in Miscellaneous ·
I don't need anything fancy or overpriced. 😁 Does anyone know where I could pick one up?

Is that what causes that green stain on your skin where the jewelry sat? I used to get that all the time with costume jewelry.

Count me in for squash. I was completely wiped out after just 20 minutes, and my glutes were killing me for a couple of days.😁

I'm about 6'9" and weigh around 275 lbs. So, dropping below 165 probably isn't worth it. But 75 centimeters... that's massive. 🙂 My desk isn't even a meter wide (standard desks are usually about 35 inches, right?). I'll end up leaning over the desk again.
Well, once you sit on it, it just flattens out. 🙂 Don't sweat it. For me, the only issue is that I can't tuck it under the desk like a regular chair, so I'm sitting a bit far away, but it's not a huge deal. I'll manage.

frozencobra37 said:Hmm, I’m pretty tall, so getting the angle right might be tricky. As for the ice, I’m skeptical. Still, it seems worth a shot.
I am also wondering if the ball can actually hold up my weight.
The balls are actually quite durable. How tall are you?
I'm about 5'9" and a 25-inch ball works great for me.
The 30-inch one is really meant for taller people, but you should probably just try sitting on it to see how it feels.

That’s a solid plan. I'll add some turn signals and a horn, and boom—brand new mode of transportation. I'm going to be loaded once I patent this thing. Don't worry, Michael, I'll give you a cut of the royalties.😉

The only issue is you have to inflate it yourself. It’s best to just hit up a gas station.

I actually got a pump that works with my ball. I’d feel a bit silly having to drive to a gas station every single time it loses a little air.
My issues with broken capillaries started right when I switched to contacts. I’ve since gone back to wearing glasses.🙂
I’m dealing with the exact same thing. My eyes turn red the second I push myself even a little bit. Have you tried using some high-strength eye drops? Something like $8.25. You can usually pick those up over the counter

If you aren't sitting correctly on a stability ball—meaning your back isn't straight—your balance is going to take a hit. I’ve definitely noticed that myself. That’s why finding the right size for your height is so important.

hm... I don't spend 8 hours a day on it, so I can't say for sure. When I get tired of sitting there, I just head back to my desk. 😁 It feels a bit awkward at first, but you get used to it. It’s actually pretty fun, though. Plus, it's nice to stretch out a bit when you need a break from working.

It probably does all the heavy lifting for us. We just need to sit on it and call it a day. 🙂 😁

Michael Jones23 said:They have them at Walmart or Target, but they probably aren't as high quality. Does anyone know where to find cheaper ones? And what’s actually the difference between those and the expensive ones you find at specialty stores?
I actually picked one up at Target for $27 a few weeks ago. The price really just depends on the size. From what I've heard from my physical therapist, there isn't a massive difference in performance. The $233 one is basically the same as the $70 version. Still... there's that old saying, "you get what you pay for." 🙂 I'm not sure. These are just exercise balls. I'd never pay full price for one $233. I got mine as a birthday gift, so I feel bad asking about the cost, but I doubt it was anything crazy.

Mine didn't list any weight limits or load capacities. Apparently, there’s some kind of chart based on height. I’m about 5'9", and a physical therapist suggested a 26-inch ball would work for me, though he did tell me to sit on it first to test it out (your legs should be at roughly a 90-degree angle when you're seated). My sister is about 5'5" and she was given the exact same advice: go with the 26-inch one.
Sunspots and hyperpigmentation help!

I stumbled upon this little recipe. I’m not sure if it’ll work for everyone, but... give it a shot.
Watermelon Mask
It hydrates dry skin, cools things down, and soothes redness after too much time in the sun. It can also help fade spots and pigmentation.
Finely chop some thick slices of watermelon and apply them directly to a clean face. Rinse off after 15 minutes, then follow up with a nourishing moisturizer.

I actually love my freckles. I can't wait for the summer sun to come out so they show up even more 😁
Bleaching them? No way.

frozencobra37 said:How sturdy is it really? Can I jump on it normally if I weigh about 260 pounds?
Give it a test sit. If it snaps, then it’s clearly not built for you.🙂
But seriously, I'm not joking. I'm right around 150.
I was using it tonight while watching the news. My wife picked it up at Target.
