Exercise Balls

The Exercise Ball was originally developed by a chiropractor named Dr. Randy Weinzoff based on his philosophy of 'vitality through total alignment of the whole being'.

Known also as a Swiss ball or Pilates ball or Stability ball, exercise balls greatly alleviate the aching back, legs and arms syndrome that comes from your working at a desk for hours. The Exercise Ball Chair is designed for people between 5-feet and 5-feet 11-inches tall. This unique 'chair' employs the same balance fitness ball used in your workout routine, but with it you also get an adjustable support bar, easy-glide casters, an air pump, and a desktop guide to get you started on your workout. It goes a long way to give you a solution to build a healthier back, relieve the pain, and improve your overall well being.

The Exercise Ball Chair can be an effective tool for strengthening your core muscles and improving your spinal alignment. The height of the back of the exercise ball chair is 2.5 feet tall, and the base measures 20 inches wide from one side of the wheels to the other. The exercise ball chair comes with 2 locking casters and 2 regular ones. The locking casters go on the back of the balance ball chair. Some assembly is required and once assembled, has a 300-pound weight capacity. 

It also illustrates how non-impact strengthening exercises and stretching can keep you active, even on busy work days. When you sit on the Exercise Ball Chair, the fitness ball acts as a shock absorber and eases your body into an ergonomic position. When your muscles become stiff or whenever you want a break, simple exercises will help you relax, build strength and foster a wide range of health benefits. Exercises performed with a Stability Ball in the chair, offer maximum support, stability and convenience. Exercises performed with a Stability Ball out of the chair, allows a greater range of movement.

Sample Reviews Of the Exercise Ball Chair
Core Strength Posture  Date: July 23, 2010
'My interest in the exercise balance ball chair began with the knowledge that core strength is all about posture. So, I purchased my exercise ball chair for my home office. Sitting on the ball chair encourages me to sit up and take notice of my posture at all times. Whenever I tire of sitting up straight in my ball chair, I do small bounces up and down to stimulate the immune system. The Desktop Guide book that comes with the ball chair has some very beneficial stretches and movements. I like that the chair is lightweight, and that the ball can be removed to do a workout and then be replaced back in the chair out of the way.' 

Good Purchase!  Date: December 27, 2009
'Some of the other reviews left me skeptical, but I'm very glad I went ahead and purchased this pilates ball chair. There are complaints about height; I am 5'7 and it's not a problem. I am 7 months pregnant and use this pilates ball chair at work. It helps me keep good posture, which in turn helps backaches after work. I teach, so i don't just sit all day, but it definitely does its job. Plus it was extremely easy to assemble and all my students (teenagers) think it's awesome.'

Very comfy!  Date: June 24, 2009
'Got this swiss ball to help with my posture while sitting at the computer all day--love it!! Helps tilt your pelvis so your spine stacks over the pelvis instead of all slumpy. I feel more alert when sitting up straight, and can lift my collarbones and move shoulders back and feel even better! I too had the wheel lock issue and we just put the locking wheels on the rear instead of right by where you tend to kick the front ones--try it!'

When you are stuck sitting - this is the chair!  Date: March 30, 2009
'I have had a pilates ball chair for the last 3 years at work and it is great! I am am outdoorsy person and hate to sit for hours on end but when I have to I will only use this ball chair. It forces you to sit up straight and really improves your balance.'

Love this chair!  Date: January 29, 2009
'I bought the exercise ball chair to use at work to help with balance. WOW! I love it!! Helps not only my balance but my posture by forcing me to sit up straight. Both my job-share co-worker and I think it is the best chair ever! Only problem was getting my husband to give it back so I could actually bring it into the office. He borrowed it to "try" in his home office and had a hard time giving it up. I told him to order his own!'
