The Stability Ball Office Chair Works Out Your Muscles As You Work

Some people have started incorporating stability ball office chairs into their work spaces, but exercise equipment isn't really made for this sort of function or environment. With the goal of developing an ergonomic and purpose-made balancing perch for a desk, designer Don Chadwick created Ballo.

Made for Humanscale, this piece of furniture eliminates some of the unnecessary material around the middle of your typical spherical fitness ball. Reduced to a sturdy core, this muscular rocking chair offers better comfort to the sitter's extended legs, enabling him to place them where he feels they'll give him the best steadiness.

People are constantly looking for alternatives to visiting the gym regularly, and this adaptation of a stability ball office chair is a comfortable solution, working your abdominals, your legs and your lower back as you focus on your day job.
