Some advice
•
Be sure to place the treadmill pushed well under your desk
(approx. 30 cm).
•
Raise your desktop so high that the angles on the forearms pointing
slightly upward to relax your shoulders.
•
Don't hang or lean on your desk when you walk. Let your wrists
and your eyes control the direction of your body.
•
It is important not to walk too fast when you start using it to avoid
muscle soreness and strain. Gradually increase length and speed.
•
If you spend several hours on the treadmill, you may discover new
places with sore muscles, such as your back, hips and legs.
•
It may be enough with 15 minutes in the beginning and then
gradually increase the duration.
•
There are those who walk the entire working day on this treadmill,
while others just take a short walk when they feel they need to get
energized. Use it your way!
•
Be aware that you may feel a little light headed when you step off
the treadmill but the feeling passes after a few seconds.
•
Let your arms hang by your sides when you are only reading and
walk like you normally do when you don't need to use the
keyboard or mouse.
•
Most computer-related tasks are excellent fits to perform while
walking on this treadmill but it is usually more difficult to perform
tasks requiring precision work, like drawing.
If you find some tasks difficult to perform when walking, step on
the side rails and then continue to walk when the task is completed.
•
The easiest to start with tend to be reading or watching, while
typing takes a little more practice.
