Treadmill Workstation



Really Cool Idea

Companies looking for a way of encouraging health and fitness among their workforce can try the treadmill workstation.  This is basically an integrated treadmill and desk.  Configurations vary among producers but they are all designed to hold standard office IT equipment (phone, monitor, tower, keyboard etc).  Speed controls for the treadmill are on the work surface also.

Practical?

I haven't tried working like this but I would like to give it a shot.  In theory, you would burn a load of calories while getting your job done.  Would you feel sweaty and gross?  You would probably have to dress lightly and pace yourself so that you don't heat-up.  Running shoes would be better than pumps or oxfords.  Maybe someone has or will develop a stationary bike workstation.  If you've tried the treadmill workstation; let me know what you think.
