Count on Fitball. If this exercise ball is ever punctured it will slowly deflate rather than burst

Imagine lying on your exercise ball stretching out your back. Suddenly, the ball is punctured by a foreign object. If it's an exercise ball that has been rigorously tested and evaluated for safety like the Fitball then the ball will safely and slowly deflate reducing the chance of injury. If your exercise ball does not carry safety and testing certifications then chances are the ball will burst and suddenly deflate in less than a second increasing the chance of injury.

The Fitball Gymnic Plus exercise ball is manufactured by Ledraplastics of Italy. The heavy duty ball material is burst resistant which prevents a sudden loss of pressure allowing for a slow, safe deflation. The Fitball carries a 300kg (660lbs.) user weight rating. Guaranteed to be absolutely round and features dynamic elasticity found in only the finest exercise balls. The Fitball is TUV tested, CE compliant, latex free and formaldehyde free. Each ball includes a free exercise chart, inflation instructions, and inflation pump.

Fitball exercise balls are internationally approved and thoroughly tested

Inflation Instructions and Care

Inspect
Please do not open your package with a sharp object. Remove the ball from the packaging and inspect for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. It's normal for the ball to have slight creases (fold marks) when first inflated. Make sure the ball is at room temperature before proceeding.

Inflate
inflating the Gymnic or Fitball exercise ball Remove the plug from the ball. Do not use a sharp object to remove the plug. A coin (quarter) can be used to raise the plug enough to pull it out. The manufacturer includes a packet containing an extra plug and a pump adaptor. The adaptor is made for bicycle pumps, which can be used to inflate your ball. However, bicycle pumps are designed to inflate small items to a high pressure. Exercise balls have a large volume and a low pressure. Pumps designed to inflate large items work best on exercise balls.

The balls are inflated according to size, not pressure. Never inflate the ball larger than the recommended diameter. Each ball has the maximum diameter (width) printed on it in centimeters and inches. To insure proper inflation, place the un-inflated ball between two flat, upright surfaces, such as a wall and a box. Make sure the box is the same distance from the wall as the ball's diameter. Inflate the ball until it just touches the 2 surfaces.
