Step 1 Treadmill Selection

 The TrekDesk treadmill desk fits virtually any existing home or commercial treadmill. As you can see from the photo it has a wide base to straddle even the widest treadmills and a center support system which detaches to allow even  fully enclosed treadmill arms to fit. 

Keep in mind that the body was designed to remain upright and move through the day however take it easy at first and do not attempt to walk more than 15 minutes per day.

Select a treadmill that fits your needs both for walking during the day and for more advanced training as your fitness levels increase. It is relatively easy process to slide the treadmill desk into and off of your treadmill offering a dual use capacity not available with other designs or do it yourself versions.
