New office chair for work

[snowboardjoe]

At the suggestion of one of those trainer tips on The Biggest Loser, I chose to try out using an exercise ball as my office chair...

Yeah, I get that a lot.

Interesting....did you have to buy the ball yourself or did you charge it to the company as a health/wellness benefit? I'm curious to see how that works out for you. My posture at work is not the best.

Oh, this was out of my pocket for my benefit. It was $18 off of Amazon.

So far it has really reminded me to keep my posture. Part of me keeps wanting to find a good resting position, but that's wrong. You do have to work at it.

There is a guy at my office who has been using one since late last year. He hasn't gone back to an office chair so I guess he is feeling some benefit from it.

I just finished day 2 with this, so we'll see how things feel by the end of the week.

There is a tendency for the body to find a resting point and that will get you into trouble. You do have to focus on tightening your abdominals all of the time.
