Treadmill Desk: Exercise While You Work
Try a Treadmill Desk for Easy Desk Exercise
Walking is a low-impact aerobic activity that just about anyone can do, and it offers a variety of important health benefits. But too many of us spend more time at a desk than walking outside. So what if you could walk and work at the same time? A treadmill desk can help you do it. Whether you already own a treadmill and want to add a desk to it, or whether you're looking for an integrated treadmill with a laptop stand, this page can help you see the options available with treadmill desks for your computer. You'll be walking while you work in no time!

TrekDesk Treadmill Desk - Use this desk with your existing treadmill
If you've already invested in a treadmill that you like, you probably don't want to rush out and spend hundreds more on a new one with a laptop stand. With the TrekDesk, you won't have to. This stand-up desk is designed to work with most treadmills. It provides plenty of room for your computer, phone, office files, coffee mug and other desktop supplies, and can be adjusted to work for users between 5 foot, 4 inches tall to 6 foot, 4 inches tall. This is a great option if you already own a treadmill and would like to be able to use it while you work.
