Balance Ball Chairs?

Options
Has anyone tried these? Does it really work your core that much just sitting in them while at work? Do you get sick of sitting in it after a few months? lol

I was checking out these..

    Used to use a stability ball for my home office because I didn't want to shell out the cash for a new chair when the old one bit the dust.

    1. I'd say MINIMAL core effort at best, but if you add a seat back like these...then it's just a chair. And uncomfortable *kitten* chair.

    2. Gave up on it in the summer as sitting on a rubber ball in any form of heat has a less than desirable effect in your nethers.
