Workout ball

that is a wonderful idea! who cares how dorky anyone thinks you are!! I've been entertaining this idea at my job for quite some time now, so i have to ask which size ball you got, to enable you to be at the right height at your desk?
Any way that you find comfortable to sit on the ball is the right way! This is improving your balance and also utilizing alot of your core muscles just to stay upright all day! BRAVO for this move towards a healthier lifestyle, even while working a desk job like alot of us have to do. Keep me updated, as I am right behind you on this wonderful idea, cant wait to get my ball.
Let them laugh at you, in the end you will be the one coming out on top because you can still get up and down with ease and have been burning extra calories from maintaining balance all day!

I know this guy that was afraid of what people thought with him exercising, so he didn't want to do too much, i.e. to get laughed at (he's a c.o. at a prison) so he combines his exercising at night (just sitting on the ball) so that he can do that while watching his tv shows. By the end of the night he's broken out into a sweat in order to keep his balance. So, in his mind, minimal effort for maximum results.

I've tried it, but I can't get through an entire SVU show yet!! :blushing:

I've just started this as well a little over a week ago! :bigsmile:

And personally, I have no plans on logging "sitting" on it. Any other exercise you betcha. Sitting is challenging enough to actually "Do" something on it will be killer! :laugh:

<< Is there any particular way I should be sitting on it? >>

I am practically in constant motion. I will bounce on mine like a hippity hop as I am waiting for pages to load. Or I straddle it and lift my feet, hugging the sides ( think sitting on a horse. ) trying to keep my balance or myself stable-ish. :laugh: Also I do mini circular motions alternating directions. So far thats been entertaining enough, I'm still new to this too.

I will keep my eye on this thread and my fingers poised in case I or any of you come up with something new.

Happy Hovering!! :bigsmile:

I have a ball at home and I work at a desk all day long, not much exercise. That is an awesome idea to bring it to work and try to sit on it. At home I use it to do crunches and other exercises but I think I am going to try it at work. I work with all guys so I am sure they will laugh but when they see me skinny and hot they won't laugh no more will they.

Have you seen that episode on The Office? too funny

i got the 75 ball today. it is huge! i blew it up to the recommended circumfrence (im not that tall, but i plan on getting another smaller ball as well...) So i am currently deflating it a little at a time to get it to the right height. I definitely think that the 75 is for taller people... even underinflated from the suggested size it is still very stout and sturdy!
