It enables you to walk and work at the same time during the day on a treadmill with a connecting sit stand desk, enabling you to considerably enhance your activity level without taking time away from your hectic work schedule.

If you don't have a standing desk, there is also the choice to buy both desk and treadmill associated with each other as various companies offer packages for both items that are often cheaper in price than buying both products individually.
