HOW TO TONE UP WHILE YOU'RE SITTING DOWN!

So, how does it feel to be sitting down right now? Do you feel like you're losing muscle tone with every passing moment? Is your back starting to clench with that familiar dull ache?

If you sit in front of a computer all day, you know what it's like. No matter how ergonomic and comfortable your chair is, you're still sitting. And if you slump while you sit (you know who you are,) your back and shoulders turn into a huge, knotted mess.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to actually strengthen and tone your muscles while you're working in front of the computer? At least that way, you could benefit from all that "sit time" and not feel like a muscle-sore slug at the end of the day.

Now, there's a way that you can tighten your tummy, reduce your lower back pain and improve your posture. And you can even do it while you sit!

The Fitness Fun Ball (learn more) is an effective and easy way for you to tone up while you're sitting down. Better than a conventional chair, this brightly-colored ball gently targets and tightens your core muscles — your pelvic floor, lower back and abdominal muscles — tightening your tummy and relaxing your spine.

If you're a slumper, you're in luck! It's almost impossible to slump while you're sitting on a Fitness Fun Ball. With every movement, you're constantly readjusting your spine and improving your posture. What could be easier?

And, yes, you can use the Fitness Fun Ball while you watch TV! Since there are no moving parts (expect you bouncing around,) toning up while you sit down is quiet and easy. You can easily work out while you're watching your favorite show or even while you're typing at your computer. No noise. No stress. Just a big, fun colored ball and you!

If you have a Fitness Fun Ball, here's a sample of the simple, fun exercises you can do:

• Easy March—This is a great exercise for your lymphatic system! Simply sit on the chair and gently march your feet up and down for no longer than five minutes.
  
  
• Alphabet—A fun, challenging exercise that stimulates balance and those tummy muscles. Simply sit on your Fitness Fun Ball and trace the letters of the alphabet with your foot.
  
  
• Shoulder Rolls and Side Bends—A relaxing way to release tension and invigorate your spine. Simply roll your shoulders backwards and forwards and carefully bend to the side. This calming exercise is a blissful break in your day.
