Home Office: Walking while you work
We all have our favorite place to work. Would you ever consider working while walking on a treadmill? Before you grin and click away – a TrekDesk makes this possible.
A TrekDesk fits onto most electric treadmills providing a desktop that can hold a laptop, some paper storage and a flat surface to work from. I do not know that I am that coordinated but it is an interesting idea.
It is difficult to fit exercise into a busy day. In my case if I want to exercise I either get up earlier or go to bed later. Most days I get up earlier.
The TrekDesk team reminds potential customers that exercise improves your heart, controls your blood sugar, helps you sleep better at night and helps control disease. I agree that exercise is good for you but I do worry that falling off a treadmill may not be good for you. Just a little distraction could be dangerous.
TrekDesk has taken into account that people get tired as well. They have a “chair” that works with the treadmill desk. It is a big exercise type ball that fits into a specially designed frame that sits above the tread of the treadmill.
This has got to be one of the most interesting home office set ups that I’ve seen. If you want to see a picture of it perform an Internet search for TrekDesk.
