No More Excuses To Avoid Exercising!

A Sedentary Lifestyle is slowly killing us ... most of us are no longer active enough during the day to stay healthy and sitting in chairs for long periods of time is actually very detrimental to our health.

It is the lack of movement that is doing us no good and that is where a TrekDesk Treadmill Desk which encourages you to move gently without raising a sweat will be of great benefit to anyone living and working a sedentary-type job.

This ingenious idea otherwise known as the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk is a do-it-yourself (DIY) flat-pack vertical desktop that is easily attached to any standard sized treadmill which gives you the means to walk slowly on the treadmill (ie. actually do some gentle exercise without the need to break into a sweat or run/jog to work off calories) whilst you are working ... in other words, you can walk without leaving your office or work from home office ... how neat is that!

The TrekDesk was originally built for offices, with a variety of features meant to keep employees productive and fit throughout the day and can easy be used in a home office situation if you already own a treadmill and room to have it in your office.

Designed by a team of engineers, manufacturing, and sales professionals, the TrekDesk is intended to make people more productive and healthier at the same time.

The TrekDesk offers a generous workspace that measures 72 inches long by 34 inches wide and weighs 57 pounds.

It is adjustable to suit users between 5'4" and 6'4" in height and supports up to 55 pounds of equipment on top of it.

So What Exactly Is a TrekDesk Treadmill Desk?

The TrekDesk Treadmill desk will encourage you to walk slowly on a treadmill whilst you are performing office tasks such as talking to your clients over the phone, typing and/or word-processing tasks or just simply catching up on your emails.

It has several accessories that includes a manuscript holder, a tri-level file folder for file storage and if required a landline telephone and headset stand, as well as two cup/utility holders on either side of the desk.

The designers of the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk have cut-out the centre of the desk which enables you to keep all of the actual treadmill controls and accessories within easy reach and still enabling you to position your body close enough to type on a laptop or to use a computer mouse.

The TrekDesk, can be easily put together within 30 to 45 minutes. The TrekDesk is extremely sturdy when it is attached to a treadmill despite it's foldable design. It folds up for easy storage when it is not in use.

It has a two height-adjustable support legs, which are fixed 49 inches apart and these provide a solid and robust steel base made from a premium powder-coated steel frame which has been built to last a lifetime.

The TrekDesk has a two-year manufacturer's warranty.

The TrekDesk's steel frame is topped off by a resilient, steel-reinforced, heavy-duty, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) desktop.

Everybody Must Have A TrekDesk Treadmill Desk

The TrekDesk offers a number of benefits to both work and home users as it not only encourages you to exercise and thereby promote increased fitness levels as well as weight loss, it can also help in disease prevention by boosting your overall physical health and stamina.

The TrekDesk can also improves your mood and increases your daily productivity all whilst walking on a treadmill.

It also will help to promote healthy restorative sleep patterns, which in turn decreases your stress levels and keeps you happier.

The health benefits of using a TrekDesk whilst you are working are priceless, just think about all of those empty-calories that you are burning off just by walking gently and doing tasks that you would normally be doing during the day anyway, except this time you are standing upright and not sitting done on the job.

The TrekDesk may look a bit odd and may also take some getting used to initially but I am sure that before too long it will be seen as a practical and functional piece of equipment that promotes and encourages a total overhaul of your mental and physical well-being.

Well worth checking out (at least have a look at the You Tube Video down below)!

Excuses Be Gone ... simply walk whilst you work and enjoy better health in doing so!

The Trekdesk console has numbered and adjustable height settings between the range of 46.5 inches (118cms) and 56.5inches (143cms). It is easy to adjust by screwing in the height adjustable knobs into the holes at the height you require.

The Trekdesk is not suitable for very young/small children though.

UrsulaRose, do you actually own one of these? I want to know how adjustable they are. I'd like one for me, but then adjust it for my daughter, so I'm wondering how easy it is to adjust, do you know?

Creative thinking ... I like it!

Either way people (myself included) could all do with introducing or increasing exercise into our lives ... the least it will do is prevent our bones/joints from seizing up!

I could certainly see the appeal. For me, it wouldn't be to exercise while working, though. It would be to get some work done (or play) while I'm exercising! Cool either way.
