The great minds at Steelcase are at it again. This time they’ve decided that we can hold down an office job yet still be healthy. How? Well with the brand new Walkstation.
The Walkstation is a workstation with an integrated treadmill. It’s height adjustable so when the temps don’t work out it’ll still fit the new employee. Steelcase and the Mayo Clinic’s James Levine, MD, PhD teamed up to create the Walkstation designed mainly for corporate work environments.
Take a look at what Levine estimates, “That users of the Walkstation have the potential to increase energy expenditure by 100 calories per hour when walking at a 1 mph rate. Thus, if obese individuals were to replace time spent sitting at the computer with 2-3 hours per day of walking computer time, and if other components of energy balance were constant, actual weight loss may result.”
Pretty cool idea I’d say. I’ll bet it’s a great stress buster too plus less neck pain from sitting (slouching all day). I seriously want one; just look at it:
