It's amazing. At first, my boss shot me down. Working in a law firm, a ball alone would have been a little too ridiculous. When I found the chair framed exercise ball, my boss was too curious to say no. Now everyone is interested. I find it not only more comfortable, but I feel awake and engaged. I couldn't be happier.

At the end of every day my calves and ankles would be swollen slightly due to bad circulation and my office chair was beginning to wreak havoc on my back and shoulders. Today is my first day using the ball instead of a chair and I have to say, it's amazing! My energy level has increased dramatically (usually I feel the need for a nap in the mid-afternoon) and if I'm doing something particularly boring I can bounce on the ball for a little added fun. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner; it's definitely worth a try if you're even just the tiniest bit interested. My ball only cost $15 at Academy so it's not much of a monetary risk. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a little more physical involvement in their boring work day.

The lack of exercise or movement of anykind makes me extremely tired and ashamed to say Lazy. The ball for me was simply so I could get blood back into my heart. now that i'm constantly moving i have more energy and more motivated to get work done. I guess everything else is just bonus.

I have a stressful life, no time for exercise, im starting to have fats on my belly, and im worried about that. But i know i have to do exercise it's still the best thing to do to burn those unwanted fats.

I can't wait to try that chair, I also spend more than 8 hours per day sitting in front of my desk and my body is clearly resenting it. Good catch! thanks for sharing it what a great Idea!

I have been sitting in it for a few weeks and I love it! Great for my back problems. I got mine from Walmart, and it is made with some sand in it, which keeps it from rolling on its own.
