How many calories do you burn per hour sitting on a stability ball?

Q: At work I sit on a stability ball (7 hours/day) and is wondering if anyone else does this, how its working for them and how many calories they burn?

A: Quite honestly you’d find the amount of calories to be negligible.We burn a certain amount of calories just sitting, even sleeping. It is not a huge amount.You would burn more calories sitting on a stability ball than on a normal chair since your core would be working. Not a significant amount though.As an indication you would burn roughly 60 calories an hour lying still. 90 calories an hour sitting, standing, reading, eating. You burn about 180 calories an hour walking at 5km/h or 3 mph (a gentle walk).So assuming you burn the same calories as sitting normally you would burn 630 calories in 7 hours sitting on a ball. Might be more but I’m not sure how much.It may sound like alot but in the scheme of things it’s really not.It’s very good that you sit on a stability ball as opposed to a normal chair. 7 hours a day will give you a fantastically strong core. This will help you so much in a normal day. Your posture will improve which give an instant illusion of weight loss. It will also be a great investment for one day when you’re older.
