My workstation setup isnt practical for a standup desk but I was wondering about a compromise solution that would at least keep my legs moving.
I'm thinking of some kind of footrest that can be placed under a desk. The footrest is weighted and has bike pedals attached. You pedal whilst in your seat. So its sort of like an exercise bike but without the bike.
Anyone seen such a device or have other compromise solutions when a standup desk/treadmill is not practical?
- ZoFreX 14y agoSuch devices exist, and are usually made / marketed as gaming accessories - so as a bonus you could very easily wire something up to ensure you keep pedaling!
- AlexDanger 14y agoYes a desktop odometer would be nice! Do you know any of these particular gaming accessories? Mike's like in the child comment has the type of 'mini exercise bike' I'm after but a gaming accessory sounds cheaper and more fun.
- ZoFreX 14y agoI'm afraid I can't give you any specific recommendations, I just remember reading about one in PC Gamer magazine (UK) in 2006 or 2007.
- MikeKusold 14y agoA quick search and I found these: http://www.squidoo.com/under-desk-exercise http://www.squidoo.com/under-desk-exercise I'm not sure how they would effect posture though. To me it seems almost as if a under the desk stair master would be better.
