A Walking Machine Desk Can Improve Your Work Productivity<br /><br />Integrating walking into your day is an excellent way to add exercise to your day without sacrificing any time. Moreover, interspersing walking with your work can boost productivity.<br /><br />The Poltrock's encourages movement with games, walking meetings and even treadmill desks. The company has observed that employees are more motivated and are more productive.<br /><br />Health Benefits<br /><br />Doctors suggest that you walk at least 10,000 steps per day to remain healthy. However many people find it difficult to fit in enough exercise during the workday. A treadmill desk can help you meet your fitness goals and remain healthy by walking while working. Some treadmills are designed to fit under desks and others are built into a workstation that allows you to sit while walking.<br /><br />Certain studies have shown that treadmill desks improves health outcomes, such as weight loss and reduced cholesterol and triglycerides. The standing desks have also proven to reduce the risk of sitting for long periods of time.<br /><br />A treadmill desk can make you feel more active and productive during the workday however, be aware of doing it too much. If you sit on a treadmill at your desk for too long, you could be suffering from back, neck or shoulder pain. You should also avoid doing repetitive tasks while you're walking, such as typing.<br /><br /><br /><br />Raegan Poltrock is a client strategy assistant at the advertising agency Attentive. She uses a treadmill and is more active throughout the day. She started using the desk about one year ago and now walks between two and four hours on her treadmill for 10 to 20 miles daily. She says her work has improved as a result of her increased energy. Levine and his team from the Minneapolis-based Salo consulting firm recently conducted a study that yielded similar results. They studied 18 employees who rotated on and off a treadmill desk for six months, walking approximately three hours per day. They found that cholesterol decreased and that employees were more productive than employees who used a conventional desk.<br /><br />Ergonomics<br /><br />Doctors suggest that you walk at least 10,000 steps per day to remain healthy. However, juggling <a href="https://www.hometreadmills.uk/categories/under-desk-treadmills">Home Tread Mills UK</a> , work and other obligations can make it difficult to find time. A treadmill desk can help you to stay fit without sacrificing your productivity. It's important to do some research into the ergonomics of treadmill desks prior buying one. Incorrect use can lead to back, neck and wrist discomfort.<br /><br />In general, treadmill desks are designed to offer ergonomic benefits by allowing users to change postures frequently. By shifting between sitting and standing you'll be more active and lower your risk of developing health issues that last a long time such as obesity and high blood pressure. However, if you're going to utilize a treadmill desk, make sure that it's designed for use in offices and make sure you adjust your computer monitor to the proper height.<br /><br />The ergonomics of treadmill desks with an incline feature are particularly problematic. The NordicTrack treadmill desk lets you adjust your treadmill to an inclined setting, but does not offer a keyboard tray or monitor arms. You'll need to hunch forward over your keyboard and monitor which could cause wrist strain and increase the risk of repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome.<br /><br />The iMovR SteadyType desk, on the other hand, has an integrated keyboard tray that allows you to assume the proper ergonomic position when typing. This reduces strain on the neck shoulders, neck, and back while reducing pressure on your wrist. It's also more stable than other desks with adjustable heights, but two legs.<br /><br />If you're a beginner begin with a small amount and gradually increase your time on the treadmill desk to 20 or 30 minutes per day. It can be difficult to transition to typing and walking from a comfortable, supportive chair, so it's essential to start slowly and increase your endurance. Once you have developed endurance, you can increase the duration and speed of your walking workouts.<br /><br />Cost<br /><br />The walking treadmill desk blends an office workstation that is standard with a small treadmill. It's a great choice for those who want to exercise more during their lives, but don't always make it to the gym. The desk is designed to be comfortable and can support a laptop of any size. It's also a little less than standard treadmills and can be used as a desk without the treadmill attached. Walkolution treadmills are also whisper quiet and can be used in libraries or open offices without causing distraction to other users. They also require less maintenance compared to traditional treadmills. Find out more about them here.<br /><br />
