We have a community treadmill desk at Blekko, it's not at all uncomfortable to use. I ended up buying the same treadmill we got for home and find that walking at home while catching up on mail and what not is pretty easy.

Some things I've found;

* Walking in socks results in less foot pain than walking in shoes did.

* If you spend an hour watching TV while you walk you can at least write it off as exercise.

* iPads are great for reading (moves with you when you are holding it) but I've got a bluetooth keyboard on the desk if I want to type.

* If Caprica had chosen some other boogie man other than God it might have made it further as a show.



What treadmill model did you end up using?


Horizon T101, combined benefits of being more reasonably priced and necessary weight capacity.


What are you using for the desk surface? Looks like a good treadmill.


Trekdesk (amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Trek-TD-01-TrekDesk-Treadmill-Desk/dp/...) at home I just rest stuff on the control panel of the treadmill (the trek desk gives the treadmill a pretty large foot print)
