Treadmill Workstation

As if going to the office and going to the gym weren't torturous enough on their own, Dr. James Levine of the Mayo Clinic has combined these events by  designing a cubicle that replaces the traditionally lopsided rolling office chair with a treadmill.  Apparently there's some concern that sitting on our duffs all day might not be healthy. Who knew?

I certainly could benefit from eight hours of walking a day, but you'll only catch me on one of these if I can ditch my pumps and start wearing sweats and trainers to the office.

Levine's design is not yet commercially available; but at an estimated $1,000 a station, I don't expect it will be long before these start showing up in the offices of trendy executives. - [Star C. Foster]
