Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Improve your posture and reduce fatigue at home or in the office with the DynaFlex BC0112 ball fitness chair. Ergonomically designed to align your body while relieving tension and stress on your back, the fitness chair provides a healthy, proactive sitting position, thereby engaging your postural muscles and allowing you to experience the benefits of movement while remaining seated. The chair works by constantly encouraging some type of motion, helping keep you alert throughout the day. That's because the unstable surface encourages your body to find the most efficient way to balance. Since the best way to sit is with proper spinal alignment, you'll have a natural tendency to sit upright with good posture, thereby improving your balance, posture, core stability, and core strength all in one. A ball chair even helps improve circulation, letting you sit back without back stiffness and fatigue. Best of all, research has shown that seemingly minor physical activity--such as active sitting--can burn up to 350 extra calories a day.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great item for the price, March 15, 2008

I bought this since my husband and I were looking for ways to improve core strength. It has proved to be a good addition to our exercise and stretching/yoga programs. Since you spend so much time on the computer, you might as well use a chair that helps you improve your posture and strength, while preventing you from slouching.
The ball chair arrived with no instructions and missing the thin metal bar that is supposed to help keep the ball in position, but I've found it isn't necessary. The ball also needs a little inflating every couple of weeks, but again, no big deal. It's a great affordable substitute for similar chairs, such as the Evolution Chair, which retails for twice the price. I recommend using it for a short time, maybe 30 minutes daily, then gradually working up to all-day use over a 2-3 week period so your back doesn't get tired and you gradually build up core strength. All in all, a great item!

2.0 out of 5 stars The height is not adjustable which is a big problem, June 16, 2008

I ordered this thinking that it could possibly adjust to height differences, or that it would be tall enough for me to sit on comfortably. It is very short and there is no way to adjust it. I do like sitting on it but it puts me low to the ground which I do not like. It would not be compatible with most desks unless you have a tray that can move up and down for your keyboard.

I bought this as a replacement for my desk chair. Since I am at my desk and computer so much, I figured that I should make sure that I got something that would help my posture as well as finding a place for my tush. Now that I have had it for a month, I've no real complaints. Since I'm 6'3", I was concerned that the base and ball would make me too high for my desk, but the 55" ball that came with it is just right for my height. The base is not adjustable up or down, by the way. Perhaps I didn't read the description correctly, but I wasn't aware that it came with a ball, so wasted some money buying an extra one. The only other "ding" on the product is that it is priced high for what you get (a plastic mold with wheels). However, it is cheaper and better for you than a regular chair, so no real complaints. Thumbs up!
