This ergonomic office chair has an exercise ball built into it Science tells us that sitting is killing us slowly, and the only way we can really get around that is by exercising. chair on Kickstarter tells me anything, it's that some people want to beat being sedentary by sitting Bear witness to the Språng chair. It comes in these four colors. The Språng chair is a rolling chair that has a small exercise ball below a seat stabilized by bungee cords. This setup allows the sitter to move around — much like on an exercise ball — while simultaneously maintaining balance on anThe back of the chair reclines so you can work on your spreadsheets at extreme angles.

Lower back pain is associated with several conditions from acute conditions such as strains and sprains to chronic conditions such as intervertebral disc degeneration and sciatica.” Over the past 10 years in personal training, I have worked with many clients with undiagnosed low back pain resulting from a sedentary lifestyle. This is probably the most preventable cause of low back pain. Despite our efforts to stay active by exercising 3-5 times per week, normal everyday activities such as sitting in a vehicle during a commute, sitting at a computer station, sitting down to a meal (do you see where I’m going with this?) can cause muscular imbalances that can contribute to low back pain. When seated, the muscles that make up your hip flexors group (the muscles that allow you to bring your knees closer to your chest) and your hamstring group (the muscles that allow you to bring your heel closer to your rear) are both in a shortened position. Both of these muscle groups attach to your vertebrae in the lower lumbar region of your spine.
Over time, these muscles will become tight and short creating a tug-of-war type strain on the low back musculature. Flexibility and core training is typically the solution to preventing and treating low back pain from an undiagnosed prospective; however, you can start by simply just changing your seat for the 7-8 hours that you are at work each day. Here are some great reasons to swap out the rolling office chair for a stability ball: Sitting on a stability ball promotes “active sitting” as you are in a more unstable environment. Your deep core stabilizer muscles (the muscles around your spine that allow you to sit up straight) will be further activated on this spherical seat. No slouching or lounging allowed as the ‘no back’ feature of a stability ball requires you to sit up straight. This will allow you to multi-task at your workstation as you type and improve your posture at the same time. Having a stability ball around will likely encourage you to add old school recess back into your day.
Turn your coffee break into an exercise break by using the stability ball to perform exercises such as ball squats, crunches, lunges, etc. You will burn some extra calories and increase your oxygen exchange which will have you feeling accomplished and refreshed. Don’t feel like breaking a sweat; don’t worry because the stability ball also doubles as a stretching assistant. You can stretch your hamstrings, chest, shoulders, and lots of other muscle groups with the help of your new desk chair. Looking for more stability ball exercises?

It's constantly too high or too low. Really can't seem to find a happy medium....is always losing air...and I am not a heavy person. I only weigh about 142 lbs....I rather have a desk chair that also has arms...I would not recommend to someone that sits at a desk for 7 hours of their day....if you pump the ball up too much, it hurts your butt....mixed reviews on this...I sit at my desk for at least 7 hrs a day. Only one we found with a padded backrest. Takes a little bit to set the air pressure that you like but that's no problem. Seems well made and seems to work good. I bought this for a co-worker who was complaining about her back due to her poor posture when she was sitting at he desk. Since she has the new chair, she sits straighter and also says her abdominal muscles are getting worked out, too. I suffer with chronic back pain and have a desk job.

This is the second chair I bought like this.....different style. I fell off due to the fact that it does not offer lockable casters. You keep rolling until you're on the floor. Maybe you're not as clumsy as I am....good luck! I bought this for my daughter, she works for orthopedic surgeons, she and all the Dr's love this chair. Have always wanted an exercise ball.

I have tried your saddle shaped chairs and the Gaiam chair--the saddle shapes either did not adjust to a comfortable position or too wide at the gullet for a woman. The Gaiam chair did not allow one to actually lean on the back piece-it is only for balance during exercise not support. I need support and the comfort of the soft flexible ball.

So we are buying another so people can try it to see if they really like it before we commit to buying a bunch of them. Our family needs a better chair for our home office/desk.
