      Now it's time to invest some time and build a manual curved one. The construction isn't to hard, you just have to buy quite a few bearing, some good wood for construction, two rubber strips then cut, sand and paint some boards. I'm curious if you could actually use it while programming if the speed will be slower and naturally adjustable, because when you walk on a curved treadmill you can stop anytime you want to think about something.

    I've had the maksone treadmill for about 6 months now. In the beginning i couldnt really function while walking on it. I realized that i just had my speed set way too high. I set it to a very casual walk, and now i don't even notice walking anymore in the morning. I drink my coffee and then set up my treadmill and walk from 8-noon every day. I recommend buying indoor treadmill only shoes, so you dont ruin all your socks. I get about 7k steps on it daily =) sometimes when i do difficult tasks that require full concentration i have to stop the treadmill - you know when you have to turn down the car volume so you can see while parking ;D

    • @steve.benjamins1
      @steve.benjamins1  9 місяців тому +14

      I think it's the small text size combined with motion while walking that cause the motion sickness.

      @Dream-bc8el - The simple reason is in how UA-cam algorithm works. He’s got amazing production quality, but I’m assuming he’s not ready to commit to publishing consistently yet. He’s done 6 or so videos and some shorts in the past year and although they are excellent, he would need to increase rate his of publishing, maintain a consistent schedule, and get more content on his channel. Also, he hasn’t narrowed down to a specific subject/niche so it may take a bit longer. Nevertheless he did gain one subscriber today ✋🏽😀

    The first few weeks were rough as I managed to get thrown off a few times. I found that once I got used to walking at my desk, I was actually more zoned in when I wrote code. Part of that is the movement keeping my ADHD in check, but I honestly enjoyed it. It's a lot harder to keep at it now that I am in a hybrid working situation.

    You definitely weren't walking enough to lose any weight, but adding steps in and getting more movement in your body is always going to be a net positive.

  • @walsky1
    @walsky1 6 місяців тому +2

    I'd set not a "steps goal", but a "mode goal". When you commute, you walk faster. Your heats beats the other way. You are not trying to do something at the same time. And then you feel refreshed. It's another mode of walking.
    I also have a walking treadmill in my room. I watched this video while walking at 3.7 mph. I feel refreshed now :-)
    So if you still have it - it might be a good idea to change the walking mode.
    And change the goal to "for X minutes per day to be in THAT walking mode".

  • @mikmop
    @mikmop 6 місяців тому +4

    The reason no weight was lost with the treadmill exercises was because it was not being done at a high enough intensity. What's actually needed is a high intensity interval training program. So you start slow and then increase your speed incrementally over time, until you're doing a final 30-second burst of sprinting at 95% to 100% of your maximum heart rate.
    In fact if you only do this 30-second burst once every 2 days (or three times a week), it will allow any calorie deficit you're enforcing to do it's job by preventing your body from going into starvation mode and slowing your metabolism as a result of eating fewer calories.
    So by keeping your metabolism high through this effect called "excess post-exercise oxygen consumption" (EPOC), aka the "afterburn effect", your body continues to burn calories at an elevated rate even after you've finished exercising.

    • @steve.benjamins1
      @steve.benjamins1  6 місяців тому

    • @gingerperksgaming
      @gingerperksgaming 4 місяці тому

      You can lose weight from doing this (especially 10k steps a day), it’s all about the food. You don’t need to do high intensity (hiit) to lose weight. Technically you can be sedentary and lose weight as it’s all about calories

    • @mikmop
      @mikmop 4 місяці тому

      @@gingerperksgaming The problem with trying to lose weight through a caloric deficit only, is that your body goes into starvation mode in an effort to conserve energy and it slows down your metabolism so you you'll then burn fewer calories at rest. And when you start eating normally again, because your metabolism has slowed down, it then takes a while to re-adjust back to normal, so your regular caloric intake will then make you put back all the weight you've lost.
      Furthermore, without adequate protein intake or strength training, your body will also start breaking down muscle tissue for energy, so about a third of your weight loss will be muscle tissue with the other two thirds being fat. This further decreases your metabolic rate because muscle tissue burns more calories than fat.
      Therefore the only way to keep your metabolism high is through doing cardio and strength training and . And that way it allows the caloric deficit to do it's job and all of the weight you lose will be fat and not muscle tissue.

  • @Diego_Cabrera

    I initially thought I needed one, but I forgot I had a stationary cardio bike in my garage, and surprisingly, it fits under my standing desk. I don't know how much better this is instead of the walking pad, but since I am simply sitting down, it makes it easier to spend more time on it. I do have to agree on the tasks you can realistically do while doing some sort of movement. I think it just comes down to how much you have to concentrate on that task.

    I have the same one. I have never used the remote. I turn on/off and control the speed with the app on my phone.

    3:30 You should not feel any pain when working with a computer, if you do you should consider starting using an ergonomic split keyboard (like the ZSA Voyager) and an ergonomic mouse like a trackball or a RollerMouse

      Came to say the same thing. Nobody should use the "magic mouse" from apple.

    Get a smartwatch. That's how you get addicted to getting your steps in every day.
    Also switch the way you think about it. Instead of trying to work while on a treadmill, try to get your steps in the treadmill while knocking some of your work done. The treadmill desk is also best when trying to do something for leisure like browsing the web or videos where you don't have to concentrate too hard.

    Great video!! What computer program are you using in the first part of the video??? I thought it was solitaire, but then I thought it might be something useful!

    If you can keep this standard of quality, you are not gonna stay small for long. I'm certain of that.
    Good luck!!

    USE 2 MICE! I have for decades. Giving your dominant hand a rest even 20-30% of the time makes a difference. Over time it's easy and intuitive. I'm right handed, and use my left for folder opening, email surfing, simpler stuff. I'm probably 60/40 right to left now.

    Wow, that's nice approach! I feel bored easily too!
    And I have hard time setting up my threadmil, as I do not have a standing desk.
    My personal thoughts: the wrist issue could be somewhat better, when I do not fixate my hand, as I put pressure on it otherwise, and not just my wrist, but my back also starts hurting.
    I can read in 3-3,5km/h, but if I need to code 1-2km/tops, it won't give me nearly as much steps, but could keep body moving. I originaly bought it for concentration, as I think by walking better, but honestly, if you walk fast it is counterproductive.

      That’s really interesting - confirms my experience too. I might try a bike-desk next. See if it’s easier to code while pedaling 🤷🏼‍♂️

    awesome video well edited and informative. You mentioned you have a standing desk for 10 years! I have never made the jump and work from home on a traditional desk would you recommend switching? Any benefits you see? And any recommendations. I think that will be my first step before considering a treadmill.

    • @steve.benjamins1
      @steve.benjamins1  Рік тому

      Thank you!! I love my standing desk - and I use it habitually. The main benefit I experience is I find standing keeps my energy level higher. When I work at a non-standing desk, my body feels lethargic after a few hours.
