How do I blow up/inflate the ball?
Ok...so it's easy when you know how, and to help you get started right away we've even enclosed a complementary straw - cos we're nice like that ;)
- Take the ball and insert the inflation straw into the small hole on the ball.
- With the other hand get the plug handy as you will need this in a minute...
- Gently blow into the straw until the ball is fully inflated.
- With the straw still inserted, place your finger over the end of the straw to keep the air in.
- Now...here's the technical bit ;) quickly switch the straw for the stopper - push it in until it's flush with the ball - a secure fit will help your ball stay air tight.
- Don't worry if there's a little puff of air during the switch - you'll still have enough 'squish' in your ball for your exercises ;)
