I saw this on Good Morning America today and it was sooooo cool! Who would have thought? They actually worked the numbers of you working an 8 hour day + walking at 1mp (the average for people) = An estimated 40 lbs per year! The doctor that created it noted that people are much more alert and active, thus creating a more productive employee. Here’s the company. Sign me up!
From ABC News -At least half of the 150 million Americans who go to work every day wind up sitting at a desk. This makes for increased absenteeism and decreased productivity. Walking is often recommended as a good antidote to sitting all day, but who has the time? Well, what if you could walk while you work at your desk? (full story)
Excellent! Sign me up too!
