About Stability Balls

Stability or exercise balls offer unique fitness benefits. They enhance core strength and stability since maintaining balance on these balls engage deep core muscles. This improves posture and reduces the risk of back pain. Stabiltiy balls can be used to target different muscle groups, and is particularly effective for abdominal, back, and glute workouts. These balls also add an element of low-impact training, ideal for rehabilitation or those with joint concerns. You can even use a stability ball as a office chair replacement and a seat for watching television, which can be a sneaky way to get a little exercise in while doing more sedentary tasks!

Best Stability Balls for your Home Gym

In the quest for the ideal addition to your home gym, a stability or exercise ball emerges as a versatile choice, promising not only to augment your workouts but also to introduce a dynamic element to your fitness regime. The key to unlocking the full potential of this accessory lies in a careful consideration of several critical factors: size, durability, material quality, and the specific activities you intend to use it for. A fundamental guideline for selecting the correct size is to ensure that, when seated on the ball, both your hips and knees maintain a 90-degree angle, offering a range of sizes from 45 to 85 cm to accommodate most users comfortably. Below are our top picks:

  1. Check out the Theraband Pro Series Stability Ball. It's durable, inexpensive, and comes with an air pump. Most people have heard about Theraband for their top notch resistance bands. It’s a nice surprise to find that Theraband is making a really high quality and affordable ball now. This ball boasts slow deflate protection for added safety, and our experience confirms its robustness—never once encountering unintended deflation or the need to reinflate. There are multiple ball sizes available. The red 55cm diameter (22") stability ball is designed for individuals from 5'1" - 5'6" tall. The green 65cm diameter (26") ball is designed for individuals from 5'7" - 6'1" tall. The blue 75cm diameter (30") ball is designed for individuals from 6'2" - 6'8" tall. The yellow 45cm diameter (18") is designed for individuals from 4'7" - 5' tall.
  2. Power Systems ProElite Stability Ball: For those seeking a ball with a professional edge, the ProElite series stands out. Its distinctive dimpled surface and construction from heavy, thick-gauge PVC material enhance durability and shape retention. User height listing recommendations are as follows: 55cm for 5'1" to 5'7" and 65cm for 5'8" to 6'1" height ranges.
  3. If you want something that’ll look good doing double duty as an office chair, try the Enovi ProBalance Ball Chair with Slipcover and Base. The inclusion of a machine-washable slipcover addresses both the desire for visual appeal and practicality, hiding unsightly stains from that salsa snack and giving a more polished look to your workspace. It also has a simple base that helps keep your ball in place for those who tend to fidget a lot in their seats especially during heated Zoom meetings. There are plenty of color options and three ball sizes to choose from: 55cm for heights 4'10" - 5'3", 65cm for heights 5'4" - 5'10", and 75cm for heights 5'11" - 6'5". This ball comes with a little air pump, making setup a breeze.
