Gaiam Balance Ball Chair (Black)
The Gaiam Balance Ball Chair, developed under the consultation of a chiropractic pioneer Dr. Randy Weinzoff, greatly alleviates the aching back/legs/arms syndrome that comes from working at a desk for hours. Designed for people between 5-feet and 5-feet 11-inches tall, this unique “chair” employs the same balance ball used in your workout routine, but with it you also get an adjustable support bar, easy-glide casters, an air pump, and a desktop guide to help keep you moving. Designed by leading health and fitness experts, Gaiam back-care solutions build a healthier back, relieve pain, and improve your overall well being.
The height of the back of the chair is 2.5 feet tall, and the base measures 20 inches wide from one side of the wheels to the other. The chair comes with 2 locking casters and 2 regular ones. The locking casters go on the back of the chair. Some assembly is required. The chair measures 21 x 31 x 22 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 13 pounds. It has a 300-pound weight capacity.

Isokinetics Balance Ball Chair – with Choice of 52cm Ball and a Pump
Sitting on an exercise ball while at home or work promotes flexibility, coordination, motor skills, core strengthening, and balance.
Your body, when positioned on top of an exercise ball, is constantly making small adjustments, often imperceptible, to remain balanced and thus is constantly exercising a large group of muscles in doing so.
By strengthening your body’s core muscle group you help improve your posture, have better balance and guard against back injuries.
It may take time before your body becomes accustom to sitting on an exercise ball, since your core muscles may not have gotten much exercise previously.
Start by using it 10 to 15 minutes a day and gradually work your way up.
Rolling base with 4 wheels, 2 of which are lockable
21″W x 31″H x 22″D, 300 lb limit, best for people 5′ to 5′11″ (search “height adapters” to add 2″)
