Everyone at work thinks I am crazy, let's see what you guys think. I read an article or something about a teacher who got rid of her desk chair and sat on a big balance ball instead. I have one that I used to alleviate my sciatica during pregnancy so I thought I would give it a try.
So, here I sit on this huge purple plastic ball. It is SOOOO comfortable. I can't believe how much better my legs, back and hips feel.
Instead of just sitting, I am now "actively sitting". There is a constant subtle shifting and tightening of the abs to keep balance sitting on this thing so I don't feel like I am giving in to "secretary spread". I am getting a little mini workout all day long.
Yes, my coworkers think I am insane. But this is really cool!! Try it out if you have one.
