I have this one but I use it to keep my ankles moving more than steps. I use it when thinking or in meetings, etc. It makes it easy to get a little bit of movement in while doing other things. Not sure of the actual health benefits.

As long as you keep the wheels and metal platform clean. Otherwise the dirt and grit makes it have a squeek.

I bought the Versadesk treadmill. It folds up in half and can slide under a bed. It hasn’t arrived yet but hoping it can keep me moving for all the steps I’m missing out on while commuting.

A little nervous about the reviews tbh but I get $500 a year for healthy rewards and I got it on sale for $509 so I’m not concerned. I’m not anywhere near the weight limit but my husband for example probably couldn’t use it bc he’s over 200lbs. Honestly if it gets me an extra 2k steps I’d be happy. Most weeks I don’t leave the house from Monday afternoon until Friday. It’s terrible but I don’t feel safe walking in the dark at night after bedtime so this was my best option.

My husband just got a similar one (brand is DeskCycle) for me as Christmas gift. After 3 days’ using it under my desk, I like it.

Why don’t you get a small treadmill? Or a spin bike?

I live in a relatively old & smaller apartment. So 1. Space constraint 2. The walls are super thin, i don't want my neighbor below to be annoyed . Thought this will fit in

I love mine!! It just moves sometimes even on the mat. With some body adjusting it is just fine. I bought a Cubiijr1.

I had a divorce mediation last week. The client wasn’t thrilled with the results (is anyone after mediation?) but we left with the two things she wanted: the house and her pension. She thanked me. My office sent the bill a few days later, and client wrote my boss a very long, angry email claiming I gave her incompetent representation. My boss backed me 100%, but I haven’t been practicing very long, so it really stung. Anyone have advice on dealing with self doubt in these situations?

A founding partner who comes in once a week usually likes when we check in with him and just chat for a couple of minutes.

The interview happened last month first week and documentation process also completed. They have given a verbal offer, but no offer letter as there are still doing some audit and compliance on the earlier employments. They have yet not reverted. What should be done in this scenario. Is this a normal thing in Accenture where they take an inconsiderable amount of time for small things too
