Are the benefits of a treadmill desk worth it? do you eventually adapt to having to walk and work?
>inb4 why
sedentary lifestyle is not really that good for you plus you have the benefits of improved blood flow and higher cals burned per day
>but why would I want to burn more cals!
because that means you can eat more thus getting more protein and other vital nutrients into your diet which can help weightlifting
>but my gains
wouldn't improved cardiovascular health and posture actually INCREASE gains?

theyre good, i have the version that has a steering wheel and some wheels under it, so i can drive down the road to buy some groceries while finishing my work and exercise at the same time
All I know about them is that Linus used to have one and now he doesn't. I can't imagine that it's easy to type at high speed while you're walking. It seems like it would reduce your productivity, but I don't know.
I've heard people rave about standing desks, though. Specifically the adjustable ones that can switch between being a standing desk and being a regular desk. To me switching between sitting and standing periodically seems like it could easily be comfier than sitting all the time. I plan to try one eventually, but I don't have a job right now.

I've read multiple studies on how being active increases life span and reduces aging as well as having many other positive effects on your body.
But I wanna know what people here have felt about it especially since the desks are fucking expensive
Humans evolved to get about 6-12 hours of exercise a day, take that for what you will.

well linus is out of shape and obviously doesnt care about his health past memes so his opinion is discarded.
>standing desk
All I know about standing all day (worked where I was required to stand all day) sucks ass unless youre moving around too

I have also worked at a job where I was on my feet all the time, not uncommonly for 10+ hour shifts, and standing in one place for maybe half of that time. It sucks, but it only starts to suck after a few hours once you're acclimated to it. If you could switch positions once an hour, I think it would be pretty nice.
I had an adjustable standing desk at my old job. I think I was the only one who tried to use it. Realized how weak my back was after standing for a couple hours. Was useful though since I've developed some tolerance for it and I've gone to standing room only ballet and opera shows since they're so cheap.
here's something I read on Forbes

Im seriously thinking about getting one of these seems like a great way to improve your lifespan and quality of life.I honestly can't wait until I have a child so I can train that child to be an Übermensch from day 1
