I work from home, and around two months ago it dawned on me how little movement there was each day. So I got myself a under desk walking pad. And now I'm doing around 5-8 km each day. It feels great!

And for muscle training, nothing beats a few kettle bells and a rubber mattress in the corner.

i go for actual walks 1-2 hours each day. it's my time to listen to audio books, and when i am immersed in the story i don't even notice how long i am walking.
Can you please say which device you bought?
Not the OP, but I've been using this one for about a year and it has been a great addition to my WFH setup: https://amzn.to/3ZXD88h

For something smaller or cheaper (or if you just prefer cycling movements) they also have some 'peddler' options as well, but I don't have any personal experience with those. Enjoy!

I decided on the Kingsmith Walkingpad A1 Pro.

I chose that one because it folds together when stored, goes to a decent speed (at the max I can have a brisk walk), my stride fits in it (I'm 194cm tall) and it can carry my weight (~90kg).
