And the way I use it is I basically just force myself to start my day on the treadmill desk.

And I say to myself, if I don't like it after five minutes, I'll sit down.

But I'll start and just see how it feels.

And then an hour goes by.

And I've forgotten I'm even on it.

I am putting it at such a slow speed.

I think I'm usually walking at like one mile per hour.

I mean, it's very, very glacially slow.

I do put my aura ring on my second toe when I do this because otherwise it doesn't count my steps.

Because if your hands are at your desk, it won't count your steps.

But it's incredible how even at a 1.0, one mile per hour speed after two to three hours, you're easily going to get six, seven, 8,000 steps and then throw in a couple other short walks throughout the day and you're getting there easily.

So it's just a great way to build back in what modernity took away.

And that unfortunately is unavoidable, that regular movement for good physiology.

So I'm a big fan.

of them.

And the data suggests that for a couple hours a day, they can actually have an impact on body composition, which I think is a great, easy, inexpensive thing for people to do.

But if you don't want to buy one, just set those timers and build in the walks throughout the day outside.

the body as much as possible during the day contracting muscles contracting muscles it's medicine and i i find the concept of neat just endlessly fascinating you know because we kind of come up with this term non-exercise activity thermogenesis and the data is really good about it like it basically shows that this is a a prime potential intervention for the obesity epidemic

And it all goes back to the cell.

It's essentially a stimulus that's telling the body to stay metabolically active as opposed to keeping all those metabolic pathways dormant during the day.
