The Best Exercise Ball Options for the Home Gym in 2023

Sized smaller and able to withstand lots of vigorous bouncing, this Gaiam stability ball is designed just for children. It has a 300-pound weight capacity and functions well for both exercise and sitting (a Gaiam plastic chair to set the ball in, sold separately, can provide extra stability). It can help little ones improve balance and posture and is especially suited to fidgety youngsters.

The ball only comes in one size, 45 centimeters, so it's preferable for kids between the ages of 5 and 8. It may tend to deflate, but reinflation is simple. Note: Before first use, inflate it halfway and let it sit for 24 hours, then inflate fully.
