My job keeps me glued to my desk reading and typing, and strict productivity rules make movement breaks next to impossible. My doctor says I need to get active for my health and weight. Has anyone tried an under-desk treadmill or a pedal exerciser? Which one did you prefer? I'm mostly worried about whether it’s tough to walk and type at the same time.

This is going to sound dumb, but I like standing desks/treadmill desks when I'm doing something I don't have to think too hard about. But when something requires real brain power, I need to sit down.

Personally, I'd pick a treadmill. Real walking/steps. I did 2 minutes of research once on the pedal devices and they didn't seem to have as much of a benefit.

I actually preferred the pedal exerciser because it was less distracting during heavy typing days. The treadmill was great for meetings or reading emails, but if I was doing detailed spreadsheets or writing reports, I felt less productive. The pedals were easier to multitask with.
