FAQs
What is the correct size exercise ball for me?
For an 85cm ball, it's typically recommended for individuals around 6'0" (183 cm) and taller when used for sitting or general exercise. Your knees should form roughly a 90-degree angle when seated. If you are shorter, consider smaller sizes.
How do I know when the ball is properly inflated?
The ball should be firm but still have a slight give when pressed. When seated, your hips should be slightly higher than your knees, creating an approximate 90-degree angle at the knees and hips.
Is the anti-burst feature guaranteed?
The ball is made with anti-burst properties for slow, safe deflation if punctured. However, it is not entirely 'burst-proof' under extreme force or misuse. Proper inflation and avoiding sharp objects are key.
Can I use this ball for physical therapy?
Yes, exercise balls are commonly used in physical therapy and rehabilitation to improve balance, strength, and coordination under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
How do I clean the exercise ball?
Clean the ball with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can I use this ball outdoors?
It is best to use the ball on a clean, indoor surface. Outdoor surfaces can be abrasive and may contain sharp objects that could damage the ball.
What is the weight limit for this exercise ball?
While designed for durability, the product information does not specify a maximum weight limit. It is constructed from durable PVC with anti-burst properties suitable for standard exercise and sitting.
Troubleshooting
Ball won't inflate properly
Ensure the pump is securely attached and functioning. Check for any debris blocking the inflation valve. Allow the ball to rest after initial inflation as the material may stretch.
Ball feels too soft or loses air quickly
Re-inflate the ball. Check for any small punctures or leaks. Ensure the valve cap is properly sealed. Material may need time to fully stretch and hold air.
Ball appears deflated during use
This is normal as the ball adapts to body weight and temperature. Re-inflate as needed. If deflation is rapid, check for leaks.
