The 2.5 horsepower treadmill the speaker purchased offers a wide range of speeds (from .6 to 7.6 miles per hour) and a wider running belt (17 inches by 43 inches) which are crucial features for someone who uses a treadmill while working at their desk and needs the option to walk at different speeds and maintain balance without looking at their destination. Additionally, the low noise level of the treadmill is essential for use during work calls. These features make the treadmill a worthwhile investment for the speaker despite its mid-range price point.

The new treadmill the speaker purchased for work calls met the requirement of having a low noise level, with an average speed of around 3.5 mph during calls.

Setting up a treadmill desk for safe and productive use: To use a treadmill desk effectively, ensure proper setup, find the right walking speed, and maintain focus while working.
Using a treadmill desk involves a learning curve and requires careful setup to ensure safety and productivity. The treadmill needs to be positioned correctly under the desk to prevent falling off or walking into the desk. The user also needs to find the right walking speed and maintain spatial awareness while using a computer or engaging in calls. It's not as simple as walking on a treadmill without any distractions. With proper setup and practice, however, walking while working can be an effective way to boost productivity and improve overall health.

Multitasking while walking using a treadmill desk presents unique challenges. While it was easier to use the phone or have conversations without missteps, walking and typing required more focus and attention. The brain needs to regulate both walking and typing at the same time, which can be a learning curve and may initially slow down typing speed. Additionally, fitness trackers may not accurately count steps while walking on a treadmill due to stationary wrists. This discovery highlights the complexity of multitasking and the importance of focusing on one task at a time for optimal performance.

The treadmill in question, while effective for walking workouts, has some limitations. The user discovered that the machine's LED screen sometimes underestimated the time and distance covered during a session, leading to frustration.

The user also found that the treadmill was a useful addition to their home office setup, particularly during webinars. Overall, the user felt that the treadmill was worth the investment and had become a regular part of their morning routine, but it required some adjustments to use effectively. The user also warned that it might take some time to get used to the new equipment and to find the best setup for individual needs.
