Introducing The Gaiam Balance Ball Chair To Your Work Routine
You have probably come across a balance ball in the gym, or perhaps you have seen them advertised on TV. The
balance ball has gained huge popularity in recent times as a result of its improved ergonomic seating and the
numerous exercises that can be done with the use of this chair. Gaiam is the manufacturer of the largest
quantity of balance balls on the market, they are also the original. They have now introduced the benefits of
the balance ball chair in the Gaiam balance ball chair.
The Gaiam balance ball chair is designed to provide the benefits of the balance ball in an ergonomically
friendly office chair. Gaiam designed this product after considering how much damage the typically office chair
can do to your back. They realized that the standard office chair causes you to sit improperly and results in
poor posture.
The standard office chair causes bad posture due to the way it has you sit closely to the ground, which causes
you to bend your knees at uncomfortable angles. In many cases if you sit on a standard office chair you are
inclined to cross your legs at the ankles and tuck your legs under the chair. This puts unnecessary pressure on
your knees, ankles and lower back. This can also cause tightening of the shoulders and can result in serious
back conditions over an extended period of time.
The Gaiam Balance ball chair requires you to center yourself on the chair and place your feet flat on the
ground. This chair is also designed to force you to sit up straight, since leaning back on the Gaiam balance
ball chair can throw you off balance.
With your feet flat, your knees bent at a 90 degree angle, and your elbow slightly bent in front of you, you
will find that you have less stress against your back and shoulders. This will mean that you can work for hours
infront of your computer without having back and shoulder discomfort that is associated with other office
chairs.
The Gaiam balance ball chair is also designed for the balance ball to be removed from the chair frame. This
means that your office chair doubles as your exercise ball. Gaiam hopes that by providing you with an exercise
device in your office chair, you will be inclined to remember to exercise while you are working.
There are many different exercises that can be conducted from the balance ball. There are some exercises that
can be conducted while the ball is in the chair frame. These exercises are simple and can be conducted from
right in front of your desk. Doing these exercises every couple of hours, keeps you from becoming rigid by
sitting for hours in front t of your computer without moving.
The Gaiam balance ball chair has analyzed what complaints most office workers have and have created a device
that addresses these issues. This chair makes it possible to work from your balance ball and provides you with
a more ergonomic and posture friendly work chair. Once you use the Galam balance ball chair you will probably
never desire to use your standard office chair again.
