Work out while you're working??
Treadmill Desk
Want to lose up to 57 lbs in one year?Can't find enough time to get to the gym?Spend lots of time in front of a computer?
If you answered Yes, Yes and Yes, then welcome to the solution...the Treadmill Desk.Dr. James Levine of the Mayo Clinic came up with the idea of a "Treadmill Desk".
The idea is to slowly walk on a treadmill while working at a desk built around the treadmill...a Treadmill Desk.
Dr Levine's research revealed that on the average his subjects burned 100 extra calories every hour while walking slowly -- at 1 mile per hour -- than while sitting in a chair.
Dr. Levine believes that if individuals were to replace 8 hours a day of sitting at their "normal" desk with a Treadmill Desk, and if other components of energy balance were constant, a weight loss of 57 pounds a year could occur.
