Chair balls

Working and exercising with a chair ball

Chair balls, also balance balls, sitting balls, seating balls and office balls, are real all-rounders. Gyms use them for workouts, pregnant women like to relieve their backs with them and they are used at home, at school or at the office. Editors even type entire articles while hopping to some nice music. Have you ever sat on an ergonomic sitting ball? Then you probably understand why the balls are so popular. Because you automatically sit straight on it and you keep in motion, you'll stay fit and energetic. View our range of sitting balls from VLUV and ball cushions from Togu and bounce through the working day with us.

4 reasons for a sitting ball

1. You're postures moves around all the time on a sitting ball, so that your body and mind keep on being active. That's why you can do your tasks faster and with more fun.
2. Have you ever tried to hang forward or backward on a sitting ball? Hopefully not, because then you probably fell off. And that's exactly the point: On a sitting ball you are forced to sit 'consciously', straight and ergonomic, which is of course good for your muscles and your posture.
3. Plank, squat or crunch: You can do all kinds of exercises on a sitting ball and therefore strengthen your muscles and boost your energy level. Good for a workout after the working day.
4. Seat balls are easy to place and store. Plus, they cost less than many other active furniture.

Beloved balance balls at Worktrainer

The Netherlands rolls through the working day on these models:

• The Office Ball is available in all kinds of beautiful, trendy colors and in two different sizes. Because the ball is weighted with 1 kilo of sand, it does not roll away when you stand up.
• The VLUV STOV sitting ball is available in three different sizes. The sturdy mixed cover can be ordered in a variety of colors and ensures that the ball retains its shape when you sit on it.
• The sitting ball from Togu is a suitable basic model. The ball has no cover, so it dents a little more when you sit on it. A loose ring: ‘ball bowl’ on the ground prevents the ball from rolling away.

Tip: Don't have much space or already have an active office chair that you like to work on? Then a ball cushion (such as the Togu ball cushion) might suit you better. By placing it on a chair, you sit straighter and build in some exercise on a day.

Keep this in mind when purchasing a sitting ball

• Buy the right size. You can read how to find it in the product description of your favorite ball.
• You sit a bit higher on a sitting ball than on an office chair, which means that you also have to raise your desk a bit. This is of course very easy with a sit-stand desk.
• The movements of a sitting ball are intensive for your body. It is therefore better not to work on it for more than two hours a day.
