Treadmill Desk
What sedentary lives we writers lead. When I heard about the treadmill desk, I decided to try it out. Here’s the update on how it’s working.
This is my treadmill desk
Here’s my setup. I bought a used treadmill and accidently found out the most important thing: the noise level of the treadmill. This one is very quiet, so you barely know it’s running. After I bought this, I tested others and found them to be very noisy; I got lucky without even knowing it. The wire shelving I used can be found at The Container Store. We removed the side-rails for it to fit under the shelving.
During the first four weeks, I walked 70 miles. That’s in addition to my regular exercise of walking, spinning, biking, stretching and Pilates. End result? Two pounds off. It’s the first time I’ve actually managed to lose weight in a long time.
I’m finding that I’m sharper mentally, especially in the mid-morning hours. By late afternoon, I’ve been more tired, but I expect that to get better.

That has got to be THE most creative setup I’ve ever seen! Good for you. The usual treadmill desk setups I’ve seen have the treadmill built into the floor. Major expensive. You have the same Dell case I have. Also, can’t help but notice the quilt on the wall. I’m an ex-quilter. Ok, I’ll quit snooping now.
Hello! what is the brand and make/model of your quiet treadmill? And based on the picture below, where is the keyboard?
