1. Remove ball from plastic packaging. (It is normal for balls to have slight creases or fold marks when first infalted) This caused a smirk and snort from hubby when I read this out, I knew from here on in it was going to be difficult to maintain order.
2. Allow ball to reach room temperature prior to inflation. This Yes he says, that is always a good idea or it goes into hiding if cold. (by this time eldest child is beginning to smirk)
3. Remove pump from plastic wrap. No really? Says hubby, But I always thought you should use protection (by this time both children have started giggling)
4. Attach the grey end of the pump hose to the blue nozzle at the base of the pump. At the oppostie end of the hose, attach the smaller of the two white adapters to the end of the hose - your foot pump is now ready for use. Ah he says, very kinky.
5. Insert the adapter into the hole and hold firmly with one hand. I do all the time, he says, by now eldest child is rolling on floor in laughter. Inflate ball until it is 80% of its maximum size
is that when I have to stop pumping? he says. It lasts longer then.
6. Let ball sit for one hour. After waiting the recommended time follow the instructions above to inflate ball to optimum size. Reinsert plug when complete and wrap measuring tape round balls circumference until the ends meet. Oh look it gets quite big, must try that one!
By this itme we are all in fits of laughter and rolling on floor and yes we are trying to inflate the fit ball that came with my core secrets kit. He then spent a happy half hour watching the video and trying to help me balance on it. then I go and make things worse by saying the following "it makes a difference having a bigger ball, the other one was far too small, I can feel it work now!"
Much hilarity in this house tonight!
