In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how to lose weight while you work with a trek desk. As Dr Jim Levine from the Mayo Clinic talks about the NEAT method for losing weight – humans are meant to move. So if you can create ways to stand up and stay moving throughout your day you can lose weight pretty easily and quickly. This kind of all day movement does not have to be vigorous it can be very casual and you will still burn lots of calories throughout the day. A friend of our Steve Bordley has come up with a TrekDesk. This workspace sits over the treadmill you have collecting dust in your garage. You just set the desk over the treadmill and do your work while walking at 1 mph all day long. So eat up and lose weight as long as you stay moving. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
