I was taking online classes from 9 - 5 so I was having to sit for long periods at a time. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxEhgucmXpcAGYh8fatGFEnOK2V97VIwhG After the first day in a regular table chair, I thought about an exercise ball and ordered one that night. It came the next day! My hips, legs, back and butt couldn't have been happier! I'm almost 5'11" and I ordered the largest size and it was perfect for me. I also have RLS (restless legs) and this helped so much.Pumping it up was a little challenging and definitely gives you a good arm workout, (I'm a 62 yo woman) but it's very doable. Getting the tape centered with the hole to inflate it and then getting the pin back in was also a little tricky. But I love my new "chair" and I love the torquiose color. Hopefully it will also get used for exercise. 😁
oh my god, YES. no other brand shares that the measurement is actually for diameter, instead of circumference, and that’s hugely confusing and frustrating.
Haha if i told you how i got mine pumped.you would laugh for weeks. The pump they send you is never this style. Its some garbage that you look at amd say wth is this thing
@@joannagrelle9879 So if the ball is 75 cm, this is for the “diameter” of the ball, right? So my ball is 75 cm so should inflate to 2.5’ in “diameter”, correct?
Thank you for this. Wasn't sure how to tell if my ball was inflated enough. It seemed tight enough but after measuring I realized it's only half the size it should be! Also didn't know to let it stretch over night.
Thank you so much for bringing this down to crayon-level-learning for me. I hate to admit it, but I needed this simple process explained to me Barney-style.
Yours is the only video I found with partial-fill/acclimation information and most helpfully showed how to ascertain the inflation limits with the measurements from the wall! Wonderful!
Great video man! One last thing to mention was to bounce on the ball for some time so it can also stretch out more and so you can also get a feel for how it would be sitting on the ball! Just a useful tip👍🏻
¡I knew somebody in TH-cam could help me! Thank you so much for explaining every detail to take into account, very very useful. My gym-ball didn't come with any instructions or any tool at all! Thanks again. 👍🏻
Hey Kaori, The plug is just let loose a bit during the stretching period to make it easier to get out to finish inflating it. After it is fully inflated you can press the plug in fully so it is flush. If it is a bit to difficult to push the full way in you can use a bit of soap on it to make it a bit easier. I hope this answers your question and if you have any more, please don't hesitate to ask!
Hey anoited1980, I am 5'11" and the 65cm is perfect for me! Your weight won't matter with the Forever Flex ball since it can hold up to 2,000 lbs. If you're looking to use it primarily for workouts I would definitely say 65cm will be perfect for you. If you want it as a desk chair, you can go up to 75cm. Hope this answered your question!
Hey idk if you will answer me, but i bought a 65 cm, now im waiting 24 hours to continue inflating it but already at 55 cm it feels like it would blow up if i inflate it more. Maybe i just never inflated and i shouldnt be worried. Cuz another 10 cm seems big but i know those balls are made with really strong materials
@@MrFearlesskilleroh man I'm also worried to fill it up to 65cm. I have balloon phobia and whenever I blow this ball up above 60cm I start having panic attacks.
thank you, this is very very helpful! i have a 65mm ball, but it seems i've inflated it up to 28 inches already; is that okay or should i deflate it a bit to fit 26 inches?
I wanted to donate an exercise ball, but I did not have the written instructions only the inflator which had a sticker simply warning about over-inflation being dangerous. Your website explains how to inflate - and not over-inflate. Knowing this I searched but beforehand found videos that ONLY explain how to but air into a ball. Apparently if over-inflation does occur the ball may explode then or later and the user likely be injured!!
Trying to re-inflate a 65CM ball; I have the hand pump but the valve remover seems to be missing. Any ideas how to remove to re-inflate to get back to workouts?
The air stopper plugs will go the full way into the ball after the stretching is completed. I would recommend leaving it a bit loose while still stretching so that they are easier to remove and top off the ball. I hope this helps!
Hi, I didn't know that thing about 80% / wiat 24h / 100% So i Inflate my ball till i thought it was enough. I let the ball full one night, but I realise that it was way too inflated, I have a 65cm and I thing it was almost 75/80cm. The problem is that now I when i deflate the ball to the right size, it looks floppy, do you think the ball material will recover its initial size?
So it stretches and needs more air?...I inflated it yesterday and felt tight bit it feels not ready today...Way too soft. I THOUGHT IT WAS DEFLATING DUE TO A HOLE...but I will try to put more air in it and see what happens. THANK YOU!
Thanks a lot for this video. Our first exercise ball, looks the same, but branded with Reebok. Made in Taiwan as well. Lifesaver video, for the peace in this house :-)
Hi...i just purchase the megamaxx exercising ball and i can't inflate it. It just isn't going anywhere it don't has any cuts whatsoever. I don't know if it could be the pump itself. Because,it only let out little air. Is it because of the pump?
Aw geeez...I inflated my wife's ball with my air compressor in my garage...the air pump that came with it would have taken way to long...took me a minute my way...I didn't fill it up completely...I needed to stretch the material ...done 😁
This 24 hours period - is it better to inflate earlier or later, in case you cannot be exact in time? I guess it is minimum recommended time, right? Based on someone speaking also about 2 days. My options now are 3 hours earlier or 3-5 hours later.
This info seems to no-one knows, nor even stupid manual is available for the Energetics Gymnastic Ball - not in energetics page, not in intersport page...must be some international secret I guess. I think, I need to ask NASA.
I just ordered one of these. My ball has been inflated for 14 hours at about 85% of the final diameter. Can I just inflate it fully now? If I only let it stretch 14 hours will it pop?
i am 5'8'' and weigh 210lbs. What size ball should i get to match height and weight? A sports store employee told me to get the 75 cm instead of the 65cm, but i'm not sure and i don't want to buy the wrong thing.
G. Gamez Gamez the ball will be small for you i am inflating a stability ball today it was 75cm but when i sat on the ball it was low so i read the instructions and it said let the material stretch or the side walls of the ball stretch and the creases will even out and go away and i also called the company they told me the same thing to let it sit and stretch 24hrs other manufacturers 2 days
What's the point of the stretching? Does the stretching weaken it and make it more likely to rip from being sat on? I don't want it to pop while I'm working with weights you know
+BobbyWDWCP If you don't give it time to stretch, the ball will appear far smaller than you ordered. I returned a ball last week because I believed I was sent the wrong size. That was before I found this video.
Hey Candi, The published size of an exercise ball ie 65cm, 75cm etc is always referring to the diameter of the ball. You can translate that to the circumfrence if you are measuring that instead. Just simply multiply the diameter by 3.14 and it will be almost dead on. For example, the 65cm diameter will have around 204cm circumference. 65x3.14= 204cm
My problem is I lose too much air after removing the pump and putting in the stopper. No matter how close I have them or how fast I do it, the air rushes out at such a speed you can see the partial deflation.
Hey David, The initial inflation on a 40" or 100Cm ball would be about 32" or 80CM. This is if you are measuring from the wall like in the video and not measuring the circumference. Let me know if you have any other questions! Take care, Shad Doverspike Live Infinitely LLC

Make sure you use a taller box to get the full diameter right.

No worries at all and I do hope the vide helps you!
It did, thank you
can i use a car tyre pump to fill? will it burst the ball?
If you follow the recommended fill size guides at the right times it shouldn't matter what you use to pump the ball up.

!!!! Yea!!!!

The initial inflation on a 40" or 100Cm ball would be about 32" or 80CM. This is if you are measuring from the wall like in the video and not measuring the circumference. Let me know if you have any other questions!
