Step count, miles walked, calorie burn, average speed, and time walking data can be sent to phone and even shared to Fitbit or Apple Health.
Inmovement
The highest performance, quietest, safest, most ergonomic and most stable under-desk treadmill available today. The Unsit is a walking treadmill designed from the ground up for the office. Any iMovR desk model with a 53″-wide desktop or greater will be a perfect match.
The unique form factor of the Unsit treadmill is 50% wider, with a shorter deck that occupies less room in your office. Instead, the extra width allows the user to move around in front of their workstation more comfortably.

The Best Treadmill Desk Workstations
iMovR makes it simple to pair a standing desk with a treadmill. Whether you're working from home or need treadmills for workstations throughout the office, we can help.
Note: The Unsit needs a minimum of 40″ of space between the desk legs. Lander and Jaxson desks with tops at least 53″ wide will meet this requirement.

Walking at Work for Better Health
Preventing Sitting Disease
Why Walk on a Treadmill at My Desk?
The modern sedentary lifestyle can lead to a number of symptoms and long-term health effects. Some of the most common symptoms include lower back pain, weight gain (leading to metabolic syndrome), reduced focus, and poor posture. Doctors have named this sitting disease.
Sitting disease can affect anyone who spends long hours in a chair. This is why it's especially common in office workers. Sitting disease even affects people who exercise regularly. Studies show that sitting all day at the office has negative effects.
A treadmill desk is an ideal solution for preventing sitting disease, increasing your metabolism, and even burning a few extra calories each day. By changing positions frequently throughout the day, including walking sessions you can avoid or correct the effects of prolonged sitting while simultaneously improving your work productivity.
Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis
The Science of NEAT
Dr. James Levine, a researcher and physician at the Mayo Clinic, coined the term NEAT™ (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) to describe the small movements we make throughout the day that burn calories and slightly increase your heart rate.
Activities like standing and slow walking can put you in the NEAT zone, a sweet spot between resting and aerobic exercise. When your heart rate is elevated by 10%, compared with your resting heart rate, but not as much as 50%, you're in the NEAT zone. In simple terms, “if you’re sitting or sweating, you’re not in the NEAT zone.”
NEAT activity like walking at your desk promotes an overall metabolic increase, which leads to numerous health benefits, among which are increased blood flow to the brain and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
Getting Things Done
How Can I Walk at My Desk?
When you imagine actually working while walking, you might think that it can be hard to get anything done while you're on a treadmill, but many work-related tasks are well suited to working at a treadmill desk.
Walking is ideal when you are reading documents, responding to emails, watching videos, or making phone/video calls. With the proper setup, including a SteadyType keyboard tray, typing, even for long stretches at a time, becomes perfectly natural while walking at your desk.
Maintain a Neutral Typing Angle
SteadyType: The Best Option for Typing while Walking
Ordinary keyboard trays don't offer more than −15° of keyboard tilt, which isn't steep enough to offer a neutral typing angle when standing or walking.
iMovR's proprietary SteadyType design allows you to set the keyboard at literally any angle up to −85°. Most treadmill desk users will find that a tilt angle of −25° to −40° will maximize ergonomics and comfort, and boost typing speed, accuracy, and endurance compared to other keyboard tray options. When you're walking while working, a SteadyType keyboard tray offers the greatest stability and comfort.
The Ergonomics of Treadmill Desks
Standing desk ergonomics and treadmill desk ergonomics share a lot of common ground, but the addition of the office treadmill to the mix means that there are a few more things to consider. Take a look at each of the accessory categories below, and learn how they help you to create proper ergonomics for walking on an office treadmill.
Prevent Neck Strain, Promote Good Posture
Monitor Arms for Appropriate Screen Height
Going from standing at your desk to walking at your desk doesn't really change the ergonomics of your monitor arm. As usual, the top of your screen(s) should be at eye level. However, since you're standing on the treadmill deck, rather than the floor, you need to make sure your monitor arm has enough range to go as high as you will need it to. The higher your desk can comfortably go, the less this becomes an issue.
Also note that if you keep your chair to the side of your treadmill, you'll need more horizontal range on your monitor arm than if you use a TreadTop stool when you sit down.
While You're Not Walking
Staying On Your Feet With Standing Mats
Treadmill decks are not soft surfaces. They're fine for walking, but when you're taking a standing break, you need a good anti-fatigue mat to prevent discomfort. Depending on the width of your workstation, you may choose to stand to the side of your treadmill, or simply to stay on its deck.
The width of the Unsit allows a standard 36″ × 24″ mat to sit comfortably on top of it. If you have a different office treadmill at your desk, smaller options are also available that can fit nicely on a narrower deck.
Taking a Break
Treadmill Desk Seating
Even the most dedicated treadmill desk user shouldn't be walking (or even standing) all the time. Ergonomists encourage frequent changes in position, roughly every one to two hours.
Creating a sit-stand treadmill desk is easier than you think. We designed our TreadTop seating options for sitting at your treadmill desk. They have wide bases to safely distribute the weight on your office treadmill without damaging its deck or belt.
If your desk is wide enough, create a sit-stand-walk workstation with an ergonomic office chair to the side of your treadmill.
For Taller Individuals
iMovR
Stepping on the deck of your treadmill when you approach your desk means adding another 5″ to your height. For users on the taller side (usually about 5′10″ or more), this can create an awkward situation where the desk, even raised to it's maximum height, no longer offers ideal ergonomics.
Extend the height range of your desk to more easily accomodate a walking workstation by adding 6″ height extenders to the legs of your desk. Our height extenders are easy to install and will match the color of any iMovR base.
