Peanut Gym Ball

Our Peanut Balls are very versatile! They are a gym ball / yoga ball but in a peanut shape (two rounded ends), making them more stable, able to support more independence and safety, and suitable for lots of fun bouncing with both feet flat on the ground if needed.

They're an important addition to every therapy clinic, sensory room, and home as they are a really safe tool for kids that:

• crave movement (especially bouncing) in order to self-regulate
• need to improve their core strength and bilateral integration (but in a fun way, like wheelbarrow walks)
• climb, bounce and flip upside down on the couch when watching a screen (they can gently bounce on the Peanut Ball over and over instead... for as long as they need to get their movement needs met
• need a bit more stability than using a normal round gym ball
• need a good option for rainy day movement and fun
• need to do therapy exercises for improving core strength, balance, bilateral integration and coordination such as ""Wheelbarrow Walks""
• would enjoy saddle sitting independently and bouncing gently while watching a movie or doing gaming
• crave movement during desktop tasks to satisfy their need to move and help to activate their ability to focus attention

Do not over inflate - use a measuring tape for accurate inflation. The peanut ball should measure approx. 40cm in height.

Store exercise balls at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat. Prolonged sunlight and heat weakens the
material, shortening their lifespan.

Make sure there’s a suitable area for people to use exercise balls. Keep them away from sharp edges of furniture, other equipment, or objects that may cause
damage. Check that the floor surface is suitable to fall on such as carpet or soft flooring. This also helps to keep people safe from being injured on other equipment if they happen to fall off the ball.

Use caution if using them outdoors as they may be punctured or damaged on rough surfaces.

Encourage people to avoid wearing or carrying sharp objects such as jewellery or keys in their pockets whilst using the balls as these could cause damage.

Regularly check gym ball for marks, scratches or other damage. If you do find a scratch or damage, don’t try to repair it, discontinue use as it’s no longer safe.

Make sure you know if it’s safe for your gym members and personal training clients to use exercise balls and instruct them appropriately. For example, it may not be safe for someone with balance problems or other medical conditions to use exercise balls. As with any exercise equipment selection, use appropriate screening, guidance and supervision.

An adult should always supervise the use of gym balls and make sure the child can use the gym ball safely and has full control of their body. For example, it may not be safe for someone with balance problems or other medical conditions to use exercise gym balls or may require close supervision.
