Exercise ball size

am0138 · January 2014

I know several of you have some sort of exercise ball that you're using for back pain and such- can anyone recommend a brand and/or size to me? I am 5'3" and the one I picked up recently is far too small. TIA

The balls have the size listed by height.

My doula said you want your knees to be at about a 90 degree angle when you're sitting on it. And I read online somewhere that your knees should be about 10 cm below your hips when sitting on it. Idk what means as far as sizes go, but you'll probably want one a size bigger than recommended for your height, I'd think.

It feels so good even just sitting on it. Be careful if you are not used to it because I am extra clumsy on it.
