SYSTEM
TOOLS NEEDED
Balance Ball® pump (you may want to use a bicycle pump
or compressor for initial inflation).
SETUP
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
inflation. Once your chair is assembled and 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.
CARE
1. Clear workout area of sharp objects that may puncture
the Balance Ball®. Use only on a smooth surface.
2. It is not necessary to deflate the Balance Ball® after
use; however, slight leakage may occur over time.
Re-inflate when necessary.
3. Hand wash the Balance Ball® Chair with a soft cloth
and warm soapy water. Do not use harsh or abrasive
chemicals or cleaning tools that may scratch or
damage the Balance Ball® Chair.
4. Always check the Balance Ball® for nicks or scratches
before each use. If damaged in any way, do not use.
5. Avoid placing or rolling the Balance Ball® on
newspaper, photocopies or other materials printed in
ink, as ink may permanently mark ball.
6. Avoid exposing the Balance Ball® to rough, sharp or
abrasive surfaces, or to heat or excessive sunlight.
7. Do not store the ball against painted or wood surfaces
for any prolonged period of time.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CAUTIONS!
1. Consult with your doctor before beginning this
or any other exercise program.
