Yoga ball sizes

Gym balls come in a variety of sizes and strengths, so choosing the right yoga ball for your home gym is crucial. If, for example, you are stretching and the ball is too small then you won’t get the right stretch. The wrong size ball can also cause you to roll off the ball causing injury.

The best way to find out which size is right for you is to squat with your back against a wall low enough to achieve a 90-degree position. Mark the wall and that will give you the height that you need. Another technique is to measure from the back of your knee to the ground, add 3cm and the next size ball after this measurement will be the right size for you.

What are the benefits of gym balls?

Gym balls come with a number of benefits, the main one being that they will help your core as your balance will be challenged. You can use a fitness ball for most exercises too, and as they add instability to the exercise it naturally tests your body more. If you try to do sit ups on a gym ball, you will know straight away what we mean! They are also very good for strength training, resistance training, Pilates, yoga, and much more.

In summary, with a stability ball, your exercises get more varied and more difficult. They are great for stretching and for improving your core strength. They are also softer on your back than the floor and they can improve your muscle tone.
