Is the yoga ball inflatable? To what extent should the yoga ball be inflated?

Yoga balls are a product that we are all familiar with. Many people who like yoga will buy yoga balls, but some people don’t know much about yoga balls. So let’s find out if yoga balls are inflatable? To what extent should yoga balls be inflated?

Yes. When you buy a fitness ball, it will be equipped with one or more inflatable devices. Inflating a fitness ball is like inflating a basketball or a bicycle. Inflate it according to the size of the ball. If the air is too full, you can release some of it to adjust the hardness of the ball. This is mainly adjusted according to the needs of the practitioner. First, pull out the "white air plug" on the ball. Then use the small "air needle" of the "double-headed foot-stepping inflator" to insert it into the air hole on the ball and inflate it directly. After inflating, quickly put the air plug back. Look at yourself sitting on the ball, keep your thighs horizontal, your knees at a 90-degree angle, and your feet flat on the floor. If you can easily and comfortably maintain this posture, then it also means that the degree of inflation of this yoga ball is very suitable for you.

Generally speaking, the ball should be filled to 80% so that it is elastic and convenient for us to do yoga movements such as clamping and grasping. When you buy a yoga fitness ball, it will be equipped with one or more inflating devices. Inflating a fitness ball is like inflating a basketball or a bicycle. Inflate it according to the size of the ball. If there is too much air and you are afraid of explosion, you can release some of it to adjust the hardness of the ball. This is mainly adjusted according to the needs of the practitioner. During the inflation process, always measure the height of the ball to prevent over-expansion. Excessive expansion can easily damage the ball. If you inflate it in the cold outdoors in winter, you should inflate it 15%~20% less than usual, because once you enter a warm room, the weight loss ball will be in danger of exploding. It should also be noted that heaters, stoves, etc. will weaken the surface strength of the ball, so please do not get close. If you want to exhaust the gas in the weight loss ball, find an exhaust needle (generally provided with yoga balls, and not sold in sports stores), then unplug the air plug of the weight loss ball and plug it into the inflation port to exhaust the air.

The sizes of yoga balls include 45 cm, 55 cm, 65 cm, 75 cm and other diameters. If you are a petite lady, you can choose a 45 cm or 55 cm yoga ball, while 65 cm and 75 cm yoga balls are more suitable for tall men. In addition to the size selection, the more important point is to choose a strong and durable yoga ball produced by a regular manufacturer, which should be very elastic and fully safe. The weight of the average person's yoga ball can be borne, because when we exercise, we don't put all the weight on the yoga ball, it only carries part of the weight, and our body and the ball produce a counterforce. While the yoga ball relaxes us and sinks, our body will also have its own strength to move upward, and at the same time tighten the muscles and wrap the bones to protect our body. Maybe in the process of practicing yoga, many people don't pay much attention to the details of these yoga balls, but if you want to achieve better results in practice, the selection of these yoga balls cannot be ignored. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the correct method in the process of practicing yoga to avoid getting hurt.

The yoga ball should be placed on a yoga mat. This way it can be kept clean and not slip. Although yoga ball exercises are not prone to injury, you still need to pay attention to maintaining balance, especially when doing more difficult movements such as the wheel pose. You must use your hands to support yourself when you restore. When practicing fitness ball yoga, you should pay attention to your clothing and try not to wear overly loose clothing to avoid the yoga ball squeezing your clothing, causing accidents and injuries to your body. When we practice yoga in our daily lives, we should pay attention to the fact that if we want to use a yoga ball to practice, we first need to master the skills of using the yoga ball so that we can do it correctly to avoid harming our health. At the same time, it is also recommended that you practice yoga more often in your daily lives.
