We had a trainer/coach speak at our tri club meeting last night and he said that switching your desk chair for even a few hours a week at work will do wonders for your core. Yes, I wasn't born yesterday and I know people have been doing this for a while, but I haven't been too concerned with it in the past. I guess once a tri coach at a tri meeting finally says it will work your core I decide to listen.<br><br>
Does anyone do this? I certainly do not workout my core as much as I should (generally once a week). Would this make a significant difference in my core strength and stability? If so, it seems like a lot of bang for your buck (i.e. getting a decent workout while it seems like you really aren't working at all).<br><br>
Or is this all just bullhickey and nothing is free and if I want to work on my core, I actually need to work on my core?

My former boss used to do it-she thought it was great, but after a couple of weeks she thought about closing her door b/c people always wanted to talk about it<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> At home our stability ball doubles as the desk chair in the 'office.' It is a good way to get in some core work.

I'm in the camp that thinks the key word here is "significant". I'd think not but I'm pretty cynical about anything that doesn't involve sweat.
