How to Air up an Exercise Ball

In order to air up an exercise ball, you will need a few things:

1. Exercise ball 2. Hand pump or electric pump with an exercise ball adapter 3. Tape measure

Here are the steps you can follow to air up an exercise ball:

1. Locate the valve: Look for the small plastic plug on the ball. This is the valve where you will insert the pump.

2. Insert the pump: If you have a hand pump, insert the nozzle into the valve and hold it firmly in place. If you have an electric pump with an exercise ball adapter, attach the adapter to the nozzle of the pump and then insert it into the valve.

3. Inflate the ball: Start pumping air into the ball. If you're using a hand pump, use your other hand to hold the ball steady while you pump. If you're using an electric pump, turn it on and let it do the work for you. Continue pumping until the ball is fully inflated.

4. Check the size: Use a tape measure to check the size of the ball. The ball should be inflated to the size recommended for your height and weight. You can find this information on the packaging or in the instructions that came with the ball.

5. Remove the pump: Once the ball is fully inflated, remove the pump nozzle or adapter from the valve.

6. Replace the plug: Replace the small plastic plug in the valve to prevent air from escaping.

7. Test the ball: Sit on the ball and test its firmness. If it feels too soft or too firm, you may need to adjust the air pressure. If it feels just right, you're all set to start using your exercise ball!
