Discover The FitDesk™

The FitDesk™ is a unique invention that allows the user to exercise comfortably while working or surfing the web on their laptop. The FitDesk™ is unique in several ways:

• The Patent pending design allows you rest your elbows comfortably on a padded surface while you spin. This allows you to support your body while in motion, and frees your hands for typing on your laptop or gaming in a way that no other exercise bike can!
  
  
• It's compact! Our bike is sturdy, yet folds up quickly and easily so you can move it out of the way in your home or office. When you buy exercise equipment, you shouldn't have to build another room onto your house! The FitDesk folds in seconds.
  
  
• Our top holds your laptop and accessories firmly and comfortably. The firm grip top construction holds your laptop in place while you exercise. We also include universal straps for added security!

Understanding NON-EXERCISE ACTIVITY THERMOGENESIS (NEAT)

Research by the Mayo Clinic show us that Human Activity has two constituents, exercise-related activity thermogenesis and Non-exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT). For the average modern American, exercise activity thermogenesis is negligible. NEAT, even for the most active trainers, remains the primary method of activity and is the energy burner. There are many ways that we participate in NEAT: including occupation, leisure and even fidgeting.

NEAT and the way you work

People who work as Emergency Medical Technicians (ambulatory personnel) can have NEAT values of 1000 kcal/day greater than their sedentary peers. In affluent countries, lower-NEAT jobs have been associated with increased obesity rates. In other words, if you sit at a computer, at your laptop or desk most of the day, you are not burning the calories or getting the exercise your body has adapted to over the past several millennia. Just think of all the calories we burned when we humans were hunting, gathering and farming all day! And we wonder why we have problems with being fat!

The Mayo Clinic research shows that the average effects of our sedentary work and leisure lifestyle accounts for a deficit of about 100-200 kcal/day; which potentially could account for the entire obesity epidemic! In other words, if we could just devise a way to move a bit while working and watching TV, we could possibly eliminate obesity!

The FitDesk™ laptop exercise desk is designed to provide a fun and convenient way to move while doing the things you do on the computer. Even moderate pedaling while working on your annual report, spreadsheet, or communication with friends and family online can give you amazing benefits over time .

The FitDesk is the perfect solution for Gaming too!

We all know someone, or may be someone who spends a lot of time playing video games on Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo. This activity sometimes raises our heart rate, but doesn't give us the exercise we need to really get a workout. The FitDesk™ can be setup in front of the TV and allows you to comfortably game while getting a workout. Games are possibly the best activities for a hard workout, as the challenge increases adrenaline and heart rate, which makes you want to pedal harder!

There is nothing quite like the FitDesk™ available today. Products by SteelCase and other manufacturers cost many hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The FitDesk™ is affordable, and is versatile enough to fit in almost any setting, whether it be for exercising at your office or your home.
