Could yoga balls jeopardize your standing on the corporate ladder? A new report suggests so.

“It was downright humiliating,” explains Josie,* a 24-year-old former personal assistant who had been using one of the popular rubber balls in place of her office chair. “My boss, in a particularly foul mood, would stomp over in her stilettos and kick the thing out from under me! One time I flew right out of my cubicle, hit my head on the watercooler, and had to go to the ER to get stitches. I was the laughing stock of the office. And no one — I mean not a soul — even noticed my awesome six-pack.”

Now Josie maintains her core and her dignity with a SitFit Plus from Sissel.

Much like a balance ball, the SitFit Plus seat cushion makes you sit up straight while working your abs. And, unlike your current alt-seating arrangement, it will not slip out from under you or look like a prop from Gymboree class. It’s discreet, fits all types of seats and can even work out your legs and feet.

“It’s totally improved my work life,” Josie marvels.

“Though not as much as switching jobs did.”
