Quick Gymball Q

d-redser

I want to buy a gymball and just looking in the Argos book and there are two different sizes. A 65 or a 75cm..

I am 5ft 2" and weigh 13st (:eek: I know) so want to get the one that suits me best.

Any ideas?

At that height I would think the smaller one. My sister has both and she uses the small one at her class, kept falling off the big one! dunno what height she is, maybe 5'7''

You need a 55cm ball. They can be got in most sports shops with a pump.

Ideally choose an antiburst ball as they tend to be a little stronger and safer (they cost a few more euros but it is worth it). An ordinary gym ball can and will burst like a balloon if it comes into contact with something sharp. An anit-burst ball even if stabbed will deflate slowly and not go pop.

I'm 5"1 and find that the 65 cm fits me well. The 55 cm one feels too small.

Either way, the 72 cm one will probably be too large.

thanks a mill everyone..

Cos I am a bit on the heavy side, every time I bounce on them they feel like they are going to explode !!!

Gonna get the 65 one.. Fingers crossed it wont burst on me !!
