Add a desk to your treadmill for $19 and burn 600 calories a day

Treadmilldesk3Wow, when I moved my road bike into my home office, I had the best of intentions. Most days however, the only muscles I’m exercising when at home are my friends “gluteus” and “maximus”. As in my bum, for those not into Latin (which I took just for fun in college, but that’s another story for another day).So every once in a while my bike makes a handlebar cameo appearance in one of our videos to show off the dust. That’s why I was so impressed by Jonathan Fields and his treadmill desk setup. He blogs, writes and remains productive while slowly walking on his treadmill during the day. He says he burns around 600 daily calories with a slow but steady one-mile-an-hour pace, all while writing on his computer. He’s used a $19 Target shoe rack along with Apple wireless keyboard and mouse for his desk, making the implementation simple and inexpensive. In his article he has a link to a blog devoted to treadmill desks, so if you want to compute and stay healthy at the same time, this is a great resource. I should also mention that Jonathan had a high paying position but left it in favor of pursuing a self-employment career he fully enjoys. I’m in the midst of the same activities, but it remains to be seen if I’ll see the success that Jonathan does. I highly recommend you read his about page for more info; it’s definitely inspiring!(via Steve Rubel’s tweet)
