Sitting is the New Smoking
"Sitting for most of the day reduces your life "- wisdom
For most of our history men has been a hunter or a farmer. Both of these types of ways to make a living force men to be active. Modern day work does the opposite.
Recently a new trend is emerging. I have seen coworkers purchase desks that are able to raise in order for them to be able to stand and work. Varidesk is one brand of such a desk.
Another type of desk includes a treadmill. The person walks at two miles per hour. So in theory if one uses the treadmill for just for hours a day, the person would have walked about eight miles. Pretty impressive.
I believe that if someone has an office to themselves this could be wonderful way to get exercise in during the day. But if you do not then using a treadmill could be very disruptive. Walking is a great way to clear the mind and this type of desk could be very helpful to the creative process. So there are positive and negative aspects of it.
Today's question is:
"Could you use a treadmill for a full day?"
