Heya Everyone, 

I'm new to the forum (first post), and just started last week on a Confidence Power Plus treadmill. I've searched the forums for this question, but wanted to double-check since some of the answers left me wondering.

I'm a little concerned about the motor's performance.

Did any of you convert an old used treadmill for your desk? I've found a bunch of cheap treadmills on Craig's List but I am concerned that they may not run slow enough to be used as a desk. Most increase speed at only .5 mile per hour increments. Since I've never worked on one, would this work as a desk? What speed/s do you typically work at? thanks for tips and suggestions. with a little guidance I will be one of you all soon!…

I've posted two albums that I hope give a good idea of how I built an attractive and comfortable walking desk for about $800.00.

The prototype, and the (mostly) finished product.

I would love it if these posts help somebody else!

I've been using the Treadmill desk now for about a week. I'm up to about 50-60 minutes per day, the remainder sitting (or uncomfortably) standing.

As for speed, usually quite slow - around 0.6-1mph/1-1.6kph.
