When treadmills report the number of calories burned, they estimate your body's *total* burn, not just what is burned through the exercise. It turns out when walking that slowly, the vast majority of the burn is through standard metabolic processes. See this chart: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/calories.php?WeightPounds=160&WeightKg=&exertype=&highcal=0&minutes=60&order=CalsBurned+DESC Calories burned per hour - sitting - writing, desk work, typing: 137 walking, less than 2.0 mph, very slow: 152 So you burn 600 calories in 4 hours of slow walking... but you burn 540 calories if you spent the same 4 hours sitting at your desk! Makes it somewhat less impressive unfortunately. I still really like this idea and am thinking about doing it, but my wife just pointed out something interesting.

Calories burned per hour –
sitting – writing, desk work, typing: 137
walking, less than 2.0 mph, very slow: 152

So you burn 600 calories in 4 hours of slow walking… but you burn 540 calories if you spent the same 4 hours sitting at your desk! Makes it somewhat less impressive unfortunately.

I can't believe anyone would really do that though. On one hand many people need to get in the zone to workout, but on the other a fully loaded desk would completely take their minds off the torture.

I was just reading a Squidoo lens on this - I honestly love this idea, and will probably give it a shot (could do with losing the extra calories after christmas hehe) I also think it deserves an article on my website - great post :-D This is a pretty awesome idea!!

Or I use to till someone used my piece of wood after our move. :) But I will get it back in action and get back in motion. I had and will have again my set up of. My laptop, cordless phone, portable DVD player, Wii and Xbox wireless controllers as well as all the extra remotes for the TV etc. Is is a brilliant idea and I always wished they would come out with a model that had shelves and side tables. (I use folding chairs. My set up will be in the living room this time as my office in the new house is QUITE CROWDED. :) Enjoy and thanks for sharing. I have a set up something the same.
