• I have worked in Manhattan for a while, and recently, I
started to notice this strange phenomenon where some
executives started sitting on a gym ball, instead of using
their regular chairs. You have to admit it's a bit beyond
hilarious but after checking it out on the web, it turns out
it's a good thing for you.
• Whether you spend your desk time at the office, or
studying at home for that next exam, office ball chairs can
help you in many ways. Here are some of the benefits of
using an exercise ball as your chair.

• 1. Forces proper spine alignment. Because an exercise ball
is not stable, your body needs to try to balance itself on it.
The perfect spinal posture is coincidentally the easiest to
balance with. Thus, your body will automatically try to align
itself into the proper posture. This helps improve your spinal
health, and decrease back pains.
• 2. Causes you to frequently change positions. This is
because you are always trying to balance yourself. Doing
simple things such as turning to face the phone, will result
in your body assuming anew position. The more you shift,
the less damage your body incurs due to prolonged sitting in
same pose.

• 3. Quick workout is always there. A great thing about using
this alternative to a chair, is that you can do stretches or
mini-workouts whenever you want, without getting up.
Anytime you get bored, just do a quickie exercise. Since its
convenient, you will find yourself doing it more frequently,
which will work wonders for your health.
• 4. Your sense of balance will be improved. This is expected.
Sitting on an unstable surface all day will improve your
sense of balance, as well as the reactions of your muscles.
The result? An overall better balance, that can be observed
out of the office.

• 5. Improve those abs! As you balance yourself while you are
sitting on the ball, your abdominal muscles are the ones
working the hardest to maintain your balance. In effect, you
are getting a continuous abdominal workout as you sit. This
may not sound like a lot, but consider the amount of time
you spend on your computer at the office, or at home.
Those hours can build up, and result in a strengthening of
ab muscles.
• 6. Improves your circulation. Using an exercise ball will
keep the blood flowing to all parts of your body, throughout
the day. A desk chair on the other hand, reduces circulation
to some parts of the body after prolonged use.

• 7. You start feeling that energy boost. It has been proven
that staying in one position, will make you more tired, while
moving around and being active with give you more energy.
With an exercise ball as a chair, you will feel much more
energized after you finish your work.
• 8. Burn calories as you sit! The more you move, the more
calories you burn. Burning 350 calories per day allows you to
lose one pound of fat every two weeks. You may not burn
quite 350, but nonetheless, it will help you stay fit.

• 9. Really cheap. These exercise balls, or balance ball chairs
will cost you from $10 for the ball to $80 for the ball and
the chair that holds it. This is a bargain if you compare it to
those Herman Miller ergonomic chairs that can cost you
thousands of dollars!
• 10. It's really a lot of fun! Everyone is a kid at heart when
you think about it, so look at it as feeding your inner child
as you bounce around all day. Work is generally boring, so
anything that will relieve it while keeping you in shape, is
definitely welcome.
