A brilliant way to exercise

Just as companies who treat their employees well do well financially, this is a brilliant way for employers in this country to take a massive one-time cost on board, while they will see the benefits in the end.

If I could teach and do this, I totally would, but I think the special education kids I service (almost all of whom have some attentional difficulty) would be slightly distracted by me walking on a treadmill.

If I worked in a cubicle however, I would love this idea. I've often thought about putting one in front of my television, and hooking it up to a power-converter for the tv when the Sox are playing a game. I'd walk like 10 miles a week during the baseball season.

For some of us people who will NEVER be morning people, no matter how long we get up early, this is a great solution. Moreover, it's better than paying a membership to a nasty gym where you have to deal with lockers, other people staring at your ass, and not to mention...their sweat leftover on machines. I'll never understand gym people. *Icky*

I hope more companies allow employees to take advantage of this product, while not forcing it on some of the old time, fat ones, because they could literally die of a heart attack and that wouldn't be good for liability. But, each new employee should be heavily encouraged to utilize this product to get some good exercise, and there should also be a way to get some rest time built in. I love this idea, biut I know I couldn't walk ALL day...oy. Least not at first for sure.
