A new study just released by the Centers for Disease Control show that that nearly 62% of Americans take regular walks, a significant increase from the 56%  levels reported in 2005. While the news is encouraging the CDC warns that we are still far below minimum physical activity levels required for optimum health. TrekDesk Treadmill Desk offers a unique solution to keep Americans moving through out the day.

CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden was encouraged by the increase in activity levels. "Physical activity is the wonder drug," he said, and more Americans are making a first step in getting more physical activity.15 million more Americans were walking in 2010 compared to 2005.You live longer, you have a lower risk of heart attack and stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a lower risk of diabetes and cancer, a lower risk of falls and depression, a lower risk of cognitive decline as you get older, and probably a lower risk of hip fracture and better sleep as well."

The CDC estimates that at least 48% of all American adults are not getting enough exercise to maintain minimum levels of health. Previous studies by the CDC showed the reasons most Americans do not engage in regular exercise is due to lack of time and motivation. That is where the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk offers a unique advantage. The TrekDesk Treadmill Desk allows an individual the opportunity to walk through out the entire day without requiring additional time or motivation.

“We are encouraged that more Americans are getting the message that their health is dependent upon movement,” stated Steve Bordley, CEO of TrekDesk Treadmill Desk. “Hopefully, this momentum will continue to a point that reverses many of the health challenges we now face as a nation.”
