Treadmill desks are here to stay and many people are using them. I have the TrekDesk at http://www.trekdesk.com to be the most affordable option out there.

@Lori -I can’t recommend this enough. The set-up is key though. And a healthy dose of cliff-jumping because it’s a big change.

@Jeanette- Sure will! Drop in from time to time and ask me how this works long term.

As a physiotheraperaist down under studying a post grad diploma in info and library studies, I think this is impressive. I’m sending this link to all my physio friends. Please keep us up to dateon how this plays out. Can we put these in our libraries?

I have chronic back problems which my chiropractor attributes to sitting at work all day. Imagine the savings to our healthcare system if office workers were allowed to work like this — decreases in obesity, heart disease, diabetes, not to mention a great way to manage stress. We’d eventually even see insurance premiums go down. Glad to see library workers on board with this!

Thanks for posting the video. It’s great! I think I’ll bring this up at the next departmental meeting and see if we can’t implement treadmill desks at my work.

Sure will Casey!

You tell ‘em Melissa! I’m going to have to really mod my workspace over the holidays to make this long term.

Ok that’s it! I’ve decided if I can’t have a treadmill here, I’m going to have desk surface raised. Just called in the work order…thanks for the motivation!

Glad you’re walking at work. I’d be interested in hearing how your treadmill stands up over time, as one reason I’ve fallen off the wagon is that mine doesn’t operate at slow speeds anymore. Though it just now occurs to me that I might be able to lubricate the area under the tread — now I must find spray teflon….

I asked for one of these in my interview for my present job. Haven’t got one yet, though. :-\
