Office Fitness Dual Purpose Walking Treadmill

I bought this treadmill from Amazon and it arrived today, whoppeeeee!!! It has to be one of the best purchases I've ever made. It's cheaper than an ordinary treadmill at £150 (British Pounds) and I am literally walking on it now as I type this text. It is designed just for walking and reaches a top speed of 4 miles per hour. I rarely write reviews on Amazon but as soon as I have finished writing this post I'll go over to Amazon to write a glowing review.
I spend a lot of time (most of my waking hours) on the computer because I work from home and in the last year I've noticed the detrimental affects of a sedentary lifestyle on my back and on my weight. I knew that if I could combine work with exercise I'd be onto a winner....and this nifty product is the key to my new non-sedentary lifestyle.
If you want to be more active while spending a lot of time on your computer or sitting down I'd highly recommend that you buy this product.
Here is the link on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Office-Fitness-Purpose-Walking-Treadmill/dp/B0094WTGAK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1354222029&sr=8-3


Product Description 
The Office Fitness Walking Treadmill offers a dual role at home or in the office. In it's traditional setting, designed to be used with handrail for a steady and effective indoor walking workout using the smooth, efficient and quiet 500w electric motor that offers a marked contrast to cheaper non-motorised models. In an office setting, treadmill usage as seen as increasingly effective alternative to being sedentary when combined with either a standing desk ( see Office Fitness Sit-Stand Electric Desk) or Laptop Stand. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19910888

Walking rather than prolonged sitting offers significant health benefits; considerable weight loss ( 200kCals/hr at 4mph), disease prevention, cardiovascular improvements. Studies show that walking can increase blood flow to the brain, helping improve your memory by as much as 15 percent in a six-month period. At the same time, walking on a treadmill promotes healthy restorative sleep patterns, which in turn decreases your stress levels.

Multi-function display ( Speed, Time, Distance and Calories Burned). The Office Fitness Dual mode is a purpose buit walking treadmill ( not a running machine), maximum speed 4mph which equates to a brisk walk requiring full arm swing. As with all Office Fitness products comes with one year warranty

Find Time For Exercise

Those who cannot find time for exercise, sooner or later will have to find time for illness.

This is a sad but true fact. Our bodies were designed for movement and if we don't get in the habit of regular exercise, sooner or later we will feel the detrimental effects of a sedentary lifestyle:

A sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity can contribute to or be a risk factor for:
  • Anxiety
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Mortality in elderly men by 30% and double the risk in elderly women
  • Deep vein thrombosis
  • Depression
  • Diabetes
  • Colon cancer
  • High blood pressure
  • Obesity
  • Osteoporosis
  • Lipid disorders
  • Kidney stones

It is never too late to get healthier. No matter how unhealthy you are now you can do something towards eating healthier and exercising  a little more, even if it is only a small change...small changes over time can lead to big results.

Get Back On Track As Soon As Possible


Rather than viewing a brief relapse back to inactivity as a failure, treat it as a challenge and try to get
back on track as soon as possible. -Jimmy Connors
