Another question about Squeeze

[nancy324]

I just went to the toy store and saw balls in several different sizes. Unfortunately, they didn't have a 10" ball, but there was an 11" and it looked very large to me. For those of you who have done the Squeeze workout, do you think that as a short, small-boned person, an 8" ball might be better for me? Or doesn't my size matter?

I'm in the office today, but I'm excited about finally trying the workout tonight if possible! If a 10" ball is what I need, I'll go to several different stores on my way home until I find it. I love shopping for new exercise equipment.

Thanks!

Nancy,
I think you'll be fine with the 11" ball. I've been using the ball that came with my Fluidity barre.

Looking forward to see what you think of the workout.

Nancy,

I use a smaller ball that belongs to my kids. It works out fine for me.

I used a 8.5 inch ball as that is all I could find in the stores when I was looking! It still gives me DOMS so I assume it works.

I use a really fancy ball...my son's ball (that we bought at the grocery store-you know the ones they sell in the middle of the aisles for like $1) .

 

[nancy324]

jaypea, that's what I bought too, except that here in NYC it cost $5.99.

Nancy, I bought the grocery store model too; here in Hawaii, it's a bargain at $4.99! My ball is pink, with gold sparkles; gotta love that ;-)

I spent $7 on my ball. And it has the friendly face of spongebob. My teenagers were wondering what the heck I was doing with the ball. I just answered that it was my thigh ball. And of course my son I will probably pop the ball with my thighs.HaHa!!

My ball is 8.5 and looks big enough.
