Stability Ball Used in Xtrain

[melagras]

Does anyone know what size stability ball is used? I have a 65 cm ball and it looks awfully small compared to the ones used in Xtrain. I don't think I'm getting in the right position for the weight workouts.

I have a 65 cm ball. Be sure to inflate it so that it's fairly firm.
I've had my ball for 9 years and have used it in all of Cathe's workouts that make use of a ball.
I have to check the inflation every year or so, and it does make a huge difference.

I think the size of ball you use depends on your height. Maybe the ball you have is too small for your height. Just a thought.

I think the size of ball you use depends on your height. Maybe the ball you have is too small for your height. Just a thought.

Here are two charts I found about sizing:
Size Small (55cm) for heights 5'0" - 5'5"
Size Medium (65cm) for heights 5'6" - 5'11"
Size Large (75cm) for heights 6'0" - 6'3"

If you are 4'11" - 5'4", get a ball that is 55cm
If you are 5'5" - 5'11", get a ball that is 65cm
If you are 6' - 6'7, get a ball that is 75cm

All the charts say that I should have a 65" ball(I'm 5'8"), but I feel much better on a 75" ball so that's what I use.

That's what I'm thinking I need as well. The 65 doesn't give me the height I need to do the ball work in XTrain.

XTrain Stability Ball

The stability balls used by everyone but Greg and Frank are 55 cm. The guys uses 65 cm stability balls. But the size ball you will need will depend on your height. Cathe and most of our crew are under 5' 2".

The inflation of your ball is also important and will determine what it's actual dimensions truly is. An over inflated 55 cm stability ball could easily be 65 cm or more and under inflated 75 cm stability ball could actually only be 65 cm or less.

I'm 5'7 and use a 75cm ball. Right now I see that I need to inflate it more so that should help

I tell you what thought if Cathe and crew are using 55cm balls then TV really does expand everything because it looks like they have larger sizes.

This series is awesome though
