Inflation and Care Instructions for your Fitness and Peanut Balls: 

To ensure your new Fitness or Peanut Ball lasts and performs optimally, proper inflation is key. This 3-day Method allows the material to stretch gradually and safely reach its maximum size.

Important Safety Tips:

• Use the Right Pump: You can purchase a pump from us by clicking here or use a hand pump, foot pump, or electric inflator made for inflatables. Avoid high-pressure air compressors.

• Clear Surface: Inflate on a flat area, free from sharp objects.

• No Over-Inflation: Don't rush to fully inflate. The 3-day method prevents damage from rapid over-stretching.

The 3-Day Inflation Method:

This method allows your ball's material to gradually expand, preventing damage and ensuring it reaches its full size.

Day 1: Initial Inflation

1. Insert Nozzle: Find the inflation plug and insert your pump's nozzle.

2. Inflate Firmly: Pump air until the ball is taut but not stretched to its limit.

   • Fitness Ball: Firm to the touch, smooth surface.

   • Peanut Ball: Firm to the touch, central dip defined.

3. Insert Plug: Quickly remove the pump and insert the stopper plug.

4. Rest for 24 Hours: Let the ball sit for 24 hours to allow the material to relax and stretch.

Day 2: Further Inflation

1. Inflate More: After 24 hours the ball may feel softer – this is normal. Re-insert the pump and inflate further, getting closer to its maximum diameter. It should be very firm but still slightly pliable.

2. Rest for 24 Hours: Let the ball rest for another 24 hours for continued stretching.

Day 3: Final Inflation & Max Size

1. Inflate to Max: After another day, pump until the ball reaches its full, recommended size and is very firm.

   • Fitness Ball: Very firm and taut. Use a measuring tape to check the diameter if you’re unsure (e.g., 55cm, 65cm, 75cm).

   • Peanut Ball: Both sides are firm and plump and the central dip is firm and stable.

After Inflation:

• Clean: Wipe down with a damp cloth if needed.

• Store: Keep in a cool, dry place away from heat and sharp objects.

• Check for Reinflation: Periodically check for firmness and re-inflate as needed.

By following these steps, your fitness or peanut ball will be safely and effectively stretched to its full potential, ready for use.
