I'm curious if there has been any research into walking slowly on a treadmill, though. The upper level of your ability to job is far more demanding physically.

I'm curious if there has been any research into walking slowly on a treadmill, though. The upper level of your ability to job is far more demanding physically. And it's also a bit demanding mentally as your body is busy mapping a route, looking out for stones or cracks you might trip on, etc. Walking slowly on a treadmill with your desk in front of you could yield a very different result.

yes, but walking slowly is nearly indistinguishable from sitting in terms of calorie burn rate.

  But maybe it's better in terms of posture for your body, over all? You may burn the same number of calories, but you're up straight, and your joints and muscles are doing something. I'm sure that must be beneficial on its own
