I know two people who have done so. It “works” in the sense that you can indeed walk at about 1.5 MPH (a slow walk) while working. However, that’s only useful if you’re trying to lose weight and can’t do so another way.
Such slow movement has no cardiovascular benefit, so it’s pointless if you’re not trying to lose weight. Just use a sit/stand desk (and ideally, take breaks for exercise).
I recently looked into them and was put off by the price. So I bought a Cubii, which is an under desk elliptical. I’m only a few days in but so far it’s been solid.
I was concerned about work experience of my colleagues, because treadmill could be too loud, so instead of treadmill I'm using a standing board. It's not as good as treadmill, but it's much cheaper.
I do. It’s been enjoyable. It beats being completely sedentary if you don’t have other activities or exercise as part of your routine.
I generally do 30-60 mins of active walking a day, usually in between active tasks.
I felt it is difficult to concentrate. I use treadmill only while watching TV or some documentaries.
