On a typical 9-5 office job, it's difficult for anyone to get any exercise, which is why Benjamin Cselley decided to create the Fit@Work.
Fit@Work is a workout chair that lets you crank those abs mid-day into the office when you're waiting on that conference calls. When I say exercise, I don't mean yoga or stretches; this actually has two handles on the back of the seat that you can pull just like you would with weights. The furniture piece can even be folded down like the ab-dominator. As for the design, this is probably the coolest chair aesthetically; it looks a lot like what Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, would build for himself if he needed a chair.
The Fit@Work is a concept piece so far, but hopefully it'll make its way to offices soon.
