What kills exercise for me is the knowing you are doing it, and the waiting for it to end. My pandemic project changed that
A young volunteer at Warren Murray’s walking desk.Last modified on Wed 22 Dec 2021 03.50 GMThave been working from home since 2011, long before the pandemic, and getting enough exercise without a daily commute to the office has proven a challenge. I exercise most effectively when it’s just built into my day, like cycling to work was previously.
Just standing up at your desk does burn calories – but as a form of exercise it is dead boring, your feet get sore, your legs want to walk off somewhere else, and eventually you realise that it’s easier to think sitting down. I decided a treadmill workstation or “walking desk” would be the go. You can buy these in various forms but I decided to improvise.
Since breaking my hand in three places when I fell headlong while trying to take adult tennis lessons, a Dark Knight Rises workout regime has been out of the question, at least while the hand is in rehab – a frustratingly longwinded process. So the idea of a walking desk was revived. The desktop was more complicated. In the raised position, it has to be elevated and forward in relation to its lowered position, so that I can be further forward, otherwise I would shoot off the back of the treadmill mid-stride.
