Ever wonder how you can build a treadmill desk so you can workout WHILE you work? I have always been fascinated by the idea of treadmill desks. In my opinion, I feel like it should be an option for a desk in every workplace.
Sure, the expense of a treadmill could be costly at first but wouldn’t the cost of improving employees health lower the cost of costly medical bills in the future? Anyways…

What do you think about the idea of having a treadmill desk?
It’s actually a dream of mine that when I can quit my day job, and work from home, writing books, that I would have a treadmill desk. I get so antsy sitting at work. 🙁
haha I love it! Our dreams are very similar 🙂
