Desk Bicycle/Treadmill

[Norbpha]

[FONT=&quot]Does anyone have experience with either a desk bicycle or desk treadmill?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Any thoughts on whether they do more than just burn a few hundred calories through the day? I'm looking for a way to keep my conditioning when I have weeks during which I'm too busy to run. Obviously this is no replacement, but if it'd help even a little, that'd be awesome.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I'm concerned about my ability to type/read/concentrate while using one, but I think an under-desk bicycle wouldn't be too distracting. Thoughts?[/FONT]

I've honestly looked into the under desk bicycles several times now as I like the idea of getting a little extra light cardio in while I work. I've never taken rhe plunge though, as every one I have looked at had mixed reviews on quality and noise levels.

I can't believe you are so busy you can't take a quick trip outside in the woods with bike or by foot.

We have electric standing desks at work. Definitely love it as well.

I have a desk at work, but I also have to do a lot of fiekd work and walk a couple miles a day at work, so it's not something I really thought about. If it helps you then go for it

Never heard of of such a thing

Its not good to be sitting for a long period of time, or staring at a screen for hours on end. Set a timer, and every 30 or 45 minutes move away from the desk and walk around the house/office, do some jumping jacks, push ups, dips, sit ups, whatever for 3-5 minutes.
