You Don’t Have To Sit To Do Your Desk Job!
Enter the Treadmill Desk.
It’s actually been around for a couple years now, but I’m still surprised how many people have never heard of it when I bring it up. Rather than sitting in your office getting tired, fat and immobile, the Treadmill Desk comes with a built-in computer and workstation, allowing you to walk slowly throughout the day while doing your work. There are definitely skeptics out there, but Dr. James Levine “stands” behind his creation (Check out the calorie burn!):

The Treadmill Desk is making its way into more homes, but businesses are still a bit slow to invest in the costly equipment under the current economic conditions. As the video mentions, the health benefits of simply moving more are bound to pay back dividends for most employers by drastically cutting healthcare costs.
Until the market proves stable, however, perhaps the alternative is the $39 “Build It Yourself” Treadmill Desk. Check it out here!
