Hi Cathe and everyone else from this great website!

Re the new videos, could you please tell me what size of stability ball I should buy? I'm only 5 ft. tall with short legs and suspect that the bigger balls will be too high for me.

Thanks and have a great day!

Hi Patricia,

The balls come in about 4 different sizes, 45cm, 55cm, 65cm, 75cm. I have a 65cm ball which is fine for me as I am 5ft 8". I would probably say you could go for the 55cm, while sitting on it your legs should be at a 90 degree angle, if your legs weren't on a 55cm ball, then you can let some air out of it, to lower it. I am wondering if the 45cm would be a tad on the small side.
Not being much help am I ?

Maybe some one can jump in here for me ?

The good news for me was that the small ball came in purple, so it matches my fanny lifter and my mat. :) Those things are important you know. :)
