It won't give you a six-pack but it does give you a bit of exercise as you pilot your desk
If you have a sedentary job you may notice that your posture collapses around the computer. There is just something about sitting in front of a screen that makes me hunch over. The balance disc cushion is a great way to combat that tendency. Here are what I view as the main relevant points:
1) It makes you aware of you posture knowledge of which is often the main thing I need in order to correct it.
2) The unstable surface does require various trunk/core muscle to be used in order to stabilize you in your seat.
3) By the end of the day you can feel a difference although it is slight. I can best describe it as my body saying "do we have to sit on THAT thing again?" I interpret this mild fatigue as an indirect indication that I have done some work.
That's about it. Like I said it's not going to change your body. It does seem to turn counterproductive desk time into if not active exercise at least a vigorous enough activity that fitness is maintained.
Oh and it does look a bit silly sitting on your chair - kind of like a whoopee cushion. You were warned.
