On a whim, and some reading I did online, I gave up my chair on Thursday last week. I have been sitting on this for over 12 hours a day Friday, some on the weekend, and 12 hours today. Up until Thursday last week, I have had some pretty bad back pain and terrible posture from sitting in a chair for that many hours. My chair was pretty decent, but not one of those Herman Miller or anything. My back pain was so bad it was affecting my digestion. My doctor suggested I try sitting on the pilates ball. My pain has subsided 100%. I know that going to the gym 4 times a week helps me, and my healthy diet, but this ball has been night and day for me. My regular chair just earned a free trip to the dumpster.
Get a ball! Save your back.
