Treadmill recommendations

[Sgt Beavis]

Hi fellas,

Last month I assembled a stand up desk with the intention of eventually turning it into a treadmill desk. My research suggests that walking on a treadmill desk will burn up to 200 calories an hour. People that I have spoken to state that they have been losing about 2lbs a week with 8 hours of walking each day.

So now I'm looking for a decent treadmill (new or used) that will fit under my desk. I can redneck engineer it if needed to make it fit my needs. I would prefer it to have a fairly small control panel.

Do any of you have recommendations? Attached is a photo of the desk I'm using..

WTF...walking on a treadmill for 8hrs straight???
Talk about some sore ass feet!

I'd rather just run for 1 hour, but that's one way to be more useful. The blood flow may help too.

Depends on the shoe. I used to march like that with an 60lbs ruck sack. Of course I didn't do it everyday. However there are folks that do it everyday with no issues. I guess the shoes matter..

I'm already on my feet a lot more than 8 hours a day with this stand up desk. I might as well start burning some calories.

I really hate running, but walking doesn't bother me a bit. I'm at this desk all day anyways, so I might as well get the most out of it.
