After 7 days of treadmill desk usage, I’ve lost a pound. I haven’t altered my diet or anything – just constantly walking at 1.0 MPH while I use my laptop. I’ve averaged about 3 miles a day, mostly a mix of 2-mile and 4-mile days. I’m aiming to get to 6 miles a day, but my feet may disapprove. It may be time to get some actual walking shoes designed by engineers.
That does it. I need to get my couch-glued butt up and see if I can rig something like this on our treadmill. Shit, if I’m going to play on blogs and messageboards and Facebook all day, I might as well be doing SOMETHING useful.
Congrats on the first pound lost!
It really does end up as a background task. I mostly don’t notice it until my feet hurt and I stop. Good luck with your plan 🙂
