Spri Ball

Post by dawman »

I recently realized my ass is starting to hurt becasue my chairs are so old and wooden.
Even the barstool I use to semi sit while I program my 6 foot DAW is as bad as concret. S0 I bought a 44" Spri Ball and I rill around on it becasue its fun, its good excercise IMHO and since I started taking Assafs Modular classes I find myself going back and forth from a stand up DAW to a sitting PC for the internet.
But I just saw a guy on TV promoting Spri Balls for excercise and realized just by sitting on this tall bastard I can roll between both computers while learning and practicing, and also this is considered a great core excercise......
They are so comfortable too.
Any other FAT BASTARDS out there should try this too...

Hate to say this, but way ahead of you on that one. I had my old back-ball leftover from my last accident (2002?) and find it to be good posture-relief to periodically swap it out for my studio chairs. I'm always worried about it springing a leak too but I think I go through a chair every 9-15 months while that thing has lasted 8 years and 2 sets of cat claws (both of which are still alive and share the room with the ball to this day.)

I'm sitting on a big yoga ball as I type this. I switch off with an ergonomic desk chair.

It's helped relieve my bad back over time, and forces me to move around. Also helps strengthen the core.
