Exercise balls. Good or bad for losing weight?

Pic related.

also, what if I used one for sitting at the computer?

Neutral. You don't need it, although it adds difficulty if you include it when doing leg raises.
After a while your lower back will hurt from sitting on it.
PS: Balls don't make you lose weight, using more calories than you consume does.

Shit sucks.
Want to lose wieght? Jog for half an hour a day.
And get your ass of "sitting at the computer" if you want to exercise.
Sitting at the computer made you gain weight, change that.

I use my ball as a computer chair and love it. It's fun to bounce around on (of course), and you find that you are constantly moving, and therefore your core is constantly being used. Not sure if that helps at all, but you feel better than sitting in a chair all day.

Just put a blanket over it or you WILL get a sweaty asshole from the rubber plastic material they use.

It's cool to have a couple of different diameter ones around for various exercises. Just, if you have more than one, make sure that they don't touch together under any circumstances.

Using one to sit at the computer does help a bit. You'll burn more calories than regular sitting, and you're probably gonna be doing a lot fo sitting anyway.

Just don't think that sitting on the computer on an exercise ball counts even a little bit toward your regular exercise which you will still definitely need to do.

Only helps at a compooter if you actually keep your fucking posture proper.

Otherwise, swiss balls are a great boost to core exercises like crunches and the like, but you need to work the opposing muscle groups too otherwise you just get damaged.

I always use one for sitting at my computer. Not for any fitness or health reason, just because it was there and i liked it better than my chair.
But I just found out today its got a tiny hole in it and its slowly leaking air. D=
