would this in work in place of an exercise ball for rotating hips? It could stay put on small chair & not have big ball sitting around

The swivel seat is designed to help you get out of a car seat, especially if you have cloth seats. I suppose you could sit it on a chair and swivel back and forth. However, I think the gazelle is better for hips, knees, legs, arms, back and cardio. Check it out. I just bought one from Amazon and love it.

If this is regarding the swivel seat cushion, I would think not. An exercise ball uses lower back and leg muscles. This swiveling cushion is for ease of twisting to get out of car or chair. It is made to use less muscles.

Janet, I am not sure which purchase I made, so if you can give me the name, I will try to answer your question. Sharon

Will certainly not be the same. Guess you'll need to try and find out if it works for you.

It depends on what you will be using it for? I have a 65cm ball with this base and it is NOT a tight fit, although it does work for exercise and also helps to stabilize the ball for sitting on. I have two bases, one for the 65cm ball which I will be using at home for exercise and one for a larger size ball to sit on at work. I do think a 45cm ball is going to be ok but do not know for sure because that is not what I use? Either way I like the base, loose or not... :)

Yes it can. We use it for weighted balls, too, training to hit the ball harder.

Yes, I think it would be good for that. It might be a little big but it's not strong enough for a big room. I bought it to go in front of my exercise equipment and have to put it on a chair to reach my face and upper body.

I've never tried it on exercise balls, but I used it on an air mattress. It's good for pumping air faster than a bicycle pump, but if you need more pressure, you might need to use a bicycle pump instead. I'm not sure how much pressure this can handle, or how much pressure an exercise ball needs.

Probably depends what you are using it for. For a 5'2" person having it against a wall for balance exercises, the 45 cm ball is perfect. The physical therapist recommended a 45 cm ball, and it was difficult to find -- the large chain sports stores didn't have this small ball. And it's held up well after a year of use.

Yes, it definitely would. We actually purchased a core ball from REI, but returned it. The FitBall does the job!

For sure -- if you tighten the yellow ball on the top well enough. Maybe even use pliers to tighten it firmly. Then it will not move! I used one on a scooter and it worked very well and held a drink securely. I tried several others and this was the best.

Hi, Yes, the ball is a little small, exactly which chair do you have? I 've bough two and my husband's ball is much bigger than mine but the chairs we have are different. I thought mine was supposed to be as big as his, I think the description said they were the same size but mine is definitely smaller. It works out for me because I'm a girl and I am smaller than him so it was perfect for me. I hope this helps.

I actually use an exercise ball with a curved base. That works well for me. I am 5'3"

Not sure as I am not familiar with mini balls. If it has a bladder inside which requires a needle and pump, then this should work ok.

I think its mainly for resistance exercises. No bounce to it at all. Kinda like a big hackee-sack or beanbag.Hard throws or slams would most likely shorten the life span of the med ball.

I suppose it could be used for that purpose. You will need to review the width in relation to the width of your desk/chair requirements. Personally, i would think the width would be too small to accomodate the movement of a chair. It could accomodate a desk. I would also think the softness of the mat would hinder the easy movement of a desk chair, I prefer a hard surface to use as a desk/chair mat to enable free flow of the rollers on my desk chair. So in summary, it could be used in the manner desired but I would not recommend for that purpose, something more rigid would be preferable.

Actually yes it can, but for a different purpose. If you put it under your desk and press with your heels then it gives a pretty good glute-specific workout (similar to kick-backs), however it does not provide cardio exercise like it would if you were standing up. I alternate between using it sitting down and standing up at work.

I am 5'2 and have the smaller ball; I can tell you it sits pretty low to the ground. The larger one may work with a very short desk, but the problem, I think, would be balancing on it for long periods. Why don't you just take it to work and use it to stretch during breaks? Hope this helps somewhat.

It only comes with a tennis sized ball. I don't think it would function well attaching a larger ball. Hope that helps. It is fun to play as is.

Its not big enough, this is for a hamster. Even if it was big enough, guinea pigs should not use exercise balls, it is very bad for their sensitive spines. No joke, google it.
