The Benefits
Health & Wellness Benefits of StepDeskTM
StepDesk promotes low energy expenditure by enabling you to walk up to 2 mph while working. This pace effortlessly burns calories and does not interfere with work activities such as typing on a laptop computer, talking on the phone, surfing the web, or reading.
Exchange a few hours of sedentary chair time for "walk-work" time and realize the many benefits that StepDesk has to offer. Use the StepDesk Calorie Calculator to see how many calories you could burn.
Control weight or shed unwanted pounds:
- Burn approximately 100 calories per hour by work-walking at 1 mph
- Work-walking at 2 mph for one hour will burn about 200 calories
- Work-walking 2 mph for four hours a day could amount to a loss of more than 50 pounds a year!
