Working from a treadmill desk doesn’t mean you have to give up your sense of fashion. Former Spice Girl and current entrepreneur Victoria Beckham proved as much when she tried out the treadmill desk at Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design.

In this tweet which she posted after the visit, she gushes over the genius concept of treadmill desks. She also includes a photo which shows she didn’t bother to change her high heels for a more traditional workout shoe! Living proof that you can have the best of both worlds.

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Here at Treadmill Desks Australia, we are already convinced of the health benefits that using a Treadmill Desk can bring. Your waistline, respiratory and cardio systems, and even your memory can all improve from just a short walk daily. And when you feel healthy, your output at work improves as well!

Don’t take it just from us though, all around the world people are noticing the benefits of Treadmill Desks. Amanda Hooton at the Sydney Morning Herald recently published an article detailing her experiences over a month of trying out a Treadmill Desk at work, which is available here.

She found that the Treadmill Desk helped her to sleep better, removed pain that she had been feeling in her lower back, and  gave her that great sense of post-workout satisfaction while at the office, instead of waiting until she could hit the gym.

Lose A Kilo A Week – How Many Calories Can You Burn on a Treadmill Desk?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Are you sick of feeling unhealthy while working at your desk job? Multiple scientific studies have shown the risk those of us who spend a lot of time sitting or lying down take. The chances of suffering from diabetes, heart disease and even death is increased if you lead a sedentary lifestyle.

Lose a kilogram a week by using a treadmill desk. It’s a simple, achievable, and easy goal.  

Depending on your personal circumstances, you need to burn around 700 calories a day to lose 1kg/week.

Treadmill Desk Manufacturers Trekdesk advise that, walking at 1mph with 0 incline, you can burn ~2.6 calories a minute. Up the incline to a relatively minor 5.0 and you will burn ~3.6 calories a minute.

So walking on the treadmill for 4-4.5hours/day at 0 incline or a little over 3 hours/day at 5 incline will help you lose a kilo a week; not to mention the ancillary benefits such as your back, and the amazed stares your co-workers will give you!

The BBC‘s also posted a new report on the practicality of walking on a treadmill as you work – and the news is great.

Are you currently using a Treadmill Desk during your workday? How’s it going for you?
