The Treadmill Desk has come to the fitness industry to help regular working people like you and me to get in shape. It's easy to make excuses for not exercising but there comes a point where you have to do it not only to look good but to improve your health. With this amazing exercise equipment you can work out while you do your work at home or something as simple as watching TV or using your computer.
A lot of people when they were young they liked to go to the gym to lift weights or do some cardio workout, but eventually work and family comes around, and there is no more time for exercise. Suddenly they found themself out of shape and started with health problems. They tried to go back to the gym but can't find the time to do it. Sounds familiar?, well this people have now the opportunity to get back in shape with this kind of exercise equipment, they can use it anytime of the day, without the need to leave their homes.
The treadmill desk was designed primarily for use in the office, people working there have to be at least 8 hours sitting at their desks. The doctors began recommending that every so often people rise from their seats and walked a bit around the office. In this way the people could avoid many illnesses and diseases.
The person responsible for carrying out this invention is Dr. James Levine from the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Levine's idea was that people who work in an office would replace the 8 hours spent sitting with a Treadmill Desk. People would walk slowly on the treadmill while doing their job. According to the studies of Dr. Levine, a person walking slowly one hour can burn about 100 extra calories, so imagine the amount of calories you can burn a day working on this treadmill instead of sitting.
This type of equipment is ideal for people who don't have time to go to a gym, for example, a housewife with children do not have much extra time, so going to a gym is almost impossible, but with a treadmill desk she can exercise without leaving home and while she do other things, another good example would be the elderly, for they it may be difficult to go out to a park to exercise, so this exercise equipment would be very helpful for them.
