Humanscale Ballo Active Stool/Exercise ball

Train your back with Ballo For active sitting - recommended by Physiotherapists

If you want to strengthen your back, Yoga or Pilates are great, but even while you're at work, you can insert a little training session, switching your task chair for a Ballo for up to one hour at a time. Like a training ball you use at a physio session, it requires all of your back muscles to be active, rather than slumping in your chair. It is stimulating and fun, helps to avoid prolonged sitting in the same posture, and can easily be grabbed and put anywhere you need an extra chair. Also, contrary to the physioball it does not roll away.

We recommend you get an ergonomic chair first, but as a complement and possibility for change, the Ballo is unique and great for sneaking a little workout into your working routine. Your back will thank you!

“Ballo was inspired by the exercise ball, but it’s more fun. I wanted to create a stool that would bring a playful aesthetic to any environment while encouraging healthy movement.”- Don Chadwick
