treadmill deskI love this article because I’m a “stander.” I work and stand at my desk instead of sitting. I have no chair. But I like this idea, I guess, as long as you can get some work done. Not just get a workout done. 

“I Put In 5 Miles at the Office” – NY Times article:

“Enthusiasts began following Dr. Levine’s example, constructing treadmill desks that range from sleekly robotic set-ups to rickety mash-ups that could be Wall-E’s long-lost kin. But the recent introduction of an all-in-one treadmill desk from Details may inch work-walking into the mainstream, as dozens of businesses invest in the hardware to let their employees walk (and, ideally, lose a little weight) at work.”

Try it – what do you have to lose? Except those extra pounds and the Aeron chair you nabbed from your old boss’ office.
