Walk at work

Here’s a way to keep moving at work.

Details – a Steelcase company – offers what it calls a Walkstation. It’s an electric, height adjustable work station attached to a commercial grade treadmill with a maximum speed of 2 miles per hour. It is designed to allow office workers to burn up to 100 calories per hour without leaving their computer screens.

Quebeckers and exercise equipment

Quebeckers are significantly less likely to own exercise equipment than Canadians in the ROC. According to PMB 2009 data, 26.1% of Canadians in the ROC own exercise equipment compared to 14.3% of French-speaking residents of Québec.

I should probably add that ‘owning’ and ‘using’ exercise equipment isn’t the same.
