And if you really want to up your game a treadmill desk has been an amazing upgrade.

If I just live my typical WFH life I am usually hitting a dismal 2k steps a day. Doing two 45 min to an hour work sessions walking at the treadmill desk had me hitting 10k steps without having to devote any special extra time in my day to exercise.

Do you find it's difficult/impossible to type with a treadmill desk setup? That's my largest concern. Even when I'm not coding I spend a decent amount of time doing PRs, Slack, etc.

I haven’t had an issue with it but I’ve heard other people do depending on the speed they’re walking.

I actually find walking to help intensify my focus for coding if I’m deep in the flow of a problem. I find reading PRs while walking to actually be the more difficult thing vs coding.
