I can relate to this. While cycling I think about stuff and the intensity really determines how focused I can be thinking. During really high intensity cycling my thinking is usually reduced to just a looping line from a song or "go go go"
I was considering if a modification to a standing desk to make it a cycling desk would be a good idea but now I think there is just no point because you will be half assing both exercise and focus. Really what you want to do is do some high intensity effort while doing nothing else and then low intensity stuff while working. A walking desk might still be a good idea if you set it to 2-3km/h. I find standing to be a little uncomfortable for long periods but walking is fine.
- vinceguidry 7y agoThe issue with a walking desk is that the treadmill only goes one speed, you have to manually adjust it, it doesn't just let you walk naturally. It just wound up being distracting. It's not like the experience of walking and thinking at all. I would pay good money for one that did.
- gniv 7y agoLook into non-motorized treadmills. The curved ones are popular now, they are easier to use.
- ck425 7y agoI also suspect that part of the benefit is the changing environment. The article talks about the internal GPS and how training it via walking trains the brain in general. If you're moving on the spot, I imagine the internal GPS won't get worked nearly as much.
