I also just bought a ball! I was going to use it when I worked out, but I also find myself sitting for a while when I am not running around like a fool. (stay at home mom with four children on summer vacation from school!) When I take a well needed break to read a chapter of my book, I plop right down on the ball and tighten my tummy or do circles to work out my "bottom line". I feel so much better, though sore in the morning, for I know I didn't just plop down and "veg out". Whoever invented the excercise ball should get a medal!

swap out your desk chair

i traded my chair for a yoga ball. it is fun to sit there and bounce around on, do crunches, squats, and many more antsy pantsy exercises while you are computing! oh, maybe even swap the dining room chairs for yoga balls. burn the calories as they are being eaten!!

Do your yoga!

Working nights and getting home late, I sometimes find it hard to sleep. I've taken to putting my yoga mat out next to my bed before I go to work. When I get home, instead of sitting on the couch watching TV until I'm tired enough to sleep, I get in a quick yoga session. Stretches me out, relaxes me after a long night, and gets me ready to sleep.
