The Benefits Of An Exercise Ball Chair
People are discovering that by using exercise ball chairs they are able to alleviate back pain to a large degree. Many users are claiming that they have removed the pain entirely by using this. This is because the muscles in the back become considerably stronger after using this incredible exercise device.
Apart from strengthening the muscles, the posture will improve as well. The real advantage to this is that this happens while one is sitting in the chair. This means time is saved as one can continue to work, read or perform any other task that could take up valuable time.
These are generally easy to use and come with instructions. Although, apparently instructions are not required to use these. Some are essentially yoga balls that sit on a plastic chair base. While some come with a backing, it might be best to get one without the backing. This will help make the back stronger and improve posture, as the back has to work at keeping upright without any support.
While one is sitting on the chair the body is continually made to make small movements to adjust when sitting on the ball. All of this causes many muscles to be continually working and this obviously strengthens them. This is far more beneficial than sitting on a conventional chair.
This process of strengthening the body is referred to as active sitting. Posture improves which causes the balance to improve and therefore the back has much better protection against getting injured in any way.
Exercise ball chairs with bases are great as one is able to remove the base and use the ball to exercise with. This is great for strengthen using the abs. Most conventional chairs cause people to hunch over and this is very bad for the posture and does can use back problems.

Using a balance ball as a chair?
I've heard of using a balance ball as a chair to strengthen core muscles. So I'm sitting on mine right now at my desk and I'm not sure it's really doing anything for me. Has anyone else tried it and had results? Or is it kind of pointless?
Even if you sit in a regular chair using good posture (keeping your back straight and stomach in under your chest) you are developing your core muscles. So if that is what your doing on a balance ball it WILL do something for you. Stick with it.
