Gymball ? Fitball?

[catherineq]

I'm now close to third trimester and start to think about buying a fitball for exercise. Is it same as gymball? I saw it selling at Target for less than 20 dollars, it's consider not expensive. But is it same as fitball? How to choose one suitable? I'm about 55kg now but I'm sure I'm going to about 60kg soon.

Yeah they are all the same. It's best to go by your height for the size of ball. For example I'm 156cm and use a 60cm ball at home and a 65cm one at Pilates.

I got an exercise for pregnancy dvd that used a fit ball and I bought a $20 one from kmart, and it's quite small. Not nearly as big as I was expecting, thought it would be more the size of the birthing balls they have at hospitals. I've never used it.
