The author, a car-less city-dweller, turned to using a treadmill under their standing desk after the pandemic lockdowns forced them to spend more time at home. They found that having a treadmill allowed them to burn calories while working, reduce pressure on their back, and feel better overall. The author recommends using the treadmill during informational meetings, simple tasks, and virtual dates with friends, but notes that it's essential to pace oneself and not overdo it. To make the most of a treadmill desk, the author suggests warning colleagues, wearing headphones, staying hydrated, marking the optimal placement, taking notes, wearing comfortable shoes, and using a portable model. Ultimately, the author found their treadmill desk to be life-changing and hopes others will benefit from this setup as well.
