Are those standing desk treadmills or under-desk spinning machines worth the money? I'm having a hard time getting to the gym and I thought I might have better luck getting my workout in if I combined it with my workday.

Absolutely worth it on the standing desk plus treadmill combo. I have two separate things, not an all in one which I like better. I can walk while doing training videos, while working on emails, reading through docs, etc. not going over 1.5 usually but before I know it I’ve walked 90 minutes or 2 hours. It’s great.

I would say no. I bought a standing desk and I thought I would use it every single day. I have literally used it a handful of times and that is it. My husband joks about how I bought yet anoter thing that I don't use.

Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?
