the chair came in. It was scratched all over and the wheels continue to randomly lock. It was easy to assemble though. Do not buy this if you have back problems, it cause more pain and make the neck hurt See and discover other items: stability ball Home & Kitchen > Furniture > Home Office Furniture > Chairs & Sofas > Desk Chairs Sports & Outdoors > Fitness > Accessories > Exercise Balls & AccessoriesToday we’re teaching you how to make twine lanterns. These lanterns are perfect for everything from an outdoor garden party to an easy solution for livening up an office. Take your extra day this weekend and try this fun and easy craft with your family! Now, you can’t say we didn’t warn you. The level of messiness involved in this project definitely warrants the great outdoors or a tarp covered floor in your home.
However, we think you will find that the fun you had along the way and the final product makes the mess completely worth it! 1. Blow up a balloon. We suggest not blowing it up to its maximum capacity so that it is rounder. 2. After the balloon is inflated to it’s desired size draw a circle with the sharpie around the balloon knot just large enough to accommodate whatever lighting method you choose. Note: If you are just wanting to hang the balls or use them in a vase then you don’t need to leave a hole at all! 3. You will need to prepare your work area by laying down a tarp. We hung a shower curtain bar between two chairs and suspended the balloons by it with string so we could have plenty of working room. 4. Mix corn starch, glue and warm water together until it’s completely smooth. 5. Smear the petroleum jelly all over your balloon until it is completely coated. 6. Besides being in good company, this project will go much faster if you have a friend or some family help.
