Whaaaa???... Can I burn calories while Blogging?...

How many hours are we spending in front of the computer writing, blogging, emailing, making appointments, researching or marketing? Just come up with a number... 4-5 hours per day?
I know I do. As for the rest of 4-5 hours I spend running around keeping my appointments, meeting with prospective clients, showing properties and all the rest we do in our profession.
Sounds familiar?... Well, but still the hours we spend in front of the computer ( 4-5 hours/day x 6 days/week = @30 hours --- that's is 30 miles per week --- ) is a real problem for our health.

Considering that a slow walking on the treadmill is equivalent of 1mile/hour ...what are we getting at the end? 4-5 miles per day GREAT!
So, can I burn calories while blogging! Whaaaa??? ...You heard right!
Dr. James Levine of the Mayo Clinic came up with the idea of a "Treadmill Desk". The idea is to work out on the treadmill while using the board build in the treadmill... The "Treadmill Desk" can be anything that feed your needs, including the computer screen and board.
What is the whole idea about using the treadmill? ... Going on with your daily business routine while walking your daily walk... Walk the walk and talk the talk the talk!... or write, chat and email... while walking slowly, chopping down your calories.
I am sure that by now some of you already saying: " Well, no thank you!... why should I do that?... when I can spend few hours at the gym instead and just enjoy my coffee, my comfy chair in front of my computer and not be bothered."
It all depends on who you are. If your life style doesn't interfere with your age, weight or medical condition than I guess It's OK. But I believe that we all are affected in a way or other by the stress and sedentary side effects.
Wouldn't be great to get your 4-5 miles per day of walking while working on your computer?... blooging could become our ticket to healthier, funnier longer life.


What can be better than... Burning calories while blogging???

Arina,

The idea is wonderful. I have also heard you should pace or lift small weights while talkiing on the phone. I think the idea is to just do movement and not sit doing nothing. If you think about it there are probably several exercises you could do at your desk. Great Post!

Arina - Well this sure beats my age-old ways of doing sets of 40 push-ups in between comments:-)

Arina, great idea -- though I'd prefer the bicycling version.  Blogging does make one a bit too sedentary sometimes.

I have a treadmill, and I have to hold on even when I go slow, I dont know if I could handle this!  But I would love to try.  Just cant walk and chew gum...or blog...

There's a blog run by a doctor that has been following this discovery for the last few years... the treadmill/desk approach has helped quite a few people shed pounds, improve their heart and reap the secondary benefits that exercise provides. I've been trying to rig a tray to my stepper, but with poor results... but- one of these days! :-)

Wow! That sounds just up my alley. One would have to multi-task to accomplish it, but most of us could handle that! What a great idea!!!!

Arina, I loved this "find." I don't need to lose weight but I get tired of sitting so much as I do too spend a lot of time at the computer and would love to be able to get things done while moving :) I love it!

Arina, now I have seen everything, The treadmill desk. I think I want to move to another planet. Where are the normal people anymore?  : ) Well it is a good use for those at home treadmills that are gathering dust in the garage.

I still think it is funny they call it the Mayo Clinic lol, but this is a great idea. I kind of like the idea of a bike a little better though. I walk alot as it is kind of like to change things a little ;-)
