The size you require depends largely on your height:
If your height is up to 155cms (5' 2") we recommend a 55cm ball. Between 155 and 170 cms (5' 2" - 5' 8") you should use a 65cm ball and if you are taller than 170 cms the 75 cm ball is the most appropriate.
(Industry recommendations).
Swiss Ball, Fit Ball, Gym Ball, Birth Ball ... different names for what really is an inflatable exercise ball historically used for physiotherapy / rehabilitation and by Fitness enthusiasts. Good quality balls are now recommended by midwives for use as "Birthing Balls", used from the early stages of pregnancy, through childbirth and for getting back into shape afterwards.
You will find they come in all shapes, sizes and qualities.
For general exercise you may be happy taking your chances but when using one of these balls pre or during childbirth it is absolutely essential you use a good quality ball capable of resisting high pressure and above all it must be "burst resistant".
Our balls are made in Italy by Europe's most experienced manufacturer in this industry. "Gymnic Classic Plus" (Ledraplastic) is a professional quality product designed for heavy use. Pressure tested to 300kg (660 lbs) and certified "Burst Resistant". This means that even if deliberately punctured the ball will deflate slowly and safely. CE marked they conform to all relevant EU regulations. Manufactured from non - toxic materials.
Birth Balls are hugely popular and increasingly recommended as an exercise aid to help you strengthen and prepare your body for childbirth and can be used right up to childbirth itself. Your ball will be invaluable throughout the entire period of your pregnancy and it may eventually be the only comfortable thing you can find to sit on! With the right exercises your ball can even be effective in helping your baby get into the right position for birth.
And it continues to be invaluable even after birth. Use it to sit on and use it's gentle motion to sooth your baby (and you too!). Use it once again to help those all important exercises ..... or just for fun. |
