A treadmill desk allows you to walk slowly while you work. Research at the Mayo Clinic and other places shows that not only do you burn extra calories, but you are more productive! If you walk 1 mph for 6 hours you burn an extra 600 calories a day - enough to lose an additional pound a week!

Standing Desk Burns Calories
Standing desks burn a lot of calories. You can build them easily for your treadmill (the best standing desk) or you can put your laptop on the counter while working.
