Reddit's best place for all things yoga. If a gym ball is supplied for the user, there must be a sound reason for this (such as a recommendation from a health professional) - and a risk assessment must be carried out by the employer to make sure they can work in a suitable position and without creating other risks in the area. Most offices have fixed-height desks so there is little chance that the ball will be the correct height for the person to achieve a good arm position whilst working at their desk. These call for a stable, adjustable chair with back support. In addition to these problems, gym balls don’t actually meet DSE regulations. Research into this area has shown that prolonged use of gym balls does not significantly affect the magnitudes of muscle activation, spine posture, spine loads, or overall spine stability and actually increases discomfort - probably due to decreased support for the buttocks and thighs. Commonly people who use gym balls as chairs compensate for muscle fatigue by tucking their feet under the ball to keep it stable, which defeats the point of having the ball in the first place. This is great for short periods of time but most people don’t have the core strength to keep this up for a full working day. Muscle fatigueĪ gym ball is an effective piece of exercise equipment because it provides an unstable surface that constantly requires your muscles to work to keep you upright. But there’s a big step between a dedicated core work-out, and all-day use of these balls. Granted, these balls are excellent fitness tools for working the core. That’s the use of fitness balls (also known as Swiss, yoga, or Pilates balls) as regular-use office chairs. While we’re huge advocates of bringing healthy living regimes into the workplace, there is one particular trend we’re reluctant to support. So why wouldn't you want to swap your office chair for a fitness ball? They're cheap, they're colourful, they look kind of fun to use - and they claim to tone up your core just by sitting on them.
