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

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.

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.

My answer would be to get one of the balls that is specifically designed to be a desk chair. I think that if I had to work on the desk sitting on the ball could be very distracting. This is just my point of view.. I am not young and athletic.

I suppose you could roll your feet on it but I don't think that it would be the best option. They make some different products for that. Have you tried a tennis ball or Lacross ball?? Those are good inexpensive options. Hope that helps..

It's a pretty big ball. I suppose it would fit in a chair, but you wouldn't be able to then sit on it.

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.

At 5'1" I would recommend the next size smaller ball (but you should really confirm that with your physical therapist). The best thing about this "Stability" Ball is that it is weighted with sand in the bottom so you will have less chance of losing your balance. I recommend this exercise ball.

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.

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.

While I understand that some of the big exercise balls are "sticky", the BMI ball is not. However I suspect all these kinds of balls will pick up a certain amount of static electricity that makes them attract and collect hair.

It should. The frame keeps it very stable so that you are not rolling on it. I go to a chiroprator and she was glad that I bought one with the frame for stability. My office has carpet, so that probably helps. As for the height, I had to fully inflate the ball and then, let air out until it got to the height that was best for me. I am 5'3". I hope this helps.

I'm not sure but I would say yes. The benefit of using the ball as a chair is that your are using your abs to stabilize you. If you use the base you loose that benefit. I'm also not sure if it would damage your ball sitting on it while on the base.

Yes- It functions just like the Bumbo Chair (many suggest that this is better for their hips than the bumbo). It is supposed to work their core muscles. My little one loves it

I do not believe the size is on the ball but I would say it's a small ball. The smallest of the three choices when buying an exercise ball.

Yes, we tried it, but it would rock back and forth as you move unless you pinned it down somehow. It would give back support, the back rest is only 12" high so would not be like a chair back, but would help you stay upright. Funny that the answer before said it wouldn't be comfortable because I was going to say it would be comfortable.

Definitely not, unless you have a very wide chair! It's almost 22 inches in diameter. However, check out the j-fit balance DISK, which is 12 inches in diameter. I use it in my chair.

Yes, it would work for that. Just be sure the massage "balls" are on either side of spinal column - not directly pressing on vertebrae - might cause a problem. I've used it on shoulders, too.
