What You Need to Know About Treadmill Desks?

Doctors generally recommend you walk about 10,000 steps per day at a minimum. Many times, the demands of work and home responsibilities and other things make it difficult to reach this goal each day. Even if you happen to exercise at other times, such as at the gym or at home, sitting in a chair for 8 hours a day or thereabouts is not a healthy exercise for the body. This is where a treadmill desk workstation can make a significant difference. This type of workstation allows you to walk at a relatively slow pace while working. At Active Station, we offer a treadmill desk for sale that can provide you with much needed activity for the body, replacing a sedentary posture, and resulting in distinct health and work productivity benefits.

The treadmill used in a treadmill desk workstation is different than the ones you will find at your local gym or even the high-performance ones who can purchase for home use. These treadmills are not designed for running. Often, they have a maximum speed of about 4 mph. A common comfortable walking speed for working is around 1 to 2 mph.

Make It Easy to Get Exercise in During the Day

Treadmill desks make it convenient and easy for workers to attend to their health while earning a living at the same time. In addition, exercising tends to feel like less of an effort while also being preoccupied with work. Our treadmill desk for sale makes this possible.

Promote Better Cognitive Function

Walking consistently on a day-to-day basis may also increase cognitive function in workers, improving ability to concentrate on tasks and enhancing alertness.

Certain Work Tasks are Ideal for Walking

Some common work tasks office workers engage in regularly are similar to what they already do on their cell phones while walking, such as talking on the phone or reading a book at the gym, or even checking emails while standing and/or walking. Learning how to perform some more complicated tasks while walking may take a little time, but just as with many things, practice will make perfect.

Make Sure You Have Enough Space

A treadmill desk workstation is a sizable piece of furniture. Before you purchase one of these units, take the necessary measurements to ensure you have sufficient room.

Take into Account Co-Workers

Treadmill desks are designed and manufactured to run quitter than your standard exercise treadmill. However, you still should make sure the operation of a quiet treadmill and repetitive footsteps will be tolerable for other nearby workers in your workplace.
