    Can you imagine using a treadle with this chair? What a workout!

    Hm, wasn't there a fitness guru who had one of those push-me-pull me riders? I think the motion would be similar.

    :lol: :lol: LMAO!!! Another round please! I actually don't know if I'm coordinated enough for this. :lol: :lol:
    Cute, but my chair is in front of a picture window in a room with wood floors. Great for cleaning up, but sometime I am going to back right out the window. I would probably kill my self in that chair. Would like to see one though.

    Here's a pic of what it looks like with someone sitting on it, with a pretty good posture.

    Do you think your back would ache without the support behind you?

    I think the idea is that the back and core muscles get stronger. If it really does do that, I would love to use one while on the internet.

    It sure would be good to do a little toning with all the sitting we do surfing and sewing!
