Fitter1 ProActive Disc : Get Fit While You Sit

The new fitness thing--"active sitting" ... that is, sitting on an exercise ball while you work. It's supposed to help keep your core muscles active and improve your posture. A great idea, but I don't have the room in my tiny office.

Instead, I've been using Fitter1's ProActive Disc, a self-inflatable domed cushion that offers many of the same benefits of using an exercise ball. I can adjust how much to inflate the disc, and it's simple to make gentle, subtle movements on the disc without becoming distracted (or falling off of my chair.) I've been using it for a few months, and I can notice the difference in my lower back and hips.

Bottom Line: The ProActive Disc is an excellent way to counteract the static positions your back can get locked into when sitting at a desk all day. Simple to use, and cheaper than a visit to a physical therapist.--E .D. (Aug 06)

When lifting weights, always remember to protect your back by activating your abdominal muscles before performing each exercise.
