Dump Those Chairs and Sit on a Ball!
Written by Cyrill Exxonell
Give this this a go at home or work!
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. So after almost dying of hysterical laughter for a few minutes, I googled it, and saw the light. It turns out it's good for you.This applies to whether you are at the office or working at home in the basement, these balance ball chairs are god-send for your aching backs. 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. An exercise ball causes to you to change your position often to balance. Doing simple things such as turning to face the phone, will result in your body assuming anew position. This helps reduce damage caused by prolonged sitting in the same position.
3. Quick workouts are 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. If you are ever stuck waiting for a minute or two, you can make productive use of that time with a quick workout or stretch. 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. This is because you continuously try not to fall, in effect, improving your balance and strengthening your muscles. The result? An overall better balance, that can be observed out of the office.
5. Get that 6-pack abs you have always wanted. As you balance yourself while you are sitting on the ball, your abdominal muscles are the ones working the hardest to maintain your balance. Thus, you are essentially getting a low-key abdominal workout. This might not sound like a big deal but when you count the hours you spend sitting at your desk or in front of the computer, the numbers start to count. These hours pile up and before you know it, you start developing that 6-pack abs.
6. It's great for the circulation. Sitting on an exercise ball promotes good blood flow throughout your body for the whole 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's a fact that if you stay in just one position for prolonged periods, it's guaranteed you will feel more exhausted by the end of the day, as compared to constantly moving around and feeling more energetic as a result. Using an exercise ball as a chair is a good way to ensure that you will be energized by the end of your working day.
8. Burn up hundreds of calories per day. 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. Even if you do not burn 350 a day, the least it will do is to help you keep in shape.
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. Much cheaper than buying an ergonomic chair, which can range anywhere from $100 to $400 and up.
10. It's really a lot of fun! Who doesn’t like the idea of bouncing around on an exercise ball all day. Exercise balls are an exciting alternative to chairs, and may just give that spark of fun to your day.

monster beats the 2004 presidential election under dubious circumstances when large numbers of provincial votes in her favor were thought to be fraudulent. Nonetheless, she has been in power for eight years, longer than any president since the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos was ousted by People Power in 1986 after 20 years in power.
