When sitting on the exercise ball chair during the day there will be constant minor adjustments of the body to keep upright on it.  These may be completely imperceptible to you but will still do your core a world of good.  These tiny movements will work muscles that you may not have used for awhile so it is recommended to begin in short bursts until you get used to it.

If you start using the exercise ball chair, you might find it uncomfortable to sit in for long hours at a time.  Start with about an hour or less, then sit on it for longer hours as the days go by.  You can also exercise on it during downtime, say when your computer is saving an especially large file, or if you have to scan your hard drives for viruses or damage.  The abdominal muscles are strengthened while posture is improved upon.  As a result, circulation is promoted and improved as well.
