         6 . The seated exercise device of  claim 2 , wherein the second at least one floor slider is constructed from a fabric material configured for operation on a hard surface. 
     
     
         7 . The seated exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the traction material is rubber. 
     
     
         8 . The seated exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the traction material is selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), styrene ethylene butylene styrene (SEBS), or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). 
     
     
         9 . The seated exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the body portion includes a retaining lip located on the perimeter of the support surface to retain the grip portion. 
     
     
         10 . The seated exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the grip portion includes a rectangular cutout in a center section of the grip portion, wherein the rectangular cutout allows an identifying mark included on the support surface of the body portion to be visible. 
     
     
         11 . The seated exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the body portion and base portion are constructed from a plastic material. 
     
     
         12 . The seated exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the body portion includes a plurality of cavities and structural support. 
     
     
         13 . The seated exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein the plurality of cavities provide containment for an optional activity tracker and at least one optional weight. 
     
     
         14 . The seated exercise device of  claim 13 , wherein the optional activity tracker provides the user with a plurality of fitness data generated from operation. 
     
     
         15 . The seated exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein the least one optional weight provides resistance during operation. 
     
     
         16 . A method comprising steps:
 (a) providing a seat on a floor surface, wherein the seat is configured to receive a user in a seated position;   (b) placing a first foot of the user on a first seated exercise device, wherein the first seated exercise device comprises a first body portion having a first continuous side wall, a first support surface, and a first plurality of cavities; a first grip portion attached to the first support surface, wherein the first grip portion is constructed from a first traction material providing traction to the first foot during operation; and a first reversible floor portion removably attached to the first body portion via a first attachment means, wherein the first reversible floor portion includes a first base member having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side includes a first at least one floor slider constructed from a low friction polymer and the second side includes a second at least one floor slider constructed from a fabric material;   (c) placing a second foot of the user on a second seated exercise device, wherein the second seated exercise device comprises a second body portion having a second continuous side wall, a second support surface, and a second plurality of cavities; a second grip portion attached to the second support surface, wherein the second grip portion is constructed from a second traction material providing traction to the second foot during operation; and a second reversible floor portion removably attached to the second body portion via a second attachment means, wherein the second reversible floor portion includes a second base member having a third side and a fourth side, wherein the third side includes a third at least one floor slider constructed from the low friction polymer and the fourth side includes a fourth at least one floor slider constructed from the fabric material; and   (d) moving the first and the second seated exercise device in a plurality of directions to improve blood circulation of the user.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising a step of placing an optional activity tracker in a cavity of the first and/or second plurality of cavities, wherein the optional activity tracker provides the user with a plurality of fitness data generated from step (d).
