Give people private offices with treadmill desks?<p>Made a huge difference for me. Being able to get in exercise without having to think about made it fundamentally more effective than any other lifestyle change. It&#x27;s also upped my energy level to the point that I seek other forms of exercise and activity.<p>The barrier besides cost and space is getting people to ramp up slowly enough that they are successful and don&#x27;t hurt themselves. A treadmill that automates the amount of walking you do and and takes into account how you report feeling and how much experience you have would make that possible.<p>If your desk provided you feedback and metrics and you gamified it a bit I&#x27;ll bet you could solve the motivation issue for a good chunk of the population. I&#x27;ve encountered many people who haven&#x27;t used a treadmill desk full time who think it wouldn&#x27;t work for them, but never someone who has tried it and failed. I don&#x27;t know how strongly survivor biased that is.<p>I think it&#x27;s a public health issue and it&#x27;s in the best interest of the government and insurers to reduce costs down the road by driving change today. I really think what we are doing today is borrowing from our future selves and society (by way of medicare).
