Yes, it is. But it's quite a lot more exercise than most humans are going to engage in.

I spent a few years walking several hours a day. I was unemployed and homeless at the time.

It was very beneficial to my health, but I hesitate to "recommend" it because I know what most people will tell me: they can't spend that kind of time walking every day, even if it could potentially save their life.

you can install a treadmill under a standing desk and walk while you work.

I've tried this and for usual tasks it's fine but for tasks that require deep concentration it was inhibiting cognition

That was exactly my experience too. Programming + standing was neigh impossible.

It's incredibly distracting, I couldn't imagine trying to work on a treadmill, I can't even manage to play turn based RPGs on the treadmill on the lowest setting. The only treadmill activities that have worked for me are TV and podcasts.
