how much air to put in stability ball?

[lorrayne]

Can someone please tell me how much air to put in the stablity ball? I think I need to put some more air in mine as there's quite an indentation when I sit on the ball. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you are supposed to measure the ball as you pump it up. Mine is designed to be 65cm (I'm 5 feet 8), and when I pumped it, I measured vertically from the floor to approximately the height of the ball.

With some stability balls, it's hard to get them totally pumped up the first time, and it's actually safer as far as keeping the plastic burst resistant to blow them up in two stages. The first time, put in about 75% of the air. Let the ball sit 24 hours, then blow up the rest of the way. You should be able to press your thumb into the ball and have it indent a bit.

Thanks for the advise. I'll add some air to it and see how it goes.
