I’ve thought about getting a Wii, with a balance board, for a bit of fun and exercise (and to steer the Roomba). Maybe I should get a treadmill for my computer desk instead.

At Salo LLC, a staffing firm in Minneapolis, a dozen desks were outfitted with treadmills and adjustable countertops. According to an article in Downtown Journal, revenues have gone up and the participating employees have lost weight. I’ll bet the meetings are shorter too.

There are plenty of times during the day that I could walk and work at the same time, and maybe it would help beat that afternoon slump as well.
