In your opinion is walking on threadmill as distracting as standup desk alone or even more?
Even during standing I just don’t focus as well as when sitting. And preferred having ability to do real cardio while still being able to watch something.
I find walking much more natural/enjoyable than standing, though it did take a few days to get used to it. I can now do all but the most cognitively challenging tasks (proving tricky math theorems, doing software architecture) while walking on treadmill desk. Especially for regular coding, walking is much better than sitting.
Standing desks get uncomfortable quickly (under 30 mins), but walking desks are fine for hours. After a while, sitting can become more distracting than walking, because one feels less “free” and grows tired, while walking is a natural stimulant (pretty comparable to coffee in my case).
This might just be me, but as long as you are able to watch something, you are not doing real cardio. :)

Reasonable. I will try out the theadmill as well.
Note that one advantage of eliptical trainer is lower impact on joints.
