    I have 2 stability balls. For a long time, I used one to sit on while working on my computer. It was a suggestion made by a friend's physiotherapist. - 3/1/2013 8:34:47 AM

    I just purchased a 75 cm ball with some of my Christmas money. It was only $9.99 at Meijer (on sale). I'm almost 5' 11", 263 lb. But my legs are at a 90 degree angle, so I think I got the right choice. The weight makes a difference, I think. Looking forward to doing some stability ball workouts! - 1/20/2013 6:27:45 PM

    I got the big ball, even though it isn't supposed to be the right size for my height (5 feet tall). In order to get my knees at the correct angle (due to heavier weight at 298), I needed the larger ball. I've loved mine. It does save on the knees, which mine were bad and is better for someone with mobility issues. Just realized it's losing air, though, so we'll have to put more in. Weigh less now (221), so it doesn't sink as much, but still too much for the workouts I want to do. - 12/18/2012 2:33:36 PM

    Unfortunately, my current computer does not have sound working on it. Is there an article I can read that goes into this information? Or a transcript of the video? :( - 11/8/2012 11:28:29 AM

    I recently brought one of these; got the 55cm size based on my height of just over 5'. Even with it inflated properly, it's too small for me based on the knees needing to be at a 90 degree angle and thighs parallel to the floor. And it's too late to return it to the store. I need to figure out if I should go for the 65 or 75 cm one next... - 10/9/2012 2:30:58 PM
