Well, if you get one of these you will be.
This may not be the most timely and exciting news of the week, but it’s fun all the same. Imagine playing video games whilst perched on one of those tortuous gym balls, you know the ones that make it look like you’ve a tumour growing out of your backside.
The site suggests there are fitness benefits to be had, particularly concentrating on the amount of children growing up with back pain and linking that to bad posture caused from dodgy sitting positions while playing games. Words such as “trunk flexion” and “spinal disk degeneration” feature, so it really must be good. Obviously, it’s just a gym ball branded as something that will benefit gamers, but it does look wicked.
I don’t know about you lot, but I want one!

looks quite groovy. if you can use it for sit-ups as well then its worth buying.

My missus has one of these for exercising, maybe I should pinch it of her for my gaming habit!

LOL , if that thing is gonna make me sit with a good posture then surely ’cause and effect’ will lead to me playing devastatingly bad , mind you the way I’ve been playing lately …..

I don’t want one, but should get one, cos I’m bloody lazy, and never get my arse of the sofa

I intend of getting a Sumo Omni sometime soon for gaming and lounging about. Who wouldn’t want to sit on something that’s like a chair but as comfy as a beanbag!

I used to have a beanbag similar to that - although not quite as big - and it was superb for playing games on. Might get me one of those Omnis sometime.

No thank you, Im fine with my screwed up back thank you very much!

I used to play sitting on a swiss ball and it is actually quite fun as well as good for you. It also teaches you not to get stressed out when you get killed cos that makes you fall off!

Oh, I know those type of balls! They’re great to play dodgeball with! I don’t see how they can be so good to sit on though. :S (First ever post on this site! xD)

Welcome to TSA, we’re nice and friendly, if a little obssessed with knifing people and rain.

I’ve tried gaming while sitting on a ball, it’s ok for up to three hours, but to manage my 6+ hours I need my sofa or chair.
