Active sitting is sitting on an unstable surface to help improve posture and strengthen core muscles. This can help relieve back pain and other issues from prolonged sitting. Active sitting became popular when people started using a Swiss ball or stability ball to sit on, but now there are a variety of chairs that do the same thing in a safer way.

Is there really such a thing as perfect posture when sitting. Well, yes, and no. For a very long time, the idea of 90/90/90 has been the gold standard. 90 degrees at your hips, knees, and ankles. Well, this is not very realistic in every day life, especially when you have to sit all day.

I got a chance to try the QOR360 Ariel 2.0. This dynamic chair allows movement in all directions. Since this is active sitting, it’s important to note that it’s similar to starting any exercise program. Check with your doctor, and build up to sitting on it for long periods since it is constantly working your muscles.
