SUPER TREADMILL SECRET #1

OK, want to see my Four super-secret technique for WANTING to use your treadmill desk at home (or even work – if your boss can’t see your screen)?

SUPER TREADMILL SECRET #2
And, for our first 15 callers only, I have prepared the all-encompassing master treadmill list, aptly entitled, 16 Healthy Reasons To Buy A Treadmill Desk. Here are a few snippets to let you know why celebrities, presidents, athletes and regular folk, and even you, should buy a treadmill:

* Keeps you off the couch (but not your psychiatrists couch, or the casting director’s couch), and you can still watch TV or work on your computer while exercising.


* Makes you a real smarty pants – like you aren’t already. Any neurologist moron (Wu CW, Chen YC, Yu L, Chen HI, Jen CJ, Huang AM, Tsai HJ, Chang YT, Kuo YM. Treadmill exercise counteracts the suppressive effects of peripheral lipopolysaccharide on hippocampal neurogenesis and learning and memory. J Neurochem. 2007 Dec;103(6):2471-81. Epub 2007 Oct 22.) knows that exercise stimulates the formation of neurons… like, duh, who doesn’t know that and blog about it in their spare time? But, did you know that those little connections, yeah synapses, get stronger when you work out. It is also increases, umm, what do you call it, umm, umm, oh yeah, memory. Works for me…


* Better sex life – healthy body = healthy libido. Yeah, I am now up to once a year, (well, in a good year that is). What a stud I be… and I owe it all to the 17.3 hours a day I spend on my treadmill desk.


* Live long and prosper – no that is not a Vulcan proverb, it is proven that people who are physically active simply live longer. Physical activity (and visiting certain online web sites) makes your heart work harder and get stronger. If you regularly exercise on your treadmill desk, you can also decrease your chance of heart disease by lowering your blood pressure and increasing that good HDL cholesterol. Yeah, I remember reading about the James Fixx, who wrote the book Running, died young, but I have always said how much younger would he have passed away if he wasn’t working out.

The rest of the reasons, below, are found at 16 Healthy Reasons To Buy A Treadmill Desk


* As Olivia Newton-John sang in her hit song, “Let’s get Cognitive”
* Lower your cholesterol without drugs (at least without prescription drugs)
* Help control of type 2 diabetes with Twinkies.

* Lower your blood pressure without dying!

* Weight control. You know that old adage, “Garbage in, garbage on (your hips),”

* Muscle strength without ‘roids. Annoy your dealer
* Bone strength we won’t have to see Sally Fields on TV anymore pushing drugs on old people
* Exercise promotes better night sleep. Works for me… I went from 12 hours a night …
* Stress management. I SAID STRESS MANAGEMENT, DID YOU HEAR ME?
* Tom Cruise was right – yelling at Oprah works.  I watch Oprah and yell at her for the entire hour. Makes me feel really good.

Now for the rest of us, those who savor compelling content, valuable information, insightful, umm, insights and more…


Alright now, so maybe those washboard abs your once had are morphing into a gelatinous, droopy, slightly bouncy mass like you used to see when you were at grandma’s house and she would walk out of the shower wearing that loose t-shirt.

Maybe you have that high school reunion on that cruise ship coming up and you don’t want your bright red bikini to be hidden by 4,000 or red wine remants that are now somehow hanging over that once tantalizing, enticing, snug-fitting, boy-attracting Spandex.


Maybe you were one of those “guys with thighs”

Maybe, you are in line for a promotion (or just trying to keep your job) so you have to stay late at work, while your boss spends 3 hours at lunch at the local gym, and you gotta keep up with your fitness and the workload that drib drops on your desk.


Or maybe, you are a compulsive Type-A personality that just thinks, talking on the phone, while texting, doing a Google search and writing a to-do list at the same time just isn’t enough.

Maybe you just are very uncoordinated, and want to work on those foot/mouse, hand/keyboard combination skills.


Wow, I just reread the above, and I think I can answer yes to almost every one – ohmigawd – ‘enuf about me…


Super secret bonus: start with a REALLY slow speed – umm, I know this by experience. If you want to start fast, be sure to keep some LARGE bandaids nearby, and, a phone with 911 on speed dial. And, as an additional bonus, I have included a few treadmill accident videos.


ONLINE TREADMILL DESK INFORMATION

So, since you stumbled upon this site, I can assume you are looking for an exercise treadmill desk? Call me a web psychic if you will, but I bet you are not sure what kind of treadmill to buy? Or if you should you go new or used treadmill? Allow me to share with you what I did with my DIY treadmilll desk. I first thought I would do whatevery body else has done all over America, and just stay in the rat race…

but then I thought, “Why be like everyone else?” I could have bought one of those very expensive Steelcase Walk Station treadmill desks, but I opted to build my own.  So, I did as I always do, I got out my scissors, stapler and tape, placed the only tools I have ever used on the floor and thought, “If I  build it, I will come… with the help of my magic construction pixies.” I remember when my 79 year old mother kicked me out of the house. She said, “You’re going to miss everything that I do for you: waking you up each morning, having your toothbrush ready with toothpaste already on it, having the sports page open (and underlining your favorite scores) when I serve you your eggs with your bib, prefolding your toilet paper, but most of all you are going miss the magic construction pixies.” “Yeah, fer sure,” I thought to myself, “they will always be there for me.” So, with my car window open as I was preparing to leave, I defiantly, but softly, said, “I won’t miss anything!” Then my mother reached in my car, buckled my seat belt, tapped my shoulder twice and said, “Drive safely, here is $40 for gas.” She then cleaned my windshield, and I drove off forward to park in the back garage, ready to now live in the studio apartment over it, fully knowing the magic construction pixies would follow me wherever I went. Much to my surprise, mom was right (she always is)  the magic construction pixies (distant tooth fairy cousins) didn’t arrive in the middle of the night and assemble my treadmill desk, so, I built it. Well, umm, err, I have a friend who is handy and he built it for me. I now call him my personal construction pixie, of course, I had him send his bill to my mom.
