A treadmill desk is a computer workstation where the user walks on a treadmill while working at the desk. People who use a treadmill desk are generally concerned about having a more active lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Mothers have been passing down warnings to maintain good posture from generation to generation since time beyond remembrance, but with the advent of modern medicine, things have progressed even further. Doctors, nurses, and other healthcare practitioners have taken up the call, warning one and all that a life of long-term stagnation is ruinous to one’s physical health and well-being<\/a>, and not just in terms of simple posture. Continual immobility, whether it’s a consequence of one’s workplace duties or not, can lead to weakened upper body muscles, nerve damage, blood clots, and even heart disease and related complications, which can, of course, be fatal. Even so, the average office worker spends eight hours of each working day sitting behind a desk – that’s roughly four months of little to no movement!<\/p>\n

This type of sedentary work style doesn’t just promote physical and mental strain, it also hampers productivity. Happily, the treadmill desk<\/a> (which, as one might expect from the name, is a work surface attached to a treadmill) takes care of all these problems in one fell swoop. To help the reader learn more about these machines and to pick the best treadmill desk for their unique situation, a list of treadmill desk reviews can be found below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

How to choose a treadmill desk<\/h2>\n

Treadmill desks come in a variety of makes, models, features, and price points. These tend to be expensive and the price tends to be directly aligned with quality, noise level, and long-term daily-use-friendly ergonomics.<\/p>\n

How to choose a treadmill desk:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do some research to understand the features and price points available<\/li>\n
  2. Consider the room where the desk will be and determine the acceptable noise level and footprint<\/li>\n
  3. Decide if you want really good ergonomics or just a standard flat desk<\/li>\n
  4. Determine if you need an adjustable height desk so others can use it<\/li>\n
  5. Choose a desk that fits your criteria<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    LIFESPAN TR1200-DT7<\/h2>\n

    The final entrant on our list, the LifeSpan TR1200-DT7 seems more at home in an apartment building’s fitness center than in an office cubicle. This is no doubt a consequence of its group-use design and technological features; the DT7 straddles and bridges the gap between the utter functionality of a treadmill-only unit and the lush, corporate feel of a unit purpose-built for cubicle use. Still, this offering from Lifespan is a fine machine, the users of which can expect it to perform admirably. The LifeSpan TR1200-DT7 is made by LifeSpan<\/a>. \u00a0A closer examination follows.<\/p>\n
