Question by TC_AstroDad: How to properly size a Pilates Ball? I’m looking to get a Pilates ball to use as a chair at my computer desk. I’m rather tall at 6’4″ have a 36″ inseam and weigh 260. The 75cm I’ve seen at the local $Mart seems too small, and have not found any balls in person larger than that size making it difficult to gauge what size to order. Thanks in advance.

Answer by JT This link below explains it correctly. Click on “Select correct exercise ball size.”
When sitting on the ball, your thighs should be parallel to the floor, your feet flat on the floor and your knees at a 90 degree angle.
Your ball may not be inflated to its fullest or you may simply prefer a larger ball (little more challenging to find a 85 cm ball, but not impossible).
By the way, this site clearly mentions that if you are using the ball as a chair, you do need to use one size larger. Looks like they carry 85 cm balls.
Question by walknred: do you think one of those big children’s balls work in place of a pilates ball? I’m talking about those big rubber balls that usually sell for around .00 in the toy stores or Wal-mart.

Pilates Ball Exercises – How to Get a Healthy Body in 5 Steps
Pilates exercises are commonly done at home or in the studio on the Pilates Ball. This ball was introduced some years ago and complements the other Pilates accessories and equipment. The Pilates Ball is versatile and lightweight, making it an ideal choice as an exercise accompaniment. The ball provides many basic movements often neglected in our daily lives.
Just by sitting on the ball strengthens your posture and aligns your muscles. The Pilates Ball teaches you how to sit like you should by balancing your body with your shoulders, arms, bottom and legs. Bouncing on the ball improves the endurance of your back muscles. While you perform these movements, you will learn the proper breathing techniques to enable your body to be relaxed.
Stretching your spine forward is the third step in the Pilates Ball exercise and involves pulling your belly button up and into the back of your spine. You should inhale at the same time while keeping the chin horizontal. This will lengthen your upper body. Then exhale and drop the chin. You will feel your body stretching and becoming more agile in the process.
The fourth step in the Pilates Ball exercise is to roll back and forth on the ball with arms wrapping horizontally across your elbows. This movement will exercise the abdominal muscles.
The final step in the ball exercise aims to elongate the spine laterally. Lift the left arm straight up and inhale, then slowly exhale by elongating that arm towards the right. Repeat the movement with the right arm and after a few repetitions, you will find that your body is more flexible and your muscles are relaxed.
