Quick Tip: A “Chair” That Strengthens Abs While You Work
If you’re a writer or designer, you sit … a lot. When you’re sitting, you aren’t exercising your abdominal muscles. And these are the most important muscles to keep in shape if you want to protect your back.
So wouldn’t it be nice if you could strengthen your abs by doing nothing more than sitting? Well, you can … if you exchange your slouch-encouraging chair for a large exercise ball.
The concentration and balance required to stay upright on these balls help build strength when you’d otherwise be using bad posture. A very significant side effect is a firmer waist.
You can pick up one of these balls, complete with video, for around $20 or less at a local sports store or at Amazon.com. (Search for “core stability ball.”)
Read “The Golden Thread” and make more money as a copywriter:
