It has legs. I guess you can take the exercise ball out of the chair, but you might as well buy an exercise ball. I use this chair all day while working. I sit on it up to eight hours a day and don't even think about it. I feel it helps my core.

I am not sure where the mix reviews are coming from. I weight about 200lbs and use this ball daily, several hours a day. I sit up hard, stretch, bounce, and have never felt that ball was not performing the way it should. As a matter of fact, I am surprised it has held air as long as it has with all the daily abuse. This has been an excellent product for me. Further more, when you buy this ball and use it for a couple of months, leave an honest comment and call the company and in return for your honest feedback they will mail you a resistance band of your choice for free.

yes---pretty good for that too. the back rest has 4 positions, and i put it all the way down to do inclined sit ups. i also do tummy crunches by placing my butt at the end of the back rest (when the bench is in a flat position), holding on to the top bars and raising my legs slowly and holding for 30 seconds. 20x and it's pain city...but i've got some abs now. not bad for a guy 65.

It's not self-propelled, so it can be a workout. You might want to look elsewhere.

Actually I'm not using the ball that came with my chair. I'm using an exercise ball I had at home. So...Yes - just go to Target or Wal-Mart!

Sorry. I do not know the answer to your question regarding the name of the polymer material. The Fitness ball works great for me as a desk chair. However the pump is ridiculous and not worth two scents. That's all I can really tell you regarding this product. You might google "exercise ball polymer materials" and see what you get. I google everything if I need an answer.

I would not recommend that but if you want to sit up high and do ab work get a inflatable ball.Works well and comes with a Video.

This is used in physical therapy. You can use either side. It is use to engage your core muscles which lightens the load on your back and also forces you to sit up straight. You can also put it behind the small of your back when that gets uncomfortable. Also if you sit on the flat side and move in small circles with your feet flat on the ground, it lightly stretches muscles around your spine and works your core. Think of it kind of like a mini exercise ball Mrs. Catherine latimore. I've had back surgery and there is no way I could sit for longer than twenty minutes or so without it

I don't know if they directly sell them, but you can even use a bicycle pump. I used to sit on exercise balls and they steadily deflated and required attention monthly. But I have yet to do anything for this setup. Might be thicker material than exercise ball. But also the way the ball is housed prevents it from deflating I think. Still very happy with it.

Yes it could! Comfy but tough enough to be an all around exercise mat. You may want to look into the extended size mat and you can use it for both activities without limiting yourself space wise.

Definitely. It's a potty available in a pinch. My boy sits on it and uses it for #1, #2, or a combo.

It is much smaller than the exercise ball I have, but I think it is very comfortable with the back. Some people think mine is too low to my desk, but it works for me.

That's a very good question which I don't have an answer to. However, I would certainly try it and if it worked, it would be amazing. I still can't believe how quick and easy it was/is to pump up exercise balls!

It can be used as both the regular exercise and yoga. Just be careful on what surfaces you put on. I had it for about a year or so and it is still in a great condition. In my personal opinion, if you take care of the mat and clean it after every use as the instructions asks the item will stay nice for a while. I hope this helps. :)

Yes it is good for any exercises. The mat is very thick . I am thin and bony and thinner mats were uncomfortable to use. It is also quite long to accommodate a tall person

No, it's meant for a small, inflatable ball (which they provide). We have also used one of those smaller balls that you use in a pool (they soak up water...about baseball sized) and it worked well. Great way for multiple players to have fun!
