My Chair - An Exercise Ball

My desk chair is an exercise ball. I made this conversion a few months ago when I realized I was not getting enough crosstraining other than my walking.

Benefits Of Sitting On The Ball

Improved vitality and range of motion

Increased muscle strength

Inhale to return to the starting position and exhale to look over your right shoulder, this time twisting your spine in a clockwise direction.

Sitting on an exercise ball, your body is constantly making small adjustments with the postural muscles, abdominals, gluteals and leg muscles. It is “active sitting” rather than the slumping and poor posture we develop even in ergonomic desk chairs.

Reasons To Use An Exercise Ball

Fitness is at your fingertips. Another great thing about using this alternative to a chair, is that you can do stretches or mini-workouts whenever you want, without getting up.

Improves your circulation. Using an exercise ball will keep the blood flowing to all parts of your body, throughout the day. A desk chair on the other hand.

What Aerobic Equipment Is Involved?

Rowers, treadmills, bikes, and cross-country skiers are all effective if you use them! There is some suggestion that some individuals are more inclined to exercise at home with equipment than at the gym or a class. This is a personal choice and it varies for everyone, and so you need to experiment until you find what works best for you.

Sit tall in your chair with your feet placed firmly on the floor and your legs a little more than hip-width apart. Raise and bend your arms so your elbows are as high as your shoulders and your arms resemble 90-degree angles.
