A whole day on such a sitting ball is too tiring and gives less comfort. Use the sitting ball for two hours a day and alternate with a normal office chair. You sit higher on a ball, which means that your desk or computer table must also be higher. This way you avoid bending your back and neck forward. A good ergonomic sitting posture at your company makes your work easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The big advantage of a sitting ball is that your body has to constantly correct itself, so that you activate the abdominal and back muscles more to maintain the correct posture with a straight back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, you become more aware of your posture during the rest of the day.<br\/>An additional advantage is that you can use the sitting ball as a fitness ball. The ball demands a lot from your balance, which puts extra tension on the muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some tips when purchasing and using a sitting ball:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose the sitting ball according to your height to avoid incorrect posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>smaller than 160 cm: a ball with a diameter of 55 cm<br\/>between 160 and 180 cm: a ball with a diameter of 65 cm<br\/>larger than 180 cm: a ball with a diameter of 75 cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t buy a sitting ball with support tops or a seat ring to keep it in place, because then you won&#8217;t move and the effect will be lost. Also avoid a backrest for the same reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pump up the ball every now and then so that the tension remains good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you like to learn more about ergonomics?
