I've been reading a LOT of articles lately on how unhealthy it is having a desk job (which I have) and sitting for extended periods every day (which I do) and how it increases your risk of diabetes and other health issues. I have been concerned about that for quite some time now and I decided to do something about it. I made an investment in my health by purchasing a DeskCycle - an exercise bike that fits neatly under your desk. It has magnetic resistance and sounds like you can even achieve a cardio workout with this thing. (Although if I intend to get sweaty at work, my coworkers would probably appreciate it if I'd save that for the end of the day.) It should be here and ready to put to use by Thursday. I'll keep you all posted on what I think... or if you have one, I'd like to know what YOU think.

This sounds like a real adventure in the making, yes please keep us posted. I think we may have the story line for a new sitcom! Just joking with ya, Ayngel. I too am one of those desk jockeys - when I was one of those guys who did more of the physical labor stuff, all I could think about was some day to get a cushy desk job. Then I got a cushy desk job and I think I liked it better when my work was "in the trenches."

Cool idea - they have those desks attached to a treadmill where you stand and walk at like 2mph while you work.

I think that's a great idea. Definitely keep us posted on how it works. I too sit for hours in front of my computer and might have to get one of those.
