Exercise Ball Safety: Do’s and Don’ts For Safe Exercise Ball Use
DO’S:
- Use only high quality burst resistance exercise balls (DuraBall Pro or Similar) that display an inflation date that is less then 12 months old.
- Inspect the ball before each use, look for gouges, cracks, peeling or under inflation
- Exercise on a padded floor or mat
- Use a spotter and extreme caution when using resistance equipment with an exercise ball**
- Replace balls every 12 months or at the first sign of wear; especially in high use facilities
- New exercise balls should be inflated as per instructions and clearly labeled with the inflation date (Month / Year) in permanent ink
DON’TS
- Use a ball with visible signs of wear
- Patch or plug a damaged or leaking ball
- Inflate larger then the recommended size
- Store balls near sharp metal or heat sources
- Kick an exercise ball
BE SMART – BE ON THE BALL
** Use of resistance equipment such as bar/dumbbells while on a ball is not recommended as it dramatically increases the risk of serious injury
