C.H.E.K Institute burst-resistant DuraBall Pro Swiss balls.

Do you use a swiss ball for balance and resistance training? I do, and I’m not really interested in it BLOWING UP while I’m laying on it with a bunch of weight!

Picture this… You cheap out and buy a flimsy FitBall. You’re kneeling on your new ball doing some dumbbell curls, when BOOM!!! The damn thing explodes! Your dumbells go flying and maybe land in the TV. If you’re lucky… maybe just on your head. Oh, not to mention you just blew out your knee when it hit the floor all twisted up.

Now you have $20k in medical bills, all because you cheaped out on your ball and took some girlfriend you’ll never see again to a movie with the cash you saved. I’m sure she’ll like you after you get fat from sitting around recovering from your injuries.

You can and will dramatically increase balance, strength and refine performance with a good swiss ball. You can even use it at your desk as a chair for years to come!

Chek duraball

Paul Chek endorsed DuraBall burst-resistant Swiss balls, have been developed to be the world’s very best Swiss Ball. Paul Chek recommends using a new, stronger & safer DuraBall Pros for resistance training.

How do I know what size Swiss ball to use?

Here’s a sizing chart:

45cm ball 2500lbs static load burst-resistant up to 1000lbs – height is less than 5′2”
55cm ball 2500lbs static load burst-resistant up to 1000lbs – height is 5′2” to 5’8″
65cm ball 2500lbs static load burst-resistant up to 1000lbs – 5’9″ to 6’2″ – Hey that’s me :)
75cm ball 2000lbs static load burst-resistant up to 800lbs – 6’3″ to 6’9″

Sizing a Swiss Ball for exercise:
The ball should be firm and the exerciser’s thighs should be parallel to the floor when sitting on the ball.

Sizing a Swiss Ball for using as a chair:
Use one size larger than you would need for exercise, and inflate until your thighs are parallel to the floor. The ball will be soft and more comfortable to sit on.

These balls are a more expensive, but about the time you have one of those cheap ass ones blow up on you, you’ll wish you spent a little extra on a piece of quality equipment.
