Product Description

This model comes with a 55cm ball. The benefits of sitting on an exercise ball while working are the same incorporating it in exercise routines; it promotes flexibility, coordination, motor skills, core strengthening, and balance. "Active sitting" means that your body, when positioned on top of an exercise ball, is constantly making small adjustments, often imperceptible, to remain balanced and thus is constantly exercising a large group of muscles in doing so. By strengthening your body's core muscle group you help improve your posture, have better balance and guard against back injuries. It takes some time before your body becomes accustom to sitting on an exercise ball, since your core muscles may not have gotten much exercise previously. Start by using it 10 to 15 minutes a day and gradually work your way up. If you have had back problems or injuries, make sure to consult your physician or therapist first. Pump sold separately

4.0 out of 5 stars Still satisified after 4 years!, June 10, 2006

This review is from: FitBall Exercise Ball Chair - with Choice of 55cm Ball (Misc.)

After reading the first review, I couldn't believe he had the same chair that I have. My office purchased this chair for me 4 years ago, I use it M-F 8-5, and I am still happy. I had to add air 1 time in 4 years. My only complaint is that the back of the chair loosens occasionally, but otherwise it is a great chair. My back has strengthened and has never felt better. I think he just didn't put enough air in the ball. This chair is worth the money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for piriformis syndrome prevention, January 3, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this chair to help alleviate and prevent piriformis syndrome, which is an irritated sciatic nerve as a result of an inflamed piriformus muscle.

It has worked well; the ball is very heavy-duty and has not had any problems. The castors are cheap and do not roll well.

The chair will force you to improve your seating posture; you must sit erect to remain balanced. Your back will be slightly sore for a couple of weeks, but you will adapt quickly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product!!, July 4, 2006

The fit ball chair is wonderful - burn calories without feeling the pain. If you are short - you may want to opt for the small ball - I had to buy a foot rest to use with mine. Also, vary your seating positions to get optimal results.

The chair is sturdy and easy to assemble. However, you may want to get a pump - I used one I had from a fitness ball and it still took some time.
