Benefits of Walking Desks

Focus

Unlike bikes & steppers (manual devices), treadmills (electric devices) move you (just keep up). This satisfy the mind jitters. Its extremely valuable for ADHD.

Energy

Moving keeps blood and endorphins pumping. It keeps you alert and on task all day. Oxygen and endorphins help not just with energy, but focus. You'll need less caffeine.

Health

Calories and heart-rate. At my best, I've clocked 320 active zone minutes (Fitbit) in a day. That's 5.3 hrs of gym time. This eliminates the gym, saving time and money. At my worst, I clock the minimum-recommend 10k steps. Further, your posture is ideal while walking, better than sitting and standing.
