Walking Desk – Walking Desks? Never Heard of One

Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

A walking desk treadmill is built with a sturdy overbed, often a U-shaped table, with tall stands supporting it, so that the treadmill machine can fit underneath it. More often than not, the table is not designed to install on the treadmill but rather, it stands by itself, so that you won’t have to worry about the whole table shaking while you sprint or run.

Walking Desk

It is a fact that most of us city folks or those who have a full time job not to get decent exercises.

No matter how much we tell ourselves, a week earlier,

that we will surely proceed with our workout routine, we’d end up not doing one at all.

This problem is very much similar to telling ourselves

that we’re going to take that last bite of that luscious

moist chocolate cake, only to end up finishing the entire thing.

With the amount of work needed to be done with so little

time, we often have to skimp that spare 30 minutes of

running or walking for more important things, such as more work, with the family, or for lunch or a break.

Fortunately, we have the walking desk.

For people like us who find allotting at least 30 minutes a

day for various exercise routines impossible or tedious

we have the walking desk, sometimes known as the trek desk, the treadmill desk or the tread desk.

Walking Desk

Well, no, this is not a desk that walks or a wheeled desk

that you could push around while you walk, that is simply idiotic, not to mention impractical to build.

As the name implies, this type of furniture is a

combination between the computer table and the

treadmill, allowing the user to simultaneously walk on the

treadmill while reading, writing, or typing on the work station.

A walking desk treadmill is built with a sturdy overbed,

often a U-shaped table, with tall stands supporting it, so that the treadmill machine can fit underneath it.

More often than not, the table is not designed to install

on the treadmill but rather, it stands by itself, so that you

won’t have to worry about the whole table shaking while you sprint or run.

Some stands are even designed like carts with locking wheels for better mobility.

For avid readers, a reading stand may even be installed

on top of the table while a laptop computer may also be

mounted on the table for better stability and security.

Meanwhile, the treadmill can be used like any regular treadmill.

There are many kinds of the walking desk, such as the

steelcase walking desk, which has a very durable design.

Naturally, this furniture is not for everyone, since there

are some people who get dizzy when moving while

concentrating on something, such as a book or the computer monitor.

This is especially true for those people who get dizzy

when reading the newspaper or a book while riding in a vehicle.

In instances such as this, it would be best to do your

exercises the standard way or you could walk a slower

pace while working so as to minimize any shaking, while still getting the exercise you need.
