PLUS An additional Guide with gym ball exercises for using the ball for general fitness in the future.
When sitting on the ball, your hips should be 8-10cm higher than your knees.
Select the correct size for your height:
65cm: Up to 5'9 (Up to 175cm)
75cm: 5'10 and over (176cm & over)
Women who are 5'8-5'9 and heavier than average before pregnancy, may be better suited to the 75cm ball, inflating it to only 70cm diameter.
