Computer Desks Are the New Gym Memberships

I spend a lot of time at my computer. To be more accurate, I spend a lot of time at computers. Plural. And as I look at more freelancing opportunities and writing gigs, I need to find a way to stay sharp. And maybe find a way to not die of atrophy.

I have found a solution. One that will keep me active, fit and stimulated. And I won't have to step away from my beloved computer either.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Walkstation.

Too bad my apartment is approximately the size of three shoeboxes. And my budget doesn't quite accommodate such a purchase ($4000?!). But I could probably pick up an ancient treadmill at a garage sale somewhere and balance a plank across it....

Check out Treadmill Desk and read about someone who made their own. It changed his life. Which depresses me. What has my desk done for me lately?

(The claim that I could lose 57 pounds in a year is a little alarming. I would die.)
