I would love this!
A NY Times article, New Weight-Loss Focus: The Lean and the Restless, discusses how non-exercise physical activity over the course of the day may be a significant factor in why some people are thin and others are fat. It seems that most lean folks in the study were spending two more hours a day standing, pacing around and fidgeting for an average additional caloric burn of 350 calories a day. To take advantage of this finding, Dr. Levine, one of the studies author replaced his work desk with a treadmill where he walks at .7 miles per hour ( a pace a second) as he works on the computer and talks on the phone. This keeps him active and alert all day long. With my tiny little slot on the trading floor, I can only envy such health luxury.
