I want to know which size ball to gt for a man weighing about 175 lbs. should it be a silver or gold one.?

Gold ones are a bit larger and easier to use...so more about flexibility and strength at this point...Does he practice yoga? Is he tight from other sports? I have used both...gold with workshops and available...silver is the one I own...just a bit smaller and therefore a bit firmer/harder....if new to all this probably the gold one. Hope this helps

Both will support someone weighing 175 lbs. The gold ball is a more gentle experience, because it is bigger and softer. If he's new to massage or has particularly tight muscles, the gold ball might be more appropriate? But another option, if you're worried about the intensity, is to get the silver ball and not inflate it all the way -- to leave a bit of give when you squeeze it with your fingers. You could then inflate it more fully after some weeks of use.

With the ball itself, all it takes is patience and skill. Luck doesn't hurt, if you're working with an oddly-shaped item. Personally, I'd use the smaller one, the 'mini'.

I have a total gym XL and they fit very well. I would assume the TG Gold would be similar. Easy to put on and take off. Go for it.L. H.

I got this ball for my 7 and 8 year old grandsons and it was a little to big. It should be fine for a 10-11 year old.

I think the 8.5" is a great all-purpose size for most age ranges. How do you intend to use it? When I was a kid we occasionally used larger sized balls for 4square, but the 8.5" offers better ball handling / control.

I am not sure what you mean. I have the green ball weighing 15 pounds. 4 pounds would be awfully light and may not give you a good workout.

I do not believe the size is on the ball but I would say it's a small ball. The smallest of the three choices when buying an exercise ball.

The gold ball is larger than the silver ball and it is also a bit softer. The gold ball makes for a less-intense routine.

The purple one is the right size for handball. Each color should be a different size.

Yes, the silver ball is very firm. For newbies sometimes the gold/yellow ball is preferable. The yellow ball is also slightly larger.

I searched online and found size/weight requirements for exercise balls. Try searching "exercise ball sizing chart".

They have a good amount of stretch to them so if the ball isn't much bigger than the leg right above the ball I would go with the size of the leg right above and it should stretch around. I ordered the exact size as mine and they slip down so snug would be best.

I have a Golden that weighs 85lbs. You might need the xtra large if they have it.

Jay, I personally would not want smaller sizes for lighter weights. I can say the grip on this is good and that's about all I was looking for in the ball.

I have used both and this ball is worth the extra money. The grip on the ball is superior to any other ball I have used.

The diameter should be 55 centimeters, from one side to the other side going through the center. I think some companies may make the same size in different colors. My understanding is that the size should be on your ball, either near the brand name or around the end where it is to be inflated. I would check for a size, perhaps you were sent a wrong size.
