Owner doesn’t need it anymore. He’s quite happy sitting on his shiny new ball, giggling like a school girl (that’s for you Pam) and getting a good core and back workout each and every day. Very expensive office chair. Government paid $600 even though a private company would have paid $100. All offers (serious and otherwise) considered. Thank you.

Hey Jon,
Yeah, I slouch too. There are 3 gals sitting near my cubicle who sit on balls. I tried one of them for a day and was sold – especially after our ergonomics guy (a medical doctor) said it was a great idea for people with back problems.
It makes sense to me just like barefoot running makes sense: Sit in a cushy, supportive chair and you take away the bodies natural response to support itself.
I notice my core and back getting worked and I can do stuff while I sit to enhance the workout.

how big does ones ball need to be for giggling. See I’m thinking of picking one up and I don’t want to miss out on any giggling.
WAIT..2 yr old plus huge ball equals anarchy.
Nevermind.

Pam: You need pretty big balls to handle this gig (sorry could not resist).
Jon: Mine is the biggest one. 65 centimeters I think.

I totally picture a new Far Side cartoon:
Imagine, fat guy in underwear at his computer, and the caption reads:
By a sudden twist of internet fate, the results of Bob’s search entitled “School Girls and Big Balls” have inspired him to run his first marathon. Barefoot, no less.

Wait. You sit on the ball at work? See, I would be ridiculed for that, no matter how good an idea it is. Hold it…OK, I have my wife’s red Theraband ball instead of my desk chair. I like it, but I think I need the bigger one. This is 55cm. Not big enough for giggling. You know, this might be a good thing for me. I slouch when I sit at the desk. Maybe it hurts my back. The ball seems to keep me more balanced. I think I’ll try it for a while.
