Who Knew?

I'm sitting here blogging, perched oh-so-carefully atop my exercise ball.  I learned that if you trade your chair for an exercise ball, you can burn up to 350 calories per day (if you work an 8 hour day) with the added benefit of strengthening your core, achieving balance, improving posture and circulation, and just generally getting fitter.*

Know what?  I feel a little silly but once you get used to it, it's very comfortable.  I don't think I'll be sitting on the ball at the drawing board or anything, but I do think I'll keep using it at the computer for awhile. 

If you have an exercise ball, give it a go and let me know what you think. 

*If you have or develop back pain, give up the exercise ball chair.  It can exacerbate some skeletal problems.
