How the heck do you actually read anything when you are walking along? It must give your eyes a real workout too! As for phone calls - I can imagine how you would sound on a business call and it would maybe not be the image you want to put across, what with the heavy breathing and all.. Practicalities aside, thanks for lightening up my day!! Michael I must admit this is a new one on me!

Walked a total of 400+ km. I change between walking/standing/sitting through the day. but when it comes to pixel precise work, I have to opt for standing. I recommend all to give it a crack, its by no means true exercise but it has slowly toned me legs up, more endurance I guess.

My dad insisted I walk when I studied. (I went to school under one of the toughest Indian school boards). Thus, when I was in my 10th grade, I had the roof/terrace of my home all to myself (grade 10 final end-of-term exams are VERY IMPORTANT - as important as Gr 12 exams in the U.S - seriously). Would you believe how slim I was that year? Some of my fondest memories are of that terrace - The quiet, the view of the sky, the muffled sounds of the street, the breeze in my hair.... aah, memories...

I was wondering if you still use yours and also how it is going for you. I found after the initial fun of it, I have lost a bit of interest and use it more as a standing desk lately. Which is still better then sitting all day. Thanks!

We used maybe 4 or 5 2 X 4's, and about a full sheet of 3/8ths thick plywood, with screws to hold it together. The shelves have backs to them so things won't fall into my watergarden. They look like two enclosed steps. I should mention we built it out of wood we had hanging around, but we always have scraps.
