Choosing a suitable exercise ball
The selection of a suitable exercise ball depends on various factors, such as body size and the desired area of use. It is important that the ball is the right size to support an upright sitting position. A general recommendation is that the ball should be high enough that your knees are at a 90 degree angle when you sit on the ball.
It's also important to consider what kind of exercises you want to do with the ball. For yoga or pilates exercises, it is better to choose a ball with a softer surface for a better sitting and lying experience. For fitness exercises, choose a ball with a harder surface for better stability.
The material quality of the ball is also important to ensure that it lasts a long time and does not split or wear out. It is best to choose an exercise ball from a reputable manufacturer to ensure it is safe and durable.
In summary, when choosing an exercise ball, it is important to consider your height, intended use and the quality of the material to ensure that the ball is suitable and comfortable to use. Thorough research and possibly advice from an expert can help to find the right exercise ball.
Where is the best place to buy the exercise ball?
When shopping for a quality exercise ball, it's important to compare the options available. The internet can be a good resource for finding the right size and type of exercise ball, with many online retailers offering competitive prices and a wide variety. But the specialist trade can also make good offers for balls when buying in bulk or in sales. Also, these stores often have knowledgeable staff who can help you find the right size for your needs and recommend the best quality brands. It's also important to consider whether you need an air pump when purchasing a ball, as these can add significant costs depending on the manufacturer and the type of pump. In summary, when looking for a quality exercise ball, it's a good idea to do some research both online and in specialty stores to ensure you're getting the right size and product for your needs.
How do I find the right size exercise ball?
Hello Robin Meier,
We really appreciate your comment on our exercise ball comparison. Your views help us to keep growing and learning!
The right size for your exercise ball depends on your height. As a rule of thumb, if you are between 155cm and 165cm tall, choose a 55cm diameter exercise ball. If you are between 166 cm and 178 cm tall, a ball with a diameter of 65 cm is recommended. If you are over 179 cm tall, you should choose an exercise ball with a diameter of 75 cm. Note that these are general recommendations and may vary based on individual needs and practice. An exercise ball should be slightly inflated so that it yields slightly under your body weight, but is still stable enough to support you during your workout.
