Our modern lifestyle “forces us” to sit for a long time on a chair. The “seated employees” are now-a-days the majority. At the same time, this is also the case with most of our leisure activities. Whether we are reading a book, watching TV or sitting in front of a computer. Using ReformMe pilates ball chair instead of a traditional chair helps us improve our posture, by strengthening our spine.
Recent research has shown that we spend 9.5 hours a day sitting. Which means that we spend 75% of our time in low mobility mode, when including our sleeping hours.
As a result, the muscles become weaker. This also explains why sedentary lifestyle increases the number of people with lower back and waist pain. Limited muscle and joint mobility throughout the day is the cause for many musculoskeletal problems.
A study conducted in 2012 collected data from the habits of 7,813 women. It was observed, that those who sat ten hours a day had shorter telomeres, which are an indicator of cell aging. The conclusion of this study was that sedentary life had aged these women by eight years.
Is it however convenient to use ReformMe pilates balls as an alternative to a traditional chair? Unfortunately, the answer is negative. Pilates balls are addressed to highly trained people and can be used in place of a traditional chair for maximum 20 to 30 minutes a day!
