Hello All, I want this ball to sit at my desk at work, I've heard mixed reviews - people who use this at their desk. Good or bad? Thanks!

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'm 5'4 and I think the 75" is the perfect height to sit me at the right level for my desk at work... also why I purchased this ball. Any smaller and I'd be sitting too low to reach everything appropriately.

I would not recommend using any indoor ball outdoors, especially this one. It'll tear up and won't be as nice using it indoors. If you need an outdoor ball, it's really better to go with a rubber ball.

Hi, all I can tell you is that the large is huge. Much larger than expected. About the size of a blimp! I would call isokenetics before purchasing. Btw, the quality of the ball is top notch. Good luck.

sorry for delay on your response. This ball is a strange toy the first one broke when it fell of my bed onto the hard wood floor and now the second one does work when my dog starts to chew on it or when you walk by it. You may have a dud return it and get a new one.

Sure, but I would not recommend it. The ball is meant for indoor environment. Outdoors it'll soon become slick from dirt, scuffing, etc.

I weigh 124 lbs and had the same problem. Ball does not hold air. Chair has been sitting in my office to the side since I bought it & I intend to return when I get the chance. It is DANGEROUS!! Have gone back to my "regular" chair of just a larger exercise ball -- no wheels, but much safer!

Since the question I have received sounds like the first part of the question is missing. I will respond this way. You will need to have a pump to inflate and maintain the inflation of your ball. The one you shared as being the one you used looks more than fine for the task.

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.

Divermartin, did you end up purchasing this for your standing desk? Did you find that you could use it with the desk or was it too intense a workout to use at a desk?

No not at all. That's not the purpose of this exercise ball. It is only filled with air. The idea behind it is that you balance yourself on it to find your perfect balancing point. This would be where your best posture and core development is. It is a great tool for toning your butt and core. I am 5'2 ½" and this ball is perfect height for me at a desk or table doing computer work. So the term "Stability Ball" generally means attaining your personal stability, excercise and development wise. Hope this helps. If any more questions, please ask!

Not really. I you're purpose is to use the ball at a desk, it will likely be too low and you will have to purchase a special structure that is specifically available for use with stability balls. Otherwise a 75cm is a big ball. How tall are you? Are you sure you've filled it completely?

Dear Amanda, the sand is totally fine, I like it with sand, because the ball doesn't shift on the floor and doesn't roll under my weight. I had no problem with sand at all. The ball is sturdy enough to use as a chair. It won't burst. I am recommending it. Just keep the spare closure pins found in the package.

I have not had any problems with this. The weight naturally shifts slightly when slammed, but I have not had problems maintaining an even shape. The ball bounces nicely off of the ground and against hard and soft surfaces.

The ball is designed for lower back stretches. Inside the packaging will be picture and written exercises that you can do. I have found the exercises very effective at easing lower back discomfort and pain. I saw this on Dr. Oz last year.

It will would be good for your office. Just don't put it on high and point it directly toward you paper work. It will do a fantastic job circulating the air your office. The make a desk fan that is a lot smaller but, it move way less air and you have to be directly in front of it to feel it.

Hi. i bought it last winter. The ball is authentic, totally original. But the ball surface wasn't soft as I expected it to be. It was hard to grab for my hands and it slips easily. Using it for a month or two I noticed that things are going better. It seems strange to me that this kind of ball went used for n b a games but otherwise the ball seems original. I hope to have helped u
