What size stability ball?

What size stability ball does Cathe use. I think mine is bigger than the one she uses.

The size you should use depends on your height, and especially the length of your leg from the knee down. When you sit on the ball, your knees should be at a 90-degree angle or more open (hips a little bit above knees). If the angle is tighter, then the ball is too small.

I think Cathe and crew use a 55 cm ball.

I agree with Kathryn. The general recommendation is:

size of ball height
-------------------------------------
45cm under 5'
55cm 5' to 5'7"
65cm 5'8" to 6'3"
75cm taller than 6'3"

P.S. That chart isn't supposed to look so squished up---it looked alot better than that when I was typing it up
