    I'm glad to see someone thinking about aesthetics in home workout equipment. It's not the most important consideration to me but I like for the things I live with to be beautiful.

    On the down side, it looks like the stride length is a bit short. #mobia

    In reply to Mobia From Nautilus Is the iPod of Treadmills
    I think the idea of #trainingzones is misleading, and discouraging for a lot of people. Any level of physical exertion will result in increased calorie burning, but shooting for a certain heart rate often results in slow and boring workouts.

    Strength training combined with high intensity intervals is less boring, and in my experience more effective.

    Cardio machines like this are great if you are the kind of person that can deal with the monotony and boredom. But with the price-tag that comes with these machines you're better off grabbing a gym membership (at this price point you could go for years and still come out on top.)

    I'm not a physical trainer, but I swim for my college, and I'm training for a triathlon in the spring. #mobia

    @eagles3 speeeedin: You're a swimmer and a triathlete - keep in mind that we are talking about regular people here who are probably out of shape and have little time or motivation to exercise. #mobia

    Just to clarify. The Colbert is the ceramic thing in your bathroom. The C.O.L.B.E.R.T is the treadmill.

    @MrHaroHaro: There is no anti-Colbert sentiment here. I love my Colbert. I spend about 15-20 minutes on mine everyday. Despite NASA's back-peddling, I will continue to refer to the throne in my bathroom as a Colbert. I respect the people's choice.

    When I sit in on phone conferences or read/reply to emails it's a great time to get on the treadmill. As long as they listeners don't mind my heavy breathing. :)

    If you're on a treadmill, you shouldn't be on the computer.
    What's so important to do on it, that people can't wait 30 min.
    All the controls are being blocked, and for safety reasons they shouldn't.
    If someone falls while using it, who are they gonna blame, themselves, no, they're gonna blame whoever made this.
    Things like this, is just a lawsuit waiting to happen.

    @Colonel Jack O'Neill: You obviously didn't read any of the post. It's for walking, for one, and it's for walking while working, so you can do 2 or 3 hours on it while you were otherwise going to be sitting on your ass.

    And for commenting without reading a post, you get a ban.

    @Jason Chen: I'll probably get banned for this too, but I did read the article. But, Colonel Jack actually had some good points regarding safety. Albeit, the one line about What's so important did seem to indicate he either did not read the lengthy posting or scanned it and didn't get it.

    Just wrapping up another 7 mile day on my treadmill desk! If you have $40, I highly recommend equipping yourself with one. I had to hack a treadmill to fit under a stand up desk, not as easy.

    Or you could just hook up your laptop to your TV and use this for a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. At least your laptop wouldn't fall.

    Or you could have everyone chip in and buy a 105" Panasonic. Whatever floats your boat.

    @fusedinertia: Since you asked...

    I have been on a project at work,and being in the office 11 1/2 hours a day,I still have been walking 3 miles (or biking 12) when I get home. I like to get some PC time in,but I'd been blowing it off simply because of fitting all of the other stuff in. But I'd always thought of putting something together to allow me to go online while running. I don't think the top part of my treadmill is stable enough when moving at 4-4.5 miles an hour,so I would prob. build a stand that went over it,but accomplished the same thing. But for people who lack those skills,I think this product is a great idea actually!

    @fusedinertia: are you serious? If I traded all the hours I'm on the computer in with walking on the treadmill I'd be 10% bodyfat, in fact I'd say 90% of computer users would be in much better shape. Even if you'd rather run, it'd be great to have this just for the hours I spend on the PC, and when I don't have time to run I can at least be thankful I got 10 miles out of the way on the treadmill.
