Think standing desks are good? Walking desks take it to the next level! While standing desks reduce sedentary time, treadmill desks let you walk through meetings, emails, and everyday tasks.
Why Walking Desks Are So Good for You:
1. Active Calorie Burn: Unlike standing which burns 20-30 extra calories per hour, walking at just 1-2 mph while working can burn significantly more.
2. Enhanced Brain Function: Light walking increases blood flow to the brain which can potentially improve creativity and problem-solving abilities.
3. Mood Elevation: Walking releases endorphins which helps reduce work stress while boosting energy levels.
4. Multitask Movement: Get your daily steps in while answering emails or attending virtual meetings.

Pro Tip: Can't get a treadmill desk? Start with a standing desk and add walking breaks every hour. Even this simple change can make a significant difference in your daily activity level.
