Hi all, I’m in a mtg heavy culture and realized I wasn’t getting much movement btwn WFH and back-to-back calls. So I got a minimalist treadmill with a collapsible bar and wheels for easy portability. I don’t have the space for a fancy standing desk but found a compact, adjustable height one with lockable wheels. I do my most focused work on two monitors at my desk (ie dinner table) and hop on the treadmill for check-ins and some strategy calls. It’s made a huge difference in focus and mood! 🏃🏻‍♀️👩🏻‍💻

I did the same and it’s great. I didn’t get a desk though just a strap on laptop stand that I attached to the treadmill.

Complete setup: I’m 5’3” and using a laptop raiser keeps the screen perfectly eye level for me. If you are taller you will need a higher or adjustable laptop raiser. I use a wireless keyboard and mouse. Alternating walking and sitting meetings is a game changer!

And here’s the link to the desk I’m using for it - the treadmill fits perfectly underneath: Hadulcet Mobile Standing Desk, Rolling Table Adjustable Computer Desk, Stand Up Laptop Desk Mobile Workstation for Home Office Classroom with Wheels, 31.49 x 23.6 in Black … https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LK6DJYP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_Q9KDYQW8KZ9A02VEMEX0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I need advice from younger 🐠 who are closer to my son’s age than I am. He’s finishing up his 1st year in college and he’s gained the Freshman 15+. He plays a college sport, so he’s getting some activity, but with classes a hybrid of in-person and online, he’s not as active as usual and I think he’s enjoying unlimited food on his dining plan. I’ve heard jokes about the Freshman 15, but not seen how this plays out. Is this common? Do most people lose it when they adjust to college?
