Product Description

This model comes with a 55cm ball. The benefits of sitting on an exercise ball while working are the same incorporating it in exercise routines; it promotes flexibility, coordination, motor skills, core strengthening, and balance. "Active sitting" means that your body, when positioned on top of an exercise ball, is constantly making small adjustments, often imperceptible, to remain balanced and thus is constantly exercising a large group of muscles in doing so. By strengthening your body's core muscle group you help improve your posture, have better balance and guard against back injuries. It takes some time before your body becomes accustom to sitting on an exercise ball, since your core muscles may not have gotten much exercise previously. Start by using it 10 to 15 minutes a day and gradually work your way up. If you have had back problems or injuries, make sure to consult your physician or therapist first. Pump sold separately

Customer Reviews

Still satisified after 4 years!
After reading the first review, I couldn't believe he had the same chair that I have. My office purchased this chair for me 4 years ago, I use it M-F 8-5, and I am still happy. I had to add air 1 time in 4 years. My only complaint is that the back of the chair loosens occasionally, but otherwise it is a great chair. My back has strengthened and has never felt better. I think he just didn't put enough air in the ball. This chair is worth the money.

FitBall Exercise Ball Chair
This is a really comfortable, fun chair! It works perfectly, and I really appreciate the adjustable height legs and back, especially as compaired to my other style ball chairs from a different company. The 5 casters also make it roll very easily and it's quite stable. I have sat in it for up to 3 hours and still find it comfortable. I read that the ball did not fit on someone else's review, and that's bogus--you just have to blow it up on day one, lett the vinyl expand, and adjust the air pressure again the next day until you get it full enough to be comfortable for youself. Easy. I have used it with the ball that came with it as well as a larger one with less air in it, and both work well. If you are in need of a casual chair, and are of "average" height (5 to 6 foot), this is a good choice for up to 2 or 3 hours sitting. Great for computer use, especially a laptop.

Great product!!
The fit ball chair is wonderful - burn calories without feeling the pain. If you are short - you may want to opt for the small ball - I had to buy a foot rest to use with mine. Also, vary your seating positions to get optimal results.

The chair is sturdy and easy to assemble. However, you may want to get a pump - I used one I had from a fitness ball and it still took some time.
