Working out while at work

-

THE “sitting disease” is becoming a global concern as our lifestyle is modernised with the latest tools and gadgets that bring convenienc­e to our daily tasks to suit our hectic lifestyle.

The increasing sedentary lifestyle or “sitting disease” is a term used to describe an individual who does not engage in enough physical activity to be healthy.

Research has linked sitting for long periods of time with a number of health risks, which include obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and also cardiovasc­ular diseases such as coronary heart disease, stroke and heart attack.

Most health profession­als recommend walking 10,000 steps a day as the ideal goal to set for improving health and reducing the health risks caused by inactivity.

According to the World Health Organizati­on ( WHO), 60% to 85% of the population worldwide do not engage in enough activity, making physical inactivity the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality.

To reduce too much sitting, especially in the office and at home, the new NordicTrac­k Deskmill is the preferred choice that lets you work and workout simultaneo­usly, increasing your productivi­ty and improving your health and fitness levels gradually.

This US- branded product combines the best of both worlds, incorporat­ing a working desk and a treadmill.

Individual­s can walk or jog in comfort on its long cushioned deck while getting work done at the same time.

You can even fold it up and turn it into a standing desk position or a sitting desk position for home or office setting. Other innovative features include: > Smart Versatilit­y Design: Easy transition from sitting to running.

The revolution­ary SpaceSaver design allows Deskmill to fold up vertically for you to sit or stand and then comes down for runs.

> Power- adjustable Incline: Deskmill’s 10% incline can be adjusted digitally with a touch of a button. Raise incline to activate specific muscle groups and burn more calories.

> Adjustable Desk Height: Find your perfect desktop height.

The desktop is adjustable between 26in and 42in ( 66.04cm and 106.68cm) to accommodat­e multiple user heights for different motions.

> Easy Reach Desktop Controls: Easy- toread LCD console display built into the desktop. Three readouts display time, distance, calories, calories- per- hour, incline and speed. Controls adjust speed and incline on clear, concise display for easy progress monitor.
