At the lowest speed, it's been super easy to type and use the mouse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-writing-this-while-walking-on-a-treadmill#post-166470 Wed, 23 May 2012 14:42:08 +0000 mrbee 166470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweet T: Yah I got the fitbit to prepare for the treadmill desk. It's been great to use them together... I use the fitbit to track my steps, and the treadmill to increase my steps. Well that's the plan at least!</p> <p>6605 steps taken so far today... been standing more than walking today, just to ease into things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-writing-this-while-walking-on-a-treadmill#post-166468 Wed, 23 May 2012 14:41:41 +0000 heffalump 166468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neat! Now that's motivation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-writing-this-while-walking-on-a-treadmill#post-166467 Wed, 23 May 2012 14:41:36 +0000 sorrycharlie 166467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that is so cool!! I worry that I wouldn't be able to multitask though - for instance, walk and write. I'd either write something incorrectly, or fall, I think.</p> <p>I'm kind of clumsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-writing-this-while-walking-on-a-treadmill#post-166452 Wed, 23 May 2012 14:37:12 +0000 Sweet T 166452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's so awesome! I want one!</p> <p>@mrbee: Didn't you mention having a fitbit? How do you like it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-writing-this-while-walking-on-a-treadmill#post-166386 Wed, 23 May 2012 13:46:37 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 166386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woah, I may need to add that to my birthday wishlist!

I totally want one. I started treadmilling but it would be so much better if I could Hellobee AND walk at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-writing-this-while-walking-on-a-treadmill#post-166255 Wed, 23 May 2012 12:11:29 +0000 Alivoo01 166255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is pretty neat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-writing-this-while-walking-on-a-treadmill#post-166254 Wed, 23 May 2012 12:11:13 +0000 Mrs. Pen 166254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that's so awesome!

I've seen stand up desks in cubicles but I have never seen a treadmill desk. That is awesome. Do you plan on spending a certain amount of time/percentage of your work day at the treadmill desk? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-writing-this-while-walking-on-a-treadmill#post-166182 Wed, 23 May 2012 11:21:09 +0000 Running Elley 166182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How cool!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-writing-this-while-walking-on-a-treadmill#post-166180 Wed, 23 May 2012 11:18:33 +0000 chopsuey 166180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! Looks awesome :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-writing-this-while-walking-on-a-treadmill#post-166165 Wed, 23 May 2012 11:13:19 +0000 mrbee 166165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally bought and installed a treadmill desk! Here's what it looks like:<br /> <a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41PGo4KeHPL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41PGo4KeHPL._SL500_AA300_.jpg</a></p> <p>I walk while I type... so far today, I've walked 2154 steps on the treadmill. According to my pedometer I've walked 4246 steps in total so far, so I've roughly doubled my walking for the day by using a treadmill desk. I'd like to walk around 10-15k steps a day... normally I only hit that number on the weekends right now.</p> <p>Working on a treadmill desk is definitely a new experience, but so far it's been pretty easy. I often forget completely that I'm walking... but not for too long. I pause it pretty regularly and just stand on the non-moving treadmill... so that's a nice break. It's going to take some time to get fully used to this though.</p> <p>My goal is to get into better shape, and to lose about 25 pounds or so. I want to set a good example for our kids, and also be able to keep up with them! They are getting harder to wrangle as they get faster! </p>
