Pause treadmill. Bend her over desk. Workout complete.

Like the idea, and IWHI not legit.

That would be annoying as shite for others around her. Hearing that damned treadmill run all the time

If I am on the treadmill, the only work I am doing is getting more awesome. My professional duties are on hold.

Yeah, I have one. It's where I throw my coat when I get to my office.

Had a professor who had one of those in his office. Said it was the greatest thing work related he'd ever tried.
Supposedly, if you sit for more than 6 hours (of waking hours I presume) it is enormously unhealthy for you no matter what type of shape your in. Don't have the link to the article because its several years old.

if you want to work, work. if you want to run, then run. doing two things half-assed at the same time is not any better than doing them individually as good as you can.
if something is worth doing, do it right.

Work and exercise at the same time? Just fricking shoot me.

It's true. Not even going to the gym before/after work can reverse or prevent the effects. I'm so screwed.

Someone at work used a standing desk for a while.
Since a treadmill isn't practical for 95% of office workers you should at least get up on the hour and walk around for a few minutes.

I worked for a Swedish company for a while. Every single person in the office had electric desks thatcould be raised on hydraulic lifts so people could stand and work. I actually liked it. However I don't think the treadmill would have been so great. Also, I would think it would be hard to type and my typing is bad enough as it is.

We have plenty people with these desks and even a couple of conference room tables that raise

Obviously, these aren't for running - I'd prefer walking to standing, so I can see the value of setting it at a mosey or a lollygag speed (2.5 to 3 mph) - then amping it up for about 10 minutes every hour (3.5) - I bet a person could maintain a reasonable level of fitness walking 8 hours per day - just sitting and typing, the average person burns 80 to 100 calories per hour (everyone will be different) - but that same person will burn 3 to 4 times that if they were walking the whole time, as they would walk 3+ miles every hour.
That would be 24 miles, give or take, in a 8-hour workday. Even if you don't want to lose weight, that would be another whole meal you could eat, with no problems.

This has hilariously idiotic workman's comp claim written all over it. But I still think it's kind of awesome.
I've thought about getting a treadmill at home for similar reasons. If I'm going to watch mindless tv or attempt to finish the internet, it seems like the least I could do is slowly amble alone on a treadmill while doing it. The cup holder, beer holder, is an added bonus. But even if it were the only thing in my tv room, I'd probably pile laundry on it and sit on the floor next to it because I'm a stupid, fat, lazy American.
