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?
