I've been using a LifeSpan treadmill desk for the last 5 years. I probably walk 1500+ miles each year on the treadmill, usually 4-5 hours a day (weekdays only) @ 1.5-2MPH.
It's absolutely amazing, and it's so habitual now that I have a harder time concentrating when I'm not walking and typing (my legs get really restless).
A really nice side benefit is when I go running or hiking, even after a long spell of not running or hiking, I am far less sore doing it because of all the walking at work.
- ceejayoz 9y agoAny concern about needing knee/hip replacements at some point from all the extra walking? I've been thinking about a treadmill desk but worry about damaging my joints.
- groby_b 9y agoThe damage from walking on the soft surface of a treadmill is... negligible. The extra pounds you'd be putting on without that walking will wreak way more havoc than the walking.
- ArlenBales 9y agoI'm 32 and have been a long distance runner most my life without ever having knee issues. I walk in my running shoes for stability and cushion, and since walking is a lot less impact than running, I'm not concerned about it.
