My last company a number of people had treadmills. The walker always looked like they were headed toward me on calls. Group Zooms became hilariously ominous as more people marched toward me in unison.

Can people really type quickly and accurately on a treadmill at their desk? I tried that last year, and saw the error rate in my documents explode.

Fun fact: both Linus and Wolfram have walking desks!

Wolfram said he didn't exercise much before age 40, but his wife convinced him to, and he's now resolved to not walk less than 10000 steps per day. He does his first few meetings of the day "in motion" whether walking or on a treadmill.

That's exactly what I did. I got a small treadmill, but I walked 8hrs on my first day and hurt my knee. Everything in moderation.

I have a walking pad under my desk and do at least a few miles every day. It’s great.

Stephen Wolfram was always correct.

I mean he is only one of the select few who have solved capitalism. So I would trust him over others.

They're not as expensive or annoying to deal with as I thought, either, assuming you already have a standing desk with a motor.
