Core Muscle-Strenghtening Chairs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Chairs Offer a Workout While on the Job

— January 13, 2014 — Lifestyle
The fitness ball has been a progressive alternative to desk-space seating and these muscle-strengthening chairs are the latest example. The Fitness ball promotes flexibility, motor skill and balance. Your body needs to work to balance on top of an exercise ball, and by doing so, you’re strengthening your core as well as smaller surrounding muscles.

If you’ve ever tried one of these balls, then you know it takes a hard time to get used to and to feel more like a gimmick than an actual workout. The Fitness Ball Chair helps you to gradually work your way up to balancing yourself with or without the backrest. This chair is suitable for many people at the office or at home who want to develop strength in their muscles but haven’t got much time. The Fitness Ball Chair will also help to relieve some of your lower back pains while encouraging active sitting.
Trend Themes
1. Fitness Ball Chairs - Opportunity to disrupt the traditional office seating industry by offering a workout while seated.
2. Active Sitting - Potential to revolutionize the sedentary work culture by promoting muscle-strengthening and relieving lower back pain.
3. Gradual Balancing Tools - Innovation opportunity to improve the experience of using fitness balls by providing gradual support and comfort while developing core strength.
Industry Implications
1. Office Furniture - Disruptive potential to introduce fitness ball chairs as a new category of office seating.
2. Wellness and Fitness - Opportunity to integrate muscle-strengthening chairs into the fitness industry and promote active sitting as a health trend.
3. Physical Therapy - Innovation potential to utilize gradual balancing tools for rehabilitation and strengthening programs in the physical therapy industry.
