Day one with my treadmill desk! The adjustible height desk frame is the GeekDesk 2.0 Max. The treadmill is from TreadDesk. The desk countertop is a cheap door from Home Depot.

Very very quiet treadmill.

The first hour, I was a bit seasick.

Getting better now... Let's see how next week goes.

Equipment for the Treadmill Desk:

LifeSpan Treadmill TR800 DT

Restoration Hardware Printmaker's Desk (with custom drawer inserts).

Treadmill desk made from Kee Lite aluminum fittings and pipe.

This is my makeship treadmill desk from a full view angle. It has a black tread with white arms. Sitting on the white arms is a closet shelf which was cut to length. On top of the shelf sits the keyboard and mouse. The little monitor will eventually be replaced with a flatscreen monitor on the wall where the little picture hangs.

I like how this works, but the keyboard angle is too low so extensive typing will cause pain (carpal tunnel?) I'm thinking of raising the platform where the keyboard and mouse are.

More importantly, the grid presents a real safety concern. When the treadmill is moving and someone comes up behind me, I tend to turn to talk to them, grasping inbetween the white wire grid. A simple trip on the moving treadmill and I could fall, wrenching my fingers (or worse.) I've gotta fix that!

The Uplift Treadmill Desk is the perfect way to add much-needed movement to the benefits of a sit-to-stand workstation.

I wrote a few thousand words, played a lot of Diablo 3, and still clocked in over 9 miles on the treadmill today.
