treadmill
noun
- an exercise machine which consists of a moving strip or two step-like parts on which you walk without moving forward
- any type of repeated work which is boring and makes you feel tired and seems to have no positive effect and no end
- a wide wheel turned by the weight of people climbing on steps around its edge, used in the past to provide power for machines or, more usually, as a punishment for prisoners

A Treadmill Desk is a working desk built around a treadmill. A person using the treadmill desk walks slowly on the treadmill while continuing to perform office tasks at the desk.
There are several types of treadmill desks available on the open market. Some incorporate a traditional treadmill with a desktop built over it, while most are now commercially built for this specific use.
The aim of a treadmill desk is to integrate movement and gentle exercise into the working day of an otherwise sedentary office worker. Rather than sitting all day in a chair, a treadmill desk allows desk-based workers to stand and take a slow walk while working.
Scientific research has also shown that walking, like other forms of mild exercise, can also improve one's mental alertness, heighten creativity, fight depression, increase productivity and improve one's mood.
The price of treadmill desks ranges from US$500-$4,500.
