Inflating your ball depends on the type of brand you buy. Specific instructions accompany each ball. Below is a quick synopsis of each type, but please read the instructions that come with your purchase. FitBall (FB) These balls can be inflated to their maximum diameter immediately. Measure the appropriate height on a wall (i.e. 55cm or 65cm) and mark it. Hold a ruler, or straight edge horizontally from that point and inflate the ball until it reaches the proper height.

Duraball (FBPC) The Duraball stability ball must be brought to room temperature before inflating and must be inflated in two stages.
Stage One: Inflate the ball to 80 percent of its maximum height and let it sit for a minimum of 24 hours.
Stage Two: After the 24-hour waiting period, inflate the ball to its maximum height.
Wait 24 hours before using the ball.

Because we're Canadian, eh? Seriously, our largest market is the United States which still uses the Imperial system of feet (ft. or ’), inches (in. or ”) and miles (mi.). Most of our suppliers are from countries that have modernized on the metric system of centimeters (cm), meters (m) and kilometers (km). We here in Canada have become accustomed to mixing our measurements. If you think that's confusing, you should see the problems we have settling on acceptable spelling conventions!

Fitterfirst products are for everyone no matter what your fitness level. However, we recommend that you check with your physician before making any changes in your physical activity.

Building your core stability is an important component of your workout program. Similar to a building's foundation, core stability gives you the ‘trunk strength’ and flexibility needed to perform daily activities and avoid injuries. Core stability is a stable muscle base, consisting of the abdominal group of muscles, the gluteal muscles, and your spinal muscles.

Proprioception is the body's ability to react appropriately to external forces. Often referred to as ‘muscle memory’ or ‘neuromuscular awareness’, proprioception is instrumental to an active, injury free lifestyle. Highly skilled athletes develop superior proprioception to help them use their muscle strength and endurance more efficiently. Proprioceptive exercises help form the basis for balance, coordination, strength and agility required to overcome injury and improve sports performance. VersaFitter, Pro Fitter, Wobble and Bongo Boards all integrate muscle development and proprioceptive training efficiently into one activity.
