Did you notice any improvement in posture with this?

I've been on this chair 10 months.

First of all I no longer even notice -- it seems natural to sit on it.

In normal chairs I slouch(leaning backwards with my hips pushing forward) BAD. With this chair my posture varies from upright to sometimes a forward lean where I put my elbows on my desk.

Comfort is good. Quality is good as I have used it for 10 months 5 days a week 8 hours a day and I only added air once.

Did it make me a better "sitter"? I don't have a control group, but I have no reason why I would not buy another if it broke.

I'm 5'11" 175lbs with a 32" inseam. If I were much taller I don't think this version would fit me. Weight doesn't seem to be an issue as all my heavier coworkers have tried out my chair.

One warning: I paid my own money to buy one to sit on at work. I was careful to hide my "normal" desk chair as we have chair thieves and any "open" chair will be appropriated. Once you are comfortable this is not an issue, but prior I would be cautious to make sure you don't lose your existing chair.

Swim - Bike - Run the rest is just clothing changes.

Ya, agree 100%, I just would not want a job that required standing 8 or more hrs/day.

I think this is true for lots of people, best thing is to get the the legs elevated at least parallel to the floor in a second chair, or preferably higher, i.e. up on your desk, etc. If your boss says anything, just assure him/her you are indeed working hard but are also trying to assist your legs' recovery. I do this quite often and my "productivity" is higher than anyone else in my work group. Of course, this will only work if you have a job with no public interaction, since the "general public" will just think we're being lazy:)

I'll bet...I've been doing sprints & Olys so much less volume. Figured I'd do it like interval training: 15 min standing, 45 minutes sitting and go from there. Other than the cost, I figured it can't hurt me too much.

Sitting isn't paleo. Did the caveman sit on a modern 90 degree chair for hours a day? I think not!!!!

I made a thread about this not long ago too:

I also bought a tread desk, and do high speed intervals while doing my taxes. JK, I bought a standing desk:



It's a specially designed, ergonomic, super desk designed for superhuman paleo CEO types. It set me back $5,000.
