The FitBALL® Donut is an inflatable exercise device designed for a variety of fitness and strengthening exercises. It is intended for indoor use and offers a stable yet dynamic surface for workouts.

Function Description:

The primary function of the FitBALL® Donut is to provide an unstable surface that engages core muscles and improves balance during exercises. It can be used for modified sit-ups, push-ups, core-strengthening routines, balance and strengthening exercises, and modified side-stretches with leg lifts, as demonstrated in the sample exercises. The donut shape allows for a more stable base compared to a traditional exercise ball, making it accessible for a wider range of users while still providing a challenge. Its inflatable nature means its firmness can be adjusted to some extent, although it is primarily inflated to a specific size rather than pressure.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Inflation Method: The donut is inflated by size, not pressure.
• Maximum Diameter (Small Donut): 20 inches when stood on its side.
• Maximum Diameter (Large Donut): 26 inches when stood on its side.
• Inflation Tool: A FitBALL pump or compressor is recommended for inflation.
• Material: The manual does not specify the exact material, but it is an inflatable product designed for exercise.
• Intended Environment: Indoor use only.

Usage Features:

• Inflation Process:
  1. Remove the donut from its box and inspect for shipping damage. Slight fold marks are normal upon initial inflation.
  2. Ensure the donut is at room temperature before inflating.
  3. Remove the plug from the donut.
  4. Measure the desired height (20" for small, 26" for large) using tape or a pencil mark on a wall or door.
  5. Inflate the donut to the desired height using a FitBALL pump or compressor. Do not exceed the maximum specified size.
  6. Replace the plug once inflation is complete.
  7. If difficulty is encountered in inflating to full size, leave it inflated for 24 hours and then add more air the next day until the correct size is reached.
• Exercise Versatility: The donut supports a range of exercises, including:
  • Modified sit-ups (Example 1)
  • Modified push-ups (Example 2)
  • Core-strengthening exercises, such as leg lifts at 30, 45, and 90 degrees (Example 3)
  • Balance and strengthening exercises, involving lifting hands and legs with control (Example 4)
  • Modified side-stretches with leg lifts (Example 5)
• User Safety:
  • Consult a physician, trainer, or therapist before starting any exercise program.
  • Exercise according to your physical condition.
  • Persons with poor balance should use the donut under close supervision.
  • Stop exercising immediately and consult a physician if experiencing nausea, shortness of breath, head/chest pains, or similar symptoms.
  • Ensure an unobstructed space around the donut to prevent injury.
  • Perform all exercises slowly and with control, maintaining proper body position, as there is a risk of falling and severe injury.
  • Bare feet are recommended for exercise; if slipping occurs, athletic shoes or a mat can be used.
