Under desk treadmill?

I keep seeing these online and I wondered if anyone has one? They're the ones that people use as they're working.
I'm looking to get in more exercise and thought this might be a good idea.

If you've got one, would you let me know which one you have? TIA

I am also thinking about getting one, so following with interest...

I have one in my basket on Amazon, also waiting to see if anyone finds it useful lol.

No but I do have one of the under desk bike things. find that good as I can work whilst cycling, gets my heartbeat up and releases the endorphins. looked at the treadmill but couldn’t figure how to work while on it.

thanks @Stardustkid, I don't think a bike would work for me but I'll also look them up.

I did read some research out of interest once as our CIO, and they seem to have only very marginal benefit because you’re less likely to be doing focussed cardio of any reasonable intensity on them than if you went to the gym or outside for a designated walk or run.

Our CIO has his own private office so it’s not as distracting, but I can’t imagine wanting to work at the desk next to somebody who was bopping around on a treadmill for several bursts a day!

Thanks @ComtesseDeSpair, thankfully I mostly work from home!
