This 55cm Avec yoga exercise ball suits people from about 140cm to 165cm tall and comes in red, black or blue. It’s from Avec’s commercial range, the kind of ball you’d find in a gym or a busy studio.
The PVC body has a ribbed, matte finish so it’s easy to hold and doesn’t slide around under your hands or skin. It holds its shape well when you shift your weight, which matters most in balance and core work.

Who it suits
At 55cm this is the ball for shorter adults. It also suits offices and classrooms that use balls as seats for smaller people. Use it alongside a normal chair and swap between the two through the day.
For exercise, try seated marching, bridges with your heels on the ball, or lying back over it for a gentle stretch through the front of the body. Start next to a wall or a sturdy chair so you have something to grab while you get used to the movement. Add a balance disc or medicine ball when you want more of a challenge.
Taller than 165cm? The 65cm Avec ball is the same ball one size up. The Swiss ball size guide has the full height chart.

Care
Inflate it in two stages over a day, then check the size against a 55cm mark on a wall. Clean it with a damp cloth and a little mild soap. Keep it out of hot cars and strong sun, and away from gravel and sharp edges. If it’s going into storage, let some air out first.
