    A treadmill desk is great. I built one that also tilts, because I originally intended to use the desk in a reclining position like this one:

    I didn't really like looking at the monitors while reclining, so I ended up putting a treadmill under the desk. I really like having the option to sit, stand, or use the treadmill while trading. I don't use the treadmill while trading very much, but I do spend a lot of time standing. Not sitting has helped ease a lot of aches and pains in my back, neck and shoulders.

    Here's what I ended up with. The first video just shows the tilt, while the second shows the desk being raised and the treadmill access/operation. I strengthened the handrails after I made the video.
