How to Work in a Workout While You Work

//

FitDesk X: $229.99

In between the sloths who are content never working out and the nuts who must sweat their buns off every day, there exists a group in the middle. We want to workout, but find it difficult to squeeze it in. If only there were a way to multitask by exercising while working, gaming, emailing, reading — the stuff we've already found time for in our busy schedules.

Steady your elbows on FitDesk's padded foamcore, put a laptop, gaming device or book in front of you and (figuratively speaking) you're off! As a source of exercise, it offers a twin belt flywheel design with eight adjustable resistance positions. The built-in cyclometer tracks your time, speed and burned calories. And the standard seat accommodates riders weighing up to 250 pounds and standing from 58 inches to 76 inches. (An optional $25 seat post extender can up that max height to 82 inches.) At 33 pounds, it's fairly lightweight. And it folds up to just 16 inches by 47 inches and a foot tall. Since being released it appears to be getting favorable customer feedback. And if you already have a spin, road or mountain bike you like, their $80 Pro accessory can convert it into your own little working/workout station.
