How to use yoga balls

When you buy fitness balls, you will be equipped with one or more inflatable devices. Inflating a fitness ball is like inflating a basketball or a bicycle. It is inflated according to the size of the ball. If the air is too strong, it can be released to adjust the hardness of the ball, which is mainly adjusted according to the needs of the practitioner. The specific steps are as follows.

1. After getting the yoga ball, you should first stretch it out, find the “white air plug” on the ball and pull it out.

2. Then insert the small “gas needle” of the “double headed foot pumping bully” into the air hole on the ball to directly pump gas.

3. If you feel that the ball is almost the same during the pumping process, you can tap it with your hand. If it makes a banging sound, it is almost the same. Those who don’t like to be too full can relax properly.

4. After pumping, plug the air plug back quickly. This way, the ball can be used normally

5. When you feel that the ball occupies a position after use, you can pull out the plug, and when the gas is almost exhausted, you can use an air pump to pump air. Then roll it up and wait for the next use.
