I agree with you. I'm too busy trying to multi task at work to do this. And can you imagine someone being on a conference and umm, possibly falling on their ass? LMAO
I see what they are trying to do, but it wouldn't work for me. I don't think I could concentrate on typing and talking while walking all at the same time!
I've thought about bringing my fitness ball to work and some 3 pound weights. So at least I'm doing something other that sitting on my ass as it expands from east to west.
My work outs are totally separate from my work life!! I could not see myself walking on the treadmill and typing, answering phones, etc. but it's an interesting idea.
The ball makes you actively engage your abs. You are forced to keep your posture as you press your abs inward to stay up on the ball. So in essence you are doing a passive workout. To address the height issue with typing I think you would need a keyboard platform that adjusts up/down to stay in proper typing alignment.
I use my fitness ball at home just chilling watching the tv. Or, sometimes I sit on the edge of the bed with the ball between my knees for an inner thigh workout. Think Suzanne Sommers thighmaster but with the ball...

ReplyDeleteLawd...LOL! It's bad enough I'm working, playing on Multiply and listening to my iPod all at once. All that PLUS a moving floor??? Nah, I think not...
ReplyDeleteWorkers Comp Claim in the making! LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL! That would be a good idea, but my big azz might really hurt something and have to spend the whole 45 days in traction. No thanks. LMAO!

ReplyDeleteOne of our paralegals swapped out her office chair for a fitness ball.

ReplyDeleteWow. I wouldn't think the ball would give the necessary height for desk work.
ReplyDeleteI could see myself falling and hitting my head on my file cabinet a lot if I used the fitness ball!!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteIs she actually exercising on it? Or just sitting? Trying to figure out the benefit...
ReplyDeleteAs my Vietnamese nail chick says...Zakk-lee!!!

I do that at the gym. Works really well.
ReplyDeleteI can see that at home as well- but then again I ALREADY have a treadmill at home that I don't use so maybe not. *smile*
ReplyDeleteJust think, if you could rig your laptop to it, you'd be inclined to use it. :)
ReplyDeleteYou use your treadmill as a clothes hanger, too? I mean, as a clothes hanger?
ReplyDelete*looking away innocently*
Who knew! Just "sitting"on it is a work-out! I have a ball at home that's just SITTING in the corner! I'm gonna pull it out! Thanks lady!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've always been afraid of the ball. I'm not a lightweight & possibility of that thing exploding under my ass gives me nightmares.
