Walkstation gives you a workout

October 20th, 2007 by Edwin in Home Gadgets, Office Gadgets, Sport

Not at a gym, mind you, but at work itself. This standing height desk is hooked up to a treadmill, helping you burn up additional calories while you’re trying to be productive for your boss. One thing’s for sure - either sweat absorbing and fast drying business suits will be all the rage in the upcoming fashion season, or most people will go to work in the gym attire should the Walkstation actually catch on big time. My guess is neither, as only a select few will take advantage of this unique multi-tasking office furniture. It will retail for $6,500 when released - and unless you use it regularly instead of going to the gym, you probably won’t see a very positive ROI on this one.

Actually, you do not sweat at 1-1.5 miles per hour. It feels totally natural to walk and if you think about it, it should. We evolved over millions of years as walkers not sitters and chairs are one of the main culprits in our health demise. The only thing that makes me sweat about the Walkstation is the price. A much more affordable and flexible product is the TrekDesk, they have a website at http://www.trekdesk.com that goes into detail on all the reasons we should all be considering walking while working.
