I bought this. I use it every working day and I'll easily get a minimum of 10k steps a day on it. On good days I'll get over 20k. Well worth it in my opinion, so much better for you than sitting down all day!
Ah jeez very tempted. Getting more steps in while I work would be a game changer. Is it practical for doing like, typing and data entry tasks while you walk?
Do it! I've just managed to do 3km on my daily stand up meeting.
It's fine. I slow it down when I'm doing a lot of typing, and speed it up when I'm in meetings or doing more admin-style work. Obviously you don't need to be on it all the time too, you could use it as much as you want.
One caveat is that I get very hot doing it, and my colleagues mentioned that they get hot too. I have a tower fan near me that's on all the time. Not much of an issue for the next several months, but it was difficult during summer.
I am glad not to have a job that includes a great deal of meetings, I get to sweat and look like shit all day if I want. And I have a big balcony door right behind me for fresh air if I need cooling, so... Yeah I might have to get into one of these gizmos.
