Looking for feedback from the group about the benefits of using an exercise ball as a chair vs transitioning to a standing desk. Costs are an obvious factor in favor of an exercise ball but curious if anyone has seen any health benefits using either. Thanks

You can't slouch like a shrimp on an exercise ball.

Try the exercise ball first. Worst case you now have an exercise ball to add to the home gym

Thanks. Agree.

My wife got one of the ball chairs. She seems to like it. I have an adjustable desk but sitting, I see why the ball would be better than a chair

I held off forever on getting a standing desk but gave in 3 weeks ago. It totally eliminated my lower back pain. I knew it would help but I had no idea it would solve my achiness so entirely and so quickly. All that to say, sure try the ball but if you only notice minimal improvement, know the desk might be a better long term option by leaps and bounds.
