When you are at work all day, what are you doing?  A lot of people are sitting down at their desk for long hours of the day, getting almost no exercise.  Getting up to get coffee is about the extent of most people’s exercise during the day at work.  This is part of the reason why people in America are gaining more and more weight.  This lack of exercise for a large portion of your day, is leading to higher and higher obesity rates.  Luckily, there is something you can do to help you to burn some calories throughout the day without having to get a new job.  You can buy a yoga ball chair to replace your current desk chair, and you’ll be able to see many different health benefits.

So, what is a yoga ball chair?  There are two ways of going about it.  Either you can use a yoga ball (otherwise known as a balance ball) as your actual chair, or you can get a special chair that has a yoga ball for the seat area and standard desk chair wheels on the bottom for ultimate mobility.  If you have to move around in your cubicle area, then I would recommend getting the latter because it offers the most mobility.

There are a lot of benefits of such a chair.  The first is that it helps you to burn calories.  Even though you may not notice it, you’ll need to make constant little movements throughout the day in order to keep your balance.  This will get your body working and burning calories.  It can also help to improve your balance in your body as a whole over time.  Lastly, it will really work out your core abdominal muscles, helping you to have a stronger core area.

All of these benefits can be had by swapping out your desk chair that you use every day to a new yoga ball chair.
