Comment on Your Office Chair Is Killing You

I can't believe that some ergonomics researchers are actually endorsing my crazy idea of setting up a treadmill and walking while working.

Maybe I have to try that now. It's a pity that treadmills are so pricey.

Incidentally, the ability to move around in different positions while reading is a major reason I bought the iPad.

I find my spine tends to be in a C shape more while using the iPad, unless I am lying down.

I am going to experiment with a twist board and an elliptical trainer with standing desks. Starting today, with the desks.

You can often find great bargains on used exercise equipment, as it's often bought and then rarely used. Check craigslist.

What about one of these instead of a treadmill?

The same company also makes a compact elliptical.

its impossible to cheat while standing on a treadmill, but those things you can just stop.

I'd call the ability to "cheat" a plus.
