How to Add Air to a Danskin Now Exercise Ball

The Danskin Now is a special product line endorsed by Gabby Reese, a celebrity fitness expert, and sold only at WalMart. The line includes several exercise balls, including a standard 65 centimeter ball and a mini, 25 centimeter ball. Most Danskin Now exercise balls include a small hand pump for filling or adding air to your ball. Only fill your ball to the maximum size printed on the ball -- if you have a 65 centimeter ball, only fill it to 65 centimeters.

Step 1

Hold a measuring tape against a wall. Measure from the floor up to the maximum height of the ball. For example, if you have a 25 centimeter ball, measure to 25 centimeters, or 9.8 inches, above the floor.

Step 2

Pull the plug out of the inflation hole. Immediately place your finger over the hole to keep air from escaping.

Step 3

Insert the nozzle on the end of your air pump into the inflation hole.

Step 4

Hold the nozzle in place while you pump air into the ball.

Step 5

Watch for the top of your ball to reach the mark you measured on the wall. Pull the nozzle out and immediately place the plug in the inflation hole. You are now at your maximum inflation point.

Tips and Warnings

  • Each Danskin Now exercise ball has a maximum user weight capacity marked on the outside of the ball. Do not use the ball if your weight exceeds the maximum user capacity.
  • Do not over-fill the ball.
