Does exercise in the workplace have to be in a gym? Is there a way to work while you work out?walkdesk

Dr. James Levine, an obesity researcher of the Mayo Clinic believes there is. There has been a lot of buzz about his creation of what he calls the “Treadmill Desk.” Simply put, it is a desk that is taller than normal and instead of sitting down while you work, you stand upright and walk on a treadmill.

Walking at a pace of just 1 mile per hour, it is estimated that a person can burn an extra 100 calories per hour. Offices around the country are adopting this philosophy. Dr. Levine researches the calories people burn during everyday activities. I think he is definitely on to something with this invention. I like the idea of burning calories while getting work done!
