Well Community is doing a wellness challenge: Either sit on an exercise ball instead of a chair for one week, or reconfigure your desk to a "standing" position. Would you give it a try in your office? Let us know your thoughts!
And check out the Northside Reaction blog on Well Community throughout the week to see how our staff is doing on the challenge...

Over the weekend I happened to see a balance ball chair that was made by Gaiam. It basically was a base with wheels and a support for your back that the balance ball rested in. I used my balance ball for my chair for a few weeks but it was hard to move from area to area on it. I think this would be a much better set up. I think with the system I would be more faithful in using a balance ball chair regularly.

It's just the right amount of effort to keep me alert & using good posture ... without taking away from my overall comfort. While it does not necessarily feel like a "workout," I can tell that my core is more engaged now... and I definitely cannot slump backwards or forwards!!
