I have just purchased a large 65 inch stability ball to sit on while I'm at work instead of my chair. I sat on it all day yesterday, and today when I woke up, I could feel it in my butt and my legs. I never thought that what you sit on makes that big of a difference. At first it was wired, but I already love it. It also forces me to get up off my butt more often because it doesn't role around like my chair did. I even did a few crunches during lunch because, hey I was already on my ball, might as well get a couple in.

I hope everyone that can sit on one at work will, because it is GREAT!!!

    I just bought a stability ball a several weeks ago, just because the weather keeps me from going to the gym on some days. I have been really surprised how fun these are to use as far as core exercises go! I think I'll start doing what your doing, as well, and use it to sit on while on my computer. Thanks for the idea!:smile:

    Hmmmm, I am going to have to try this while I am at the computer. I'm sure that I won't be on my butt online as often, lol.

    I moved my ball in here and I am sitting on it right now. Obviously, it needs to be inflated. lol

    It is also great for kids with ADHD to sit on while they are doing homework. They can move around on the ball and it can help them concentrate on their work.

    Stability balls (sometimes called fitness balls or exercise balls) are great for the core.
