Tried an Exercise Ball Yet? Here’s How to Start

I used to avoid exercise balls at the gym because I thought I’d just roll off and embarrass myself. Turns out, they’re actually awesome for building core strength and balance—if you know a few basics. 🔸 Pick the right size: When you sit on the ball, your knees should be at a 90-degree angle. (Shorter folks, go smaller; taller folks, go bigger.) 🔸 Don’t overinflate: If you’re new, let a little air out so the ball’s a bit squishy. It’s way easier to balance that way. 🔸 Start simple: Try just sitting and bouncing lightly, or do some basic sit-ups with your feet flat on the floor. You’ll feel your core working right away. 🔸 Make space: Clear the area around you—trust me, you don’t want to crash into your coffee table mid-bounce. Give it a shot! It’s way less intimidating once you get the hang of it. #CoreStrength #BeginnerFitness #ExerciseBall #Health #Fitness
