i covered the treadmill desk before but…
The Treadmill Workstation - Engadget - www.engadget.com
ha engadget lists some activites to show the walking thing is just okay.
chopping wood (436 calories per hour) — hunting (360 cph) — sitting (76 cph) — sex-foreplay (104 cph) — sleeping (66 cph)
so sitting at your desk gives you 75% of the benefits of walking. i wonder if that is active sitting (proper posture, etc), maybe sitting on a swiss ball? haha, foreplay on gets you 4 more calories an hour than walking SLOWER THAN DIRT. is dirt slow?
btw, this is a neat little calculator for caloric burn
calculate what you burn in minutes doing various activities
