If you must be at a computer for work, getting a standing desk with a walking pad underneath is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

Walking is good for your body and good for your mind. Obviously walking barefoot outside is ideal, and you should still take breaks to do this and reset your eyes, but the standing desk/walking pad combo is a game changer.

You get used to typing while walking pretty quickly, but be careful at first so you don’t eat shit. During meetings it’s great to keep you engaged and help you think.

Plus, if your name is Walker, whenever someone in a meeting asks “are you walking?” you get to say “well, I am a Walker, after all” every single time. Everyone loves a good dad joke.

I concur, I've been doing this for a few years now. Highly recommended.

I've had a standing desk for years now. One of my best purchases! Havent gone the route of getting a treadmill beneath it yet...Maybe one day. Doesnt seem like something that would lend itself to productive focused work but meetings or admin work maybe?

I bought one, but haven't put it together yet. I think you just motivated me to do so

I'm going to start standing more while working by the desk this year.

If you like the feel if walking outside barefoot...go for it. If you believe walking barefoot has magical health benefits...that's total b.s. https://skeptoid.com/episodes/611

I did this for a while but stopped in favor of just going for a midmorning/midafternoon walk outside
