Default Stability ball question

Does anyone know how big your stability ball should be, as compared to your height? I have one, but I feel like it's too big. Is there a guide of some sort?

Thanks!

Hello! I found the answer on about.com I've found it to be a very reliable site.

http://exercise.about.com/cs/exercis...erciseball.htm



Choosing an Exercise Ball
Before you buy a ball, make sure it's the right size for your height. To test it, sit on the ball and make sure your hips are level or just slightly higher than the knees : 55 cm - 4'11" - 5'4"
65 cm - 5'5" - 5'11"
75 cm - 6'0" - 6' 7"
