Stand up Desk Treadmills
The main question people ask themselves when contemplating the Stand up Desk Treadmill, is what benefits can I derive from using one? In one important word “Activity” There are numerous recommendations from health professionals and the surgeon general regarding this important health theme.
The Importance of Metabolism
When we are inactive for any extended period of time, the metabolism starts to slow down. The dictionary defines metabolism as: Biology, Physiology. the sum of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which its material substance is produced, maintained, and destroyed, and by which energy is made available. An energy deficit is almost a national if not a global problem in the techno world we live in. After sitting for extended periods, energy declines. Often we reach for a stimulant, coffee, donuts, something to help us energize.
Enter the Stand up Desk Treadmill
I like to walk and on occasion jog, but with a busy life style, I was definitely not even getting the minimum recommended by the Surgeon General, which is 5 miles a day. It sounds good but where does the time come from to do this? If it is winter time and the weather does not allow a walk it is even more difficult to get out and exercise. The treadmill desk does need a little more concentration, but after a while it becomes automatic, you are walking (at a pace you can handle) and working at your desk or station. Be safe and work gradually to a higher pace, especially if you have not exercised in a while. Take regular stretch and desk yoga breaks.
A possible obesity solution
Finding time to exercise is a problem for a lot of people. The combination of diet and exercise has been clinically shown to reduce weight and improve well being. The stand up desk treadmill can go a long way towards solving the problem of not enough time to exercise and also improving energy and well being as a result of more endorphins in our systems. As the exercise bug takes a hold, the need for unhealthy foods and beverages like diet sodas reduces.
