Sitting on a gym ball chair will help you sit in a proper manner, making your core muscles engage in a very active manner, and the result would be a better posture. Sitting more time on these ball chairs will create slouching as in a traditional office chair.

2. Makes you to move and change positions frequently

The exercise ball has a bouncy nature, and this helps our body to move more frequently. As the ball is a bit unstable, the user feels like standing up more often and adjusting the sitting position now and then. This will help our body from stiffening and also helps to give a proper posture. Another interesting factor that you will enjoy is that it will help in promoting activity while sitting on the ball chair.

While sitting in a proper posture, with a change of position and regular movement involved, the user will be experiencing reduced lower back pain as time passes. If you are finding it very painful sitting on the ball chair, and if you are experiencing back pain, then it could be due to the increased stress that focuses on the lumbar spine. At this point of time, you need to shift back to your old chair. You also need to adjust the chair so that the elbows are in exact line with the keyboard that you are using. A rest for your arms also help in giving proper support for it.

4. Strengthening of the core
