This is why I've prematurely moved to the next trend, the stop-start-jog-walk-stand-sprint-walk-jog office desk treadmill cycle. The cycle is meant to simulate our caveman activity cycle, with a lot of walking, jogging, some waiting, and the occasional sprint from predators and towards pray. Sometimes I spill my coffee on myself when the treadmill suddenly ramps up from a walk or a stand-still to a sprint, but research shows[1] that things like spilling coffee on yourself induces a slight stress response. Which is great, since I need some authentic stress variables in order to simulate some of the stressors of my hunter-gatherer heritage.

[1] TBA; this trend is too underground right now. The research will follow soon.

Even treadmill desks are coming under fire now... it seems you just can't win.
