Walk And Work At The Same Time!!!!!!!

If you work at an office and spend the rest of your free time caught
in traffic then you might not have a lot of opportunities for exercise.
So Dr. James Levine, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic, decided to
build a combination workstation/treadmill to allow people to burn the
midnight oil and calories at the same time. His invention started to
attract attention and many people started creating there own treadmill
desks. Now a large company named Details has created a mass market
version of the desk.

The Walkstation is built for slower speeds(2 miles an hour maximum
speed) that allow you to walk and still be able to type at the same
time. There are multiple versions of the walkstation including one that
can be used as a walking desk or a sitting desk. Nearly 400 units have
been sold, many to large companies.

The price for one of these is $4,000 and they are sold in the US and Canada.
