When the pandemic first started, I wrote a post a about building and investing in a home gym.
Since then, @ildi posted this excellent about the benefits standing desks:
That got me thinking, should I invest in one.. but then I thought, can I combine the two?
I found myself wandering around the garage the other day looking for a shelf that I could rest on the treadmill that would safely hold my laptop, a few gadgets and a cup of tea.
Voila!
I successfully converted my treadmill into a standing / walking desk with a yoga mat and an unused Ikea shelf.
I clocked 10k on it yesterday!
Now I just need to see if I can type whilst jogging.

DIY setups are so much fun! This reminds me of the time I used a large/sturdy cardboard box to place my wireless iMac keyboard + mouse on which essentially turned my setup into a standing desk. It worked well with a 27" iMac because you could tilt the screen upward. It wasn't too much work to go back to a sitting desk either. This was the first time I got to experience some of the benefits of a standing desk.
Nice set up!
I have to be careful, the sensors under the white shelf can speed up the treadmill if I type too hard 😂😂
