Excercise ball for sitting on while working

    So, when im in work, im sitting at a desk most of the day, and when I come home, I spend a couple of hours sitting at a desk also working/playing xbox or whatever, so thought id invest in an exercise ball, as ive heard that using them to replace a regular chair, has benefits for posture, core etc.

    I weigh about 15stone, but am just under 6ft 2, so dont have a big beer belly :p, so im wondering, where would I get a decent ball that would support me while sitting on it, and not burst after a few days. Preferably something that would last a few years also.

    Any here that you guys could recommend? Cheers

    You can still slouch on a ball once you get used to it!!

    It could be worth a go as they're relatively inexpensive. Also just trying to be more aware of how you're sitting. Set a timer that reminds you to adjust your posture, and every time you walk thru a door, use it as a chance to ensure correct posture.

    Also look into standing desks!
