I own and have sat on a Fitball (large exercise ball) at home for many years now as I surf the 'net at my desk and have fun on Amazon. At work we just went paperless and ...it hurts from the hours of sitting since we no longer have a reason to jump up and sprint to the fax or print things. I hear everyone complaining, but no one has yet done anything but try to remember to get up when the pain is too much.
I bought this disc for comfort to sit on. The disc gives your chair the feel of an exercise ball. It makes me move to keep balance instead of sitting rigidly, and that movement takes the pressure off back muscles and keeps circulation going and abdominal muscles working happily. This disc has downloadable exercises that I have not tried, and pictures on the box of exercise poses you might try (no exercise instruction on the box). It also is fun to try to balance on. I played a game where one person tries to balance and when they are, I then pretended to be swaying on a ship in front of the balancer which makes it much harder for the balancer to keep up their balance. Its fun to balance on all by yourself too and works your muscles. The spikey side faces up and is what you stand on and its comfortable without shoes. The smooth side is placed down onto the floor.
The box says Made in China. It comes with a pump but its already inflated, and I liked the way it was inflated so did not have to use the pump at all.
update: I have been using this at work for about 2 weeks now and it helps. The best way to use it for my liking is to sit so that my tail bone hangs off the edge. The inflated disc though feels like a harder surface than a cushioned chair. It keeps me shifting around so now hopefully I won't develop a bed sore from all this sitting...
