Getting an exercise ball "fitted" typically refers to preparing it for use, which primarily involves inflating it correctly.
Fitting an exercise ball means getting it ready for you to use. The main step in this process is properly inflating the ball so it is firm and holds its shape. Following the correct inflation steps ensures the ball is prepared and "fitted" for your workout.
Step-by-Step Inflation Guide
To fit your exercise ball by inflating it, you will need the ball itself and a pump. The process, based on common practices for inflating exercise balls, involves these steps:
- Prepare the Ball: Take the ball out of its packaging and unroll it.
- Gather Your Pump: Have your exercise ball pump ready.
- Insert the Pump: Locate the inflation hole on the ball and put your pump inside the hole.
- Begin Pumping: Use the pump to inflate it [the ball] until it's pretty firm. Continue pumping until the ball feels adequately inflated for its intended use and size.
- Remove the Pump: Remove the pump from the inflation hole.
- Quickly Seal: Immediately put the pin back in the hole quickly to prevent air from escaping.
- Check Inflation: Ensure you want to have the ball inflated to the correct firmness. The ball should feel firm when you press on it but have a slight give.
By following these steps, you effectively "fit" or prepare your exercise ball for your exercises by ensuring it is properly inflated.
