I’d never heard of a treadmill desk<\/a> until I read about it on my friend Arthur Slade’s blog<\/a>. But once you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. <\/p>\n

Art’s a writer (you can see his books at his website<\/a>) so rather than spending all day sitting at his computer, he decided to walk at his computer. Here’s a snip from the blog post:<\/p>\n

Since I, as a writer, tend to sit for hours and hours and hours, this idea of a treadmill desk kept coming back to me. Finally, I decided to take the plunge. Dr. Levine’s desk is $4500 or more, so I frugally made my own (for about $500). I’d read about home built treadmill desks (just Google “treadmill desk” if you want to learn more about treadheads) and followed several fine examples (here’s a great blog). I bought a Tempo Evolve treadmill from Canadian Tire, and, oddly enough, the arms on it were perfect for attaching a shelf. It runs quietly and fits nicely into my office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Art’s got a great post<\/a> about his new desk (which he’d been using for about a month when he wrote the post back in early February. And he made a video of himself on the thing.<\/p>\n

This is such a cool idea. It’s the kind of thing you often hear people speculate about, but full credit to Art for actually doing it!<\/p>\n

I don’t have a treadmill, but I do own a rowing machine. I wonder if I can adapt that?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
