Some fitness advocates recommend replacing the standard office desk chair with an exercise ball. Sitting on a large rubber ball is reported to strengthen your core because of the effort required by your abdominal and lower back muscles to keep you steady. The practice has been criticized by others, however, who point out that the balls can't be adjusted to position the body properly to prevent repetitive stress injury while using a computer, and that the ball offers no back or arm support.
