Easy to put together. Back feels stronger after weeks use. I use it as my office chair at my clients. It's ok, but I have to keep unlocking the feet and pump it once a week to top up the air. The Gaiam ball exploded just only less than 2 months whilst sitting on it. Very frustrating that am not able to purchase a replacement part. Chair arrived with a ball that was <40cm diameter. The instructions refer to a 55 cm /22 inch ball, which would correspond to the photos in the product description and product... Easy to assemble and comfortable to sit on. Noticed less muscle tension after 2-3 days. Not tried the exercises yet It is a comfortable chair, but it is extremely low. There should be a way to elevate or adjust the chair's height Not really sure if this is right for me - currently reverted to ordinary office chair but it will give it another goReally comfy and loved by my daughter who does her homework at her desk on it. Easy to assemble and stops me from slouching (well, makes me slouch less!) - also love bouncing around while on a call!

And frankly, I don't blame them. Twelve months ago if you'd told me I'd be spending eight hours a day sat atop an inflatable ball, I'd have spat my Americano over all over the keyboard and told you to get lost. But now, I'm hooked. I feel the same kind of happiness sitting on my new-age chair as others do climbing into a bed of freshly-washed sheets or getting a hug from their child. It might seem weird that I am so enamoured by a piece of plastic. But the reason for my admiration is simple: it saved me.
After just a few weeks of sitting on my magic ball something miraculous happened, my back pain - once the bane of my existence - had vanished completely. Let's rewind two years. Like the many British workers, I have severe back pain. My sedentary lifestyle, which is so typical nowadays - I sit at my desk for eight hours a day, fight for a seat on public transport and spend evenings sat in the pub or flopped on the sofa, even when I cycle to work (which is admittedly rare) I'm in a seated position. Before long my lower back pain begins to rise up between my shoulder blades and before long is causing fitful sleep and painful headaches. Fuck this, I think, I'm only 25 - I shouldn't be having back problems at my age. And so I embark on a quest - a combination of massages, hot yoga classes and postural self-regulating (translation: forcing myself to sit up straight) - in a bid to ease my aches and pains. But these activities can only provide temporary release. And I soon realise I'm fighting a losing battle.
Three or four hours of TLC per week can't possibly undo 40 hours of wrongdoing, I have to change the way I sit. So I tried sitting on an exercise ball, Technogym's Wellness Ball to be exact, and the rest is history. My colleague Daisy (L) on her beloved blue ball and my silver spherical life saver The ball encourages active sitting - the very opposite of passive sitting, which involves sitting in a fixed position on a chair. By sitting in this way your back and hips are forced to perform a series of micro-movements that will help you maintain the correct posture and prevent back pains. It's also great for your core. You have to engage your abdominal and lumbar muscles to keep the ball stabilised, otherwise you'd roll off. And that could be embarrassing. The ball also allows you to effortlessly perform stretching, muscle strengthening, toning and elongation exercises in a small space. In short, regularly practising yoga has taught me to think more about my body.
Stretching out my hip flexes in crescent lunge posture or deep hip-opening postures such half pigeon, has made me increasingly aware of how little we move our hips on a day-to-day basis. Our hips are ball and socket joints, not a hinge joints - yet most of us use them as if they were the latter. We walk, sit, walk, sit, walk, sit, lay down to sleep (and repeat). Our lack of movement is doing serious damage to our bodies. Humans weren't designed to be so immobile. It's time we did something about it. Active sitting may be a small step, but it's a step in the right direction. In addition to wiggling around on the ball throughout the day, Technogym prescribe regular exercise to aid core structural development - a must for the desk bound. These exercises with help postural and structural strength, in turn supporting a better posture and reducing the risk of lower back pain usually associated to slouching in a chair over time.
