For people considering this, I recommend trying something inexpensive before going for one of the nice purpose built walking desk treadmills. The physiology of walking at 1 or 2 mph isn't the same [for everyone] as full speed walking, and some people will have problems as a result. Better to figure that out before you blow a bunch of money on it.

Yeah, that's not a bad idea. I started with a $150 cheapo Walmart treadmill that you could rig a potentiometer to in order to bypass the controls and make it slow enough.

All that said you absolutely get what you pay for, and it's much nicer to walk on higher end models.
