I tried a treadmill desk for 30 days

Yup. A treadmill desk. This is my story.

It all started when we moved from downtown Toronto to the suburbs and my daily PLUMMETED. I took about 2,000 less steps per day!

I decided to try a treadmill desk to get my steps back up and documented my experience for this video.

I'm just a middle-aged guy telling a very middle-age story.

PS — My standing desk is a GeekDesk V2 but I don't believe it's for sale any longer. I got it like 10 years ago.

This was such a normal, reasonable, honest video. I don’t feel like I’m being sold anything or trying to be convinced of something. Very nice

I initially mistook you for a renowned YouTuber, given the exceptional quality of your videos. They're truly impressive! Keep up the fantastic work!

I've had the maksone treadmill for about 6 months now. In the beginning i couldnt really function while walking on it. I realized that i just had my speed set way too high. I set it to a very casual walk, and now i don't even notice walking anymore in the morning. I drink my coffee and then set up my treadmill and walk from 8-noon every day. I recommend buying indoor treadmill only shoes, so you dont ruin all your socks. I get about 7k steps on it daily =) sometimes when i do difficult tasks that require full concentration i have to stop the treadmill - you know when you have to turn down the car volume so you can see while parking ;D

dude!! you're really good at making videos. i randomly came across this when doing research on portable treadmills and i'm so glad i did, this is great. love the way this video was produced!

I live my under desk treadmill. Mine was under $200. And has more speed then I need. In a month having it I have dropped 5lbs and walk for two 1 hour sessions a day while working. I have no issues doing email, meetings and other tasks.

The information that you can't code on it is everything I needed, thank you

Wow, I gotta say.. the quality of this video is very high-end feeling. Love the editing.. the light jokes and the humor. Very well done!

The first few weeks were rough as I managed to get thrown off a few times. I found that once I got used to walking at my desk, I was actually more zoned in when I wrote code. Part of that is the movement keeping my ADHD in check, but I honestly enjoyed it. It's a lot harder to keep at it now that I am in a hybrid working situation.

What a great and honest video. Found it searching for home treadmill options, this definitely deserves more views out there.

Man, you're good at making videos. Totally feel ya on the walking commute thing. Keep making more vids! They're enjoying to watch. I can totally relate to this one!

[mananyadav]

Thank you so much for making this video. The videography and the content is great. Keep up the good work👍

[contanimationnation]

Very reasonable overview my friend, thank you.

I just got one about a month ago and do 4 to 5 miles per day on it while working. Game changer for me. I never used to sit but this makes standing feel like sitting now.

This is best quality content/production I've seen at this sub count. Here's another sub!

[Dream-bcel]

How the hell do you only 745 subs with this production quality

Hey Steve! I love the content you're making! It's just transparent and honest! Thank you for sharing your review and opinion about the underdesk treadmill!!

[bentonpalermo]

Great video! informative and honest. Hit all the points I was curious about. I thought I’d have to watch a few videos to make a decision but this one took the cake !
