Inactivity is the main enemy of office work

According to WHO, more than 60% of office workers in the world do not have a sufficient level of physical activity. A sedentary lifestyle is directly linked to the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, obesity and problems with the musculoskeletal system. This is especially noticeable in the IT sector, where work at a computer lasts 8–10 hours a day.

It's no surprise that height-adjustable desks and accessories have been growing in popularity in recent years. One such solution is the 2-in-1 treadmill that can be placed directly under the desk.

What is a 2-in-1 treadmill?

This is a compact exercise machine designed specifically for home and office use. It has two modes:

• walking at low speed while working at a computer;

• full-fledged running in your free time for cardio training.

The main difference from classic exercise machines is the low noise level and the thin platform that easily fits under a height-adjustable desk . This allows you to combine work tasks with physical activity without interruption.

Study: The effect of walking while working

Over 2,000 office workers participated in the large-scale project "Stand Up to Work" (2018) . The results showed:

• users of treadmills under desks increased their physical activity levels by 65% ;

• 47% noted that they felt less tired at the end of the day;

• Concentration on tasks increased by 30%.

Harvard Health also provides similar data: even 30 minutes of easy walking during work contributes to better memory and speed of thinking.

Real-world cases: how companies integrate treadmills

• An IT company in Warsaw equipped an area with adjustable desks and 2-in-1 treadmills for its developers. In half a year, the number of sick days among employees decreased by 18% , and job satisfaction increased by 25% according to an internal survey.

• At the American startup Buffer, several top managers have publicly shared their experiences working on treadmill desks, noting that it helped them “beat afternoon drowsiness” and increase productivity.

Advantages of a treadmill under the desk

1. Health — reduced risk of obesity and back problems.

2. Productivity - work and training in parallel, without wasting time.

3. Space saving - one track replaces a separate exercise machine.

4. Anti-stress - while walking, cortisol levels decrease.
