    Anyone have any experiences with an under desk treadmill / walking pad?

    I have a standing desk. It can lower too, but I always keep it in standing position. There are several times throughout the course of a workday where I could easily be walking while doing whatever the hell it is I do. So I'm interested in a little treadmill aka walking pad to put down for me to walk on (slowly).

    Looks like the premium brand is Lifespan, but they are either all sold out or no longer sell the product at all. (And even if they weren't sold out, there's no way I'm spending $2K+ on one.) WalkingPad seems like an ok brand, but I don't know. All other brands I can find look like cheap knockoffs of those two brands that will die one day after the return window.

    I don't really know anything about these. Seems like they were more popular at the beginning of my the lockdown than they are now. Don't know if that's because people have moved on from it as a topic of discussion, or if they all suck ass so people don't even buy them anymore.

    Any knowledge or experience with these would be appreciated.

    Many hamster owners have reported instances of their pets getting their feet or tails caught in the wheel, resulting in cuts, sprains, or even amputations. These incidents can be traumatizing for both the hamster and the owner.

    An injury of this sort on the job, could hurt your game with the ladies.

    Looks similar to the $30k treadmill my well-off German buddy has. No, it’s not you. But I’m seeing a pattern.

    How are you going to stand up straight if it’s under your desk ?

    Your first mistake is to have a German buddy.
