> Break my concentration EVERY 20-30 minutes to move around for at least 2 minutes?

It will be a break just because it needs a conscious effort. But presumably if you build a routine, a habit, it will work by itself. You will be able to continue thinking your deep thoughts, while your body will transpose itself to a treadmill, do some movements there and then transpose itself back.

The tricky part is how to build an automatic routine and how to trigger it every 20 minutes without breaking the concentration.

Maybe an automatic height adjustable table could work?

Many desks have bluetooth these days and someone already built something like that: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/desk-remote-control/id15090377...

Ok, two questions: 1) can it be programmed to regularly change the height without user intervention? 2) what are the user experiences of using it this way?
