BALANCE BALL

CHAIR SYSTEM

Setup, Workout Tips and Care & Safety Guide

Please read before setting up or using your Balance Ball® Chair.

TOOLS NEEDED

Balance Ball® pump (you may want to use a bicycle

pump or compressor for initial inflation).

SETUP

1. Remove the ball from packaging and inspect for

shipping damage. It is normal for the ball to have

slight creases or fold marks when first inflated.

2. Before inflating the ball, use a tape measure or

ruler to mark 52cm or 21.5" on wall or floor, or

place two objects approximately 52cm apart.

This will be your guide for proper inflation size.

3. Make sure that the ball is at room temperature

before inflating.

4. Using the supplied pump, insert it into the

inflation hole in the ball. Inflate the Balance Ball®

to the desired height and firmness. DO NOT

overinflate.

5. Remove pump from Balance Ball® and

immediately insert plug into hole (so head is

flush with surface of ball).

6. Never inflate the ball larger than 52cm

or 21.5" in diameter.

WORKOUT TIPS

1. Follow exercise instructions presented in the

program.

2. Always use the Balance Ball® Chair in an open

area, free of furniture or other items that could

get in the way while exercising.

3. Use a smooth and steady motion when

performing each exercise.

4. Perform exercise routines to the best of your

ability without strain.

5. Avoid holding your breath while exercising.

CARE

1. Clear workout area of sharp objects that may

puncture the Balance Ball®. Use only on a

smooth surface.

2. It is not necessary to deflate the Balance Ball®

after use; however, slight leakage may occur

over time. Re-inflate when necessary.

3. Hand wash the Balance Ball® Chair with a soft

cloth and warm soapy water. Do not use harsh

or abrasive chemicals or cleaning tools that may

scratch or damage the Balance Ball® Chair.

4. Always check the Balance Ball® for nicks or

scratches before each use. If damaged in any

way, do not use.

5. Avoid placing or rolling the Balance Ball® on

newspaper, photocopies or other materials

printed in ink, as ink may permanently mark ball.

6. Avoid exposing the Balance Ball® to rough, sharp

or abrasive surfaces, or to heat or excessive

sunlight.

7. Do not store the ball against painted or wood

surfaces for any prolonged period of time.
