As Long as You’re Walking and Working …
The weird things you discover while following random links online: apparently there’s a small but growing trend of people walking on treadmills — dubbed Walkstations — while they work.
The New York Times wrote last week about how companies like Humana, Mutual of Omaha, GlaxoSmithKline and Best Buy have been buying these Walkstations — a total of 335 since last November — to help their employees stay fit while they work. Credit for the concept goes to James Levine, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic who’s big on the benefits of exercise.
