“I’m into my second week now and walking at a pretty slow, casual pace, about 1. 4 miles an hour, ” Neighmond writes. “When I first started, I thought I’d simply jump on the treadmill and be off walking all day while working. But it turns out it’s really hard to walk, talk, think and concentrate. ”

　　Last year, The New York Times reported on Salo, a Minnesota-based financial consulting company that tried a similar experiment with some of its employees. And so far, the results have been positive both for employee’s health and for the company’s financial bottom line: During the six months that Salo took part in a Mayo Clinic treadmill desk study, the firm experienced record earnings.

　　“Remarkable, ” Salo, director of operations Craig Dexheimer told NPR. “We didn’t even go to a gym. We just went to work!” Dexheimer says he has lost 25 pounds since switching to the treadmill desk.

　　You can buy a treadmill desk, which typically costs several hundred dollars. Or, if you’re in do-it-yourself mode, this website shows how to build your own treadmill desk for just $39, not including the cost of the treadmill.

　　Still, the doctor who led the Mayo Clinic study says you shouldn’t jump right into running a minimarathon each day at work.

　　“There’s a tendency to want to jump on the treadmill and walk for hours and hours a day, ”Dr. James Levine told NPR. “Don’t do that. Certainly, at the absolute maximum, do half-hour on, half an hour off, for two to three hours a day. ”(349W)
