Honestly can you enjoy doing treadmills while your fingers are tapping away those keyboard keys, not to mention how about using your mouse? In some form of exercise maybe you can combine work with exercise but honestly using a treadmill and doing your work, not to mention having those low cost treadmills that don't give proper stability while walking or jogging.

When you think about many of the ills of our present culture, chairs are probably one of our downfalls.
