New Weight-Loss Focus: The Lean and the Restless - New York Times

In his office he has a treadmill in place of a desk. He got it last year when he saw the data from the study comparing lean people and obese ones.

“My computer is stationed over the treadmill,” he said. “I work at 0.7 miles an hour.”

this is cool. i made the decision two years ago, that when i’m privileged enough to have my own office AND get to select my own furniture in said office, that i would get a standing desk. i’ll have a barstool height chair there in case too. i’d probably have a smaller table, maybe a couch (depending on office size), for meetings (don’t want to be standing over people in meetings, well most meetings). but this is a great idea too. i think maybe a standing desk and a treadmill desk.

regardless i think it’s good to move while you work. when i’m studying i tend to walk around with my notes while i study, it makes studying seem more active and i don’t get burned out quite so easily as when i’m just sitting at a desk staring at pages for hours.
