A chair that will not let you slump for long.
The problem it solves
Passive sitting switches off the core and the mind follows. Hours pass in the same collapsed shape.
What it is
An exercise ball seated in a frame with wheels and a low back support, used in place of a chair for part of the day.
Who it is for
People who fidget, want light core engagement during desk work, and have space for a second seat.
How to use it so it sticks
Use it for 30 to 60 minutes at a time, alternating with your normal chair. Keep feet flat and bounce gently when you feel energy dip.
Who should skip it
If you have back problems, ask a professional before using one; it is not for everyone and this is not medical advice.
Verdict
Not a full-time chair, but a very good second one for the afternoon slump.
