Boost Your Health & Productivity with a Desk Treadmill in Australia

If you're looking for a way to stay active and healthy while you work, a desk treadmill is the perfect solution. Southern Cross Fitness brings you a revolutionary way to combine fitness and productivity. A desk treadmill allows you to walk at a slow, steady pace while you're on calls, answering emails, or reading documents. It's the ultimate tool for combating a sedentary lifestyle right from your home office or workplace.

At Southern Cross Fitness, we understand the Australian market and the need for high-quality, reliable equipment. That's why we're proud to feature the ARROW Urban T2.0 Desk Treadmill, an ideal choice for anyone looking to incorporate more movement into their day. Pair it with a height-adjustable standing desk to create the ultimate active workstation. Our range of standing desks provides the perfect foundation for a productive and healthy environment.

Are desk treadmills good for you?

Yes, desk treadmills are incredibly beneficial for your health. Studies have shown that a sedentary lifestyle can lead to various health problems, including weight gain, heart disease, and poor posture. Walking on a desk treadmill helps to counteract the negative effects of prolonged sitting. It can boost your metabolism, improve circulation, and even increase your creativity and focus. By staying active throughout your workday, you're not just burning calories—you're also investing in your long-term physical and mental well-being.

What is the difference between a treadmill and a desk treadmill?

While both machines facilitate walking or running, the primary difference lies in their design and intended use. A traditional treadmill, like those found in our extensive treadmill collection page, is built for intense workouts, often featuring advanced controls for speed, incline, and various workout programs. They are larger, more robust, and typically have handrails for stability during high-speed activity.

In contrast, a desk treadmill, such as the ARROW Urban T2.0 Desk Treadmill, is specifically designed to be used while you work. They are much more compact and have a lower profile, allowing them to fit neatly under a standing desk. These machines are engineered for low-speed, long-duration walking, focusing on consistent movement rather than high-intensity exercise. They are quieter and lack the bulky handrails of a traditional treadmill, making them perfect for an office environment.

How long should you walk on an under desk treadmill?

There is no fixed rule for how long you should walk on your under desk treadmill, but consistency is key. A great starting point is to aim for 30 to 60 minutes of walking per day, broken up into several shorter sessions. You might start with 15 minutes in the morning and another 15 minutes in the afternoon. As you get more comfortable, you can gradually increase the duration. The goal is to integrate movement into your workday without it feeling like a chore. The beauty of a desk treadmill is that you can walk as much or as little as you want, fitting it seamlessly into your schedule to keep your body moving throughout the day.
