  1. I was going crazy trying to insert a Basketball needle in the white thingie and firing up my big compressor.

    You saved me , Thanks!!

  2. You missed the critical part. You showed the plug already partially out. I’m sure it’s not a biggie but that’s the bit I needed to know. Thanks anyway

  3. Thank you for keeping this simple. I have a foot powered pump, but I think the principle is the same.

  4. Thanks but can you please show or say what kind of pump tip is supposed to be used on these balls?

  5. :35 – He glossed over the fact that the hardest part is to take out the plug because you can't just pull it out with your fiber or nail.

  6. Thanks so much, short and to the point. I’ll check out your channel for other videos.

  7. Thank you for this video I tried that exact thing prior to finding this video each time I try to inflate it when I try to put the plug in so much air comes out I was just wondering if there is an easier way thank you

  8. Omg im strugglin. I was just pumpin n puming for like 10 min .my arms so yited and i broke a sweat just to find i was getting somewhere then i wss letting out more ait then putting in. This stupid hand pump. I read instructions and it says not use to one those air comprrssor pumps bc sumin about temp of air or sumin..it could pop. And to use the band it comes with so u dont over inflate .the band measure outs where it should be. I wish i could use my pump for the blow up matress i dunno i might try it. Bc i have now accidentlg let out more air than it had before i started to try to reinflate it.
    Has anybody used pump that u use to blow up air matress? Can u use that? I mean sorry if its a stupid question. I would think u can but now im all worried about it popping lol
    I had saved the box with thr instructions and pump and band to measure how much to blow it up. I have had ball for about 3 yrs and it just need a refill but dammit im struggling. The pump was blowing it up but i can hear the air leaking out as i pump so im just over hear. Over excurting myself.

  9. Thanks! bought the ball some years ago, didn't realize you need to remove the plug. Thanks again!

  10. I was taking online classes from 9 – 5 so I was having to sit for long periods at a time. https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxEhgucmXpcAGYh8fatGFEnOK2V97VIwhG After the first day in a regular table chair, I thought about an exercise ball and ordered one that night. It came the next day! My hips, legs, back and butt couldn't have been happier! I'm almost 5'11" and I ordered the largest size and it was perfect for me. I also have RLS (restless legs) and this helped so much.Pumping it up was a little challenging and definitely gives you a good arm workout, (I'm a 62 yo woman) but it's very doable. Getting the tape centered with the hole to inflate it and then getting the pin back in was also a little tricky. But I love my new "chair" and I love the torquiose color. Hopefully it will also get used for exercise. 😁

  11. Dude

    I have just bought a cheap hand pump and it has a thin metal tube
