I bought this to sit on at work. I was hoping that it would help my posture (I have a tendency to slump) and strengthen my core to help address some lower back problems.

After a month of use, I love it and have recommended it to several people--including people at work who want to know what the heck I'm sitting on.

As I hoped, it basically demands good posture. Also, my abs are definitely getting stronger. I could feel it working about 20 minutes into the first time I sat on it. And today I noticed in the mirror that my upper abs definitely have more definition.

Great for anyone who wants a core strengthening exercise they don't have to think about and that doesn't add any time to your day.

This balance disk is easy to incorporate into my daily activity. I stand on it while I fold laundry. I alternate between one-legged standing and standing upon it with both feet. Sparkpeople has free video demos of ways to use it, so I follow those sometimes.

I hadn't thought to sit on in a chair, so that adds another dimension of usefulness.

The only reason I give this 3 instead of 4 stars is that the inflation process can be a bit of a hassle to figure out. The manufacturer should include instructions. You don't need the bike tire needle-looking part to inflate it. I just pulled out the little white plug and used the included pump.

I bought this to use on my desk chair to improve my posture and make working at my desk less sedentary. Because you have to subtly but constantly work at maintaining your position your muscles will definitely feel it until you get used to it. All in all I'm very happy with it and it was worth the price just for the laughs the first time I sat on it!

I bought this for my 87 year old mother who has neurolagia in her legs. She has found this to be the most comfortable seat for any kind of sitting. No pressue on the backs of her legs and because she can control the firmness of the cushion she has no pressure on her lower spine. Great product for her needs!

I have chronic lower back pain, which is exacerbated by sitting for long periods. When I get stuck in the office, the rest of the week is spent trying to relieve the pain and stiffness. Since I started using this disc at the office, I rarely get the pain anymore! Plus, if something else stresses my back, I can sit on the disc and work out the problems in five to twenty minutes. I was skepical at first, but I will be getting more sitting discs!
It was very easy to inflate, seems very durable so far, and it adds an extra fitness tool to my workouts.

I'd used a similar product at my gym which prompted me to purchase the JFit Balance Training Disc (for home use). I use it to add a balance challenge to my workout routine and also to give me an isometric and static strength training workout. Just standing on it (while washing the dishes, or doing bi-cep curls, or lunges) will turn on the muscles in your feet, your legs, your glutes...right up to your core stabilizer muscles. The pump that comes with it is easy to use and you can inflate or deflate the disc for different balances challenges.

This is a great and cheap piece of exercise equipment. It really works your stabilizer muscles. I was getting bored with my fitness ball and was looking for something to switch it up a bit. This was a great choice. I like to use it for lunges, ab work, bridge work(put the disc under your feet and lift your backside up-you will feel this working!), and just trying to balance on one foot. It comes inflated, with a pump and a poster to show some moves you can do with it.

This was a life saver for my back issues.
Sitting all day is one of the worst things you can do anyway, much less when you have a degenerative disc.
The disc takes the pressure off the spine, thus taking off the pressure on the discs in your spine.

After transitioning to a new job where I sit at a computer the majority of the day, I was having nerve issues in my legs -- this disc changed my life! I am an extremely active person and the nerve issues were affecting my daily runs, productivity at work and overall health. I sit on the disc pretty much all day. No longer do I have pain radiating down my legs and I'm less fidgety. Its improved my posture, too. I'm back to normal, thanks to the disc!

We have this for our autistic little girl. We use it on her Tripp Trapp high chair for sitting at the table. It is much cheaper than a sensory cushion but provides the feedback she needs. We just put a little bit of air in it and it works great.
