It's usual to see people pedaling a bike at the road or bike path. But, how you can keep pedaling your legs while sitting in front of your computer?. Professor Jim Martin, a specialist in exercise science at the University of Utah make a brilliant breakthrough by developing a concept called Active Desk. What is it?

Quoted from its official page project, "Active Desk is an integrated recumbent exercise bike and desk with refined ergonomics for easy computer operation."

The Active Desk enable you to perform an exercise while working with your computer at your desk. All day long. The key to Active Desk is that you can be active all day long and keep the intensity low - no sweating, no heavy breathing, and no muscle burning.
The Active Desk can be an alternative for those who too busy or too tired after work to exercise. As you know that physical inactivity increases the risk of many medical conditions including heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and depression. The Martin’s idea aims to tackle growing numbers of overweight adults by introducing low intensity exercise into the daily grind.



The desk is currently in the prototype phase, and the university is attempting to crowdsource the funding to get it into full production. Early models are are already available for US$2,000.

So how, ready to keep cycle while working?.
