CUSTOM FIT
BALANCE BALL
Setup, Workout Tips and Care & Safety Guide
Please read before setting up or using your Custom Fit Balance Ball® Chair.
TOOLS NEEDED
Balance Ball® pump (you may want to use a bicycle
pump or compressor for initial inflation).
SET-UP
1. Remove the ball from packaging and inspect for
shipping damage. It is normal for the ball to have
slight creases or fold marks when first inflated.
2. Before inflating the ball, use a tape measure or ruler
to mark 55cm or 22" on wall or floor, or place two
objects approximately 55cm apart. This will be your
guide for proper inflation size.
3. Make sure that the ball is at room temperature
before inflating.
4. Using the supplied pump, insert it into the inflation
hole in the ball. Inflate the Balance Ball® to the
desired height and firmness. DO NOT overinflate.
5. Remove pump from Balance Ball® and immediately
insert plug into hole (so head is flush with surface
of ball).
6. Never inflate the ball larger than 55cm or
22" in diameter.
For optimal performance, it may be necessary to
re-inflate your new Balance Ball® once or twice after the
initial inflation. Once your chair is assembled and the
Balance Ball® is inflated, re-check the ball size the next
day. If necessary, add additional air and check once
more the following day. Your new Balance Ball® may
need a day or two to "stretch" to its final size (which
should then fit perfectly in the base).
WORKOUT TIPS
1. Follow exercise instructions presented in
the program.
2. Always use the Balance Ball® Chair in an open area,
free of furniture or other items that could get in the
way while exercising.
3. Use a smooth and steady motion when performing
each exercise.
4. Perform exercise routines to the best of your ability
without strain.
5. Avoid holding your breath while exercising.
