Treadmill Desks: Walk While Working fat

Our bodies have evolved over millions of years to take us forward in our quest food, shelter and happiness even in the last 100 years our industrial workplace has changed from active to sedentary workers at night. This constant movement is an integral part of our health, which can interact many bodily functions to work properly.

In a blink Eye developments have forced a change in our bodies, which threatens our health. Most Americans and a growing number of citizens in countries industrialized now suffer from an extreme lack of movement during the day due to their occupations. Chairs, it seems, are killing us.

We bombarded daily with messages of why we as a nation are overweight and sets and cures that are available are limitless, however, the simplest solution supported by solid medical evidence seems to be gaining little attention. We were built for walking. Our bodies have to walk all day for optimal health.

A 10-year study completed by the physician Dr. James Levine of the Mayo Clinic Health found that the main difference between lean and overweight is momentum in their daily lives. On average, a healthy person moves more than 2.5 hours in a day than a person who is overweight. This translates into a loss Weighing about 36 pounds a year for a healthy individual and is the main reason they remain proportional weight.

Therefore, there we have it. The cost of $ 100 billion annually of diseases related to obesity in the United States could be reduced significantly if everyone started walking, every day 2.5 hours extra.

Sounds simple, right? Try telling that to a single mother struggling to just get through your day with your list things to do. The last thing any of us need is more advice to tell us what we know unless they offer a solution.

Well, Dr. Levine did just that. He worked with Steelcase to design a workstation product that allows an individual to walk on a treadmill while working. In short: it works and works well. Levine believes that an individual can lose 50-60 pounds a year for work. This also has other great benefits for your health. The lymphatic system is activated when moving which means that fight disease easier (when you sit, which literally turns off).

Walking has been shown to relieve or prevent the biggest health risk Americans today such as cancer, heart disease, mild depression, and diabetes type II. There are actually many more health advantages of using a treadmill desk.

Therefore, if the answer is so simple why is not this headline news? First, in just a few generations we have convinced ourselves that date all day is acceptable behavior. Our designs reflect our workspace sedentary bias towards this state. The idea of walking at work is radical in many peoples minds, when it should be other way around.

Second, the $ 6,500 cost is prohibitive for many. Enter American ingenuity. A company has designed a desk and chair exercise ball that fits existing tape in a fraction of the cost of WalkStation. TrekDesk is called (you can read about it in http://www.trekdesk.com). There are some other advantages to this design as well. How fits existing tapes have a wider selection of treadmills at your discretion. The WalkStation not a function of elevation (which allows you to greatly increase the calorie burn), you literally can burn two times the amount of calories used function of elevation. It also allows dual use of the treadmill, simply leave the screen intact and lift the center console and your treadmill can be used for more rigorous aerobic exercise.

An Exercise Ball Chair is another feature worth considering. It is based slide underneath your treadmill and if you have a universal swing arm fitting that literally changes chair position when needed, or is drawn out the road when you are ready to walk again. The advantage to the exercise ball chair is that it engages with core muscles while sitting, burn calories and strengthen your body.

If you're ready to regain their health, end your day feeling more energized than when you started, reduce stress and lose weight each and every day you work a desk treadmill is for you.

I want to buy a used treadmill…?

What should I know about buying a used treadmill? What brands are good? I have a fairly low budget (about $150) which I realize can be tricky for this kind of thing and I may end up with a piece of junk which I would really like to avoid if at all possible.

Here are some brands and models I am considering…
Lifestyler Expanse 1500
Gold’s Gym
Image 10.0

Any thoughts on these brands or other brands I should look for? Weslo is a very common brand for sale but what I have read it seems they are not very good.

Any insight would be helpful!

Most of the treadmills available at the retail level are built by the same company, Icon.

When you are looking at a used treadmill, look at the belt, it should run down the center of the treadmill and not be too worn. Make sure the treadmill is unplugged, and stick your hand under the belt, feel the board under the belt, it should be somewhat smooth with no cracks or deep gouges.

Start the treadmill, without getting on it, run the motor through all the speeds, listen for squeaks, ticks, or rattleing noises. Get on the treadmill and start running on it, does the belt slip?

The real test can be dangerous, so I’ll leave it up to you if you want to do it or not. Grab onto the side bars and using your feet, try and stop the belt. Can you? Depending on the size of the motor, you may not be able to. Listen for any loud squealing or grinding noises.
