Yesterday the Belgium program Volt had a small item about the walking desk. (Thank you Renaat Toppets for warning me)

Let’s do a perfection game on the program.

What I liked:

• I learned about a company that is selling walking desks in Belgium
• they let people of a callcenter, actually use the walking desk
• they have multiple people talk about their experience.
• they ask the physiotherapist the advantages and disavantages of a walkingdesk
• they made the the health issues from sitting 8 hours clear
• they compared sitting a lot and smoking

What I would have preferred:

• They would let multiple people use it for a few days.
• They make it clear how long the people talking used the desk.
• Also let people who have are actually users of a walking desk. ( instead of the people who sale the walkdesk)
• use the word walkingdesk (or treadmill desk) like the rest of the world and not use the local brand name WalkDesk
• When the physiotherapist talks about the height problem, the height of the walking desk is adjusted, so that the desk is at the correct height for Tatyana.
• some of the footage shows people walking faster then the minimum speed. I walk almost twice as fast as what they see
• they use a desk with an electronic lift instead of a manual lift to adjust height.
• Mark Tijsman would know that although the desk is big, he can have a build-in versions.
• The computer screens where set up higher.
