Office Chair Exercise Ball
The stability ball is accommodating for your comfort. You can inflate or deflate it to adjust the firmness with the air-pump which is included with your purchase.
You also get an Exercise Guide with the Gaiam Balance Ball Chair and this manual gives the details on the stretches and exercises which can be performed when you are seated, or when you using the balance ball separately.
Referred to as “active sitting” while on a ball, you use your legs, abdominals and back.
Its a bit of an adaptation if you have never sat on a ball before. You might even notice you have sore muscles the first few days.
Consider easing into it and keep your old chair handy as you adjust.
By tilting your hips forward and back or side to side you engage your core muscles and if you just lift one leg slightly you get a workout.
