Get your steps in while you work.

The Office Walker is not a workout device. It is a slow walk over the hours you were going to spend sitting anyway, at a pace you would never call exercise, so you can walk through calls, reading and email without anyone hearing it.

Calories per day
Rough estimate. Around 1,320 steps per km, and METs of 2.0 for a slow stroll or 2.8 for an easy walk applied to your body weight. Real figures vary by person.

When it is cold out, you are not going to the gym, so walk at your desk.

You know how it goes. Get dressed, get the car or the bike, drive over, do the session, come back, take shower. The hard part is not the workout. It is not that you are lazy. The whole thing costs too much before you have taken a single step.

This costs nothing to start. It is already under your desk, nobody else notices it, and there is no session to plan. You walk while you answer email, while you sit through a meeting, while you wait for claud code to finish.

+1000 Steps
The morning stand up

Thirty minutes on your feet while the team talks. That is 1,000 steps before your day has even started.

+2,000 Steps
The calls you only listen to

Half the meetings in your week need your ears and not your inputs. Walk straight through those.

+3,000 Steps
Waiting for stuff to finish

Many hours every day, you are sitting staring at the monitor and waiting, why not burn more calories during it?

Don't want to go out in the dark, but still wanna get your steps in? do it while binging.

One plausible day, not an average. once you get used to typing while walking your steps will be double this.

Slow is the point, not the compromise.

Slow is the point, not the compromise.

A motor has a minimum speed and a mind of its own. Here the deck follows your feet, so a slow shuffle stays a slow shuffle and you can stop mid step without reaching for anything. You can walk faster than 3 km/h and nothing will happen to it. We have tested it well above that. The limit is you: past about 3 km/h, actually working gets hard.

THE HONEST VERSION

It will not transform you. It will just keep you moving.

This is not a fitness machine and I would not sell it to you as one. What it does is keep you healthier through a desk day, help you focus, and take the edge off the back that starts aching by four from sitting still for eight hours. And you burn back some of the calories you are going to eat later in front of Netflix.

You get your 10,000 steps without thinking about it and without adding anything to your day. using this most workdays for a year, beats the gym membership you are not using, because this one is already under your feet.

Movement that fits the day you already have.

Why does your back hurt after a day at a desk?

Eight hours in one posture and the body reads it as nothing to do. Legs that will not settle in the evening. A lower back that aches by the afternoon and stiffens overnight. Hips that quietly forgot their range.

One gym session a week does not undo that. It gets better the way it got worse, gradually, through what you do for eight hours a day. Walking slowly through the parts of the day that never needed you sitting is the cheapest change you can make, because it costs you no extra time at all.

How quiet it has to be to survive a whole workday

Why do most walking pads stop getting used?

Most walking pads are built to be shoved under the sofa or bed the second you step off, which is exactly why they stop getting used. You get a slab of plastic, a remote that goes missing in a week, and in two years a dead motor to throw away.

I made this out of wood and steel, in natural, dark or black, so it can stay out in the room. Nothing to plug in, no remote to lose, no screen glowing at you from the floor and designed to look like a piece of furniture. You leave it where it is, that is why its the only version that keeps getting used daily.

The materials

It does not stop being useful at 6 PM

The same pad that carried you through the workday is still there when the laptop shuts. An episode you were going to watch sitting down becomes an episode you walk through, and you get the steps without a coat, a dark street or a gym subscription.

It works for long gaming sessions too, with one honest caveat from me. This is a walking pad, so anything competitive that lives on fast, accurate mouse movement is better done planted in the chair.

The long session version

The health questions, honestly

I could easily hit 10,000 steps while working and felt more energized and focused.

Get your name down for one.

Backers get theirs first. After that the waitlist orders, below the price the store will charge once it opens to everyone. Tens of thousands of people are already on it, so it is worth putting your name down now.
