So you are an office person, working too many hours, therefore, sitting behind a desk for too many hours. In your mind, you have this positive idea about going to the gym or hit the road for some walking or running. But you just can’t find the time.
Don’t worry, I got your back. Now you can take your gym to the office with this small but very usefull machine, the ‘under desk bike‘.
What Are The Disadvantages Of Inactivity?
Sitting too many hours behind a desk gives you more than weak and inactive muscles. Obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, poor circulation, cholesterol, even certain cancers, only to name a few.
On top of that, weak muscles lead to weak bones, which lead to osteoporosis.
And let’s don’t forget the mental aspects of inactivity. Depression and anxiety are higher in people who don’t exercise.
So as wise person who knows all the above, you need to incorporate some type of activity in your busy schedule. That is why under desk bikes can be a good addition to your busy life.
What Is An Under Desk Bike?
An under desk bike is a small bike machine that only has pedals, and fits under your desk. It’s job is to help you exercise and stay fit, whithout leaving your desk. This way you eliminate the excuse of ‘I don’t have time to exercise’. You can exercise and work at the same time.
So if you are of those workaholic people who sit behind a desk all day long, maybe you should consider giving under desk bikes a try.
Of course you realize you don’t use the same amound of energy as going out to nature for walking or running, but, what I always say, even a little is better than nothing right?
