Highly Ranked

It's just you.

Actually, you're not supposed to GO ALL OUT with this thing. You just walk at about 1 mile per hour -- an EXTREMELY slow amble. You can still concentrate on your work (or on Engadget, etc.) but by the end of the day you've walked 8 miles without even knowing it!

Even small movements add up when it comes to burning calories. This is an example of what's called Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (or NEAT). You'll still burn around 100 calories per mile, no matter how slow you go.

An extra 800 calories burned per day adds up to over a pound a week! Doesn't sound like a lot until you realize that 1 pound a week for a year is over 50 pounds. Now that's impressive.
