Ive been thinking about changing my chair at work to one of those balance chairs with the exercise ball in it. I was just curious how well it work to help with core strength and compfort. I thought you would have to be tall to make it work, im about 5'6".

does anyone have it? how often do you use it?

    I have a regular ball- my boss was so excited about the ball she got her own actual chair with casters and the ball in it.

    I actually like my ball as a chair better than her's, the ball chair has a signifantly smaller ball- and there is no back rest on the chair. (the thing that is there isnt' for resting on- it's for stabilizing while you are stretching or whatever.

    It's okay- I think it's not worth the 70+ bucks she spent when I spent 20 for a regular stability ball.

    I like mine though. I kept my regular chair- I switch out between them.
