Sports reviews of Gaiam Balance Ball Chair (Black)

Customer Review: Great for pregnancy!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

Like just about every other office worker, I have dealt with the weak muscles and fatigue that come from sitting at a desk typing away at a keyboard all day long. I began looking at other options pre-pregnancy, with the idea of using a large balance ball as way to support my back and strengthen my core muscles. During my search I found the BalanceBall Chair by Gaiam, and it is more than I could have hoped for.

The removable 52cm ball sits perfectly in a wheeled base, which includes a lumbar support bar and locking casters. Rather than having to worry about flipping over, I know that the support for the ball will keep it from sliding under me. In basic black, it blends with other office chairs in color, but not in looks. You will get more than a fair share of comments about your space-age chair. Be prepared to let everyone give it a whirl!

The ball occasionally needs to have a little extra inflation, and a hand pump is included. The chair can occasionally be fatiguing to sit in, especially if you are not used to supporting your core muscles for long stretches. This does, however, get easier over time. The one thing that I have appreciated more and more as I expand through my pregnancy is the little bit of extra give that the ball provides, allowing my hips to rest a little more comfortably. A co-worker borrowed the chair throughout her last trimester. The locking casters allowed her to put her feet up without worrying about sliding away from her keyboard. Also included is a 16-page booklet that guides you through some simple exercises that can be done on the ball at work or at home. Easy to follow and nice to have when you need to get yourself moving at the office.

I would highly recommend this item for anyone that is interested in using a balance ball for long-term sitting, and I would definitely recommend to any other pregnant moms that spend any amount of time sitting at a desk regularly.

Special Note:
For optimal performance, it may be necessary to re-inflate your new Balance Ball once or twice after the initial inflation. Once your chair is assembled and the Balance Ball is inflated, re-check the ball size the next day. If necessary, add additional air and check once more the following day. Your new Balance Ball may need a day or two to "stretch" to its final size (which should then fit perfectly in the base).
