From the fertile minds at Yanko Designs comes another genius idea: the Butt Balance Chair. The seat is on a pivot so you have to clench your cheeks in order to maintain your position.
As we all know, clenched cheeks lead to fun and games that may take you away from your computer - and that, my not-so-toned friends, is a great thing. Designer Yoon-Hee Kim, my hat is off to you.
Implications - It's only a matter of time before more companies develop wacky fitness products like this. I don't know about you, but I'm more than ready to participate in an activity so simple and blessed with the potential to create a lasting physical change on my body.
