I've done a lot of thinking while running and walking, but usually jot ideas on a notepad (straddling the treadmill momentarily) or into a digital recorder to go over later. I did a bootcamp with some friends to drop off some writing butt, and then turned to ice water as my writing snack. Sounds strange but it totally works. Now when I get hungry, I'm forced to get up and get something which of course gets me away from my desk, onto my feet and moving more. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700199312336157399.post-30358517327825787172011-04-27T13:15:18.271-07:002011-04-27T13:15:18.271-07:00I wonder if the surf shelf would fit my treadmill?...I wonder if the surf shelf would fit my treadmill? I may have to buy one. Keep me up dated on the static and the sweat danger to the 'puter. I love my 'puter and think of it in the LOTR "my precious" manner as well. Thanks for the info.Susan G.

And I appreciate you not telling my mom :).Jennifer Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03569308594720227530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700199312336157399.post-56563134216128026152011-04-27T06:30:16.333-07:002011-04-27T06:30:16.333-07:00This is a great post!!

(And since I've only met your mom once, you are probably safe from me telling her you used the word "butt" in your title). :)<br /><br />As for what I do to stay in shape while writing - NOTHING!! you have inspired me. I'll need to come up with something; no treadmill & no gym membership but you've given me something to think about. Thanks!!

A couple of times I've propped my laptop up on my treadmill, but it's awkward because you have to keep a hold of it at all times to keep it from slipping. This would definitely get me to exercise more regularly. I'm going to check it out. Will they fit all treadmills I wonder?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Valerie Ipsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958210886138097232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700199312336157399.post-19565859919741425182011-04-26T17:48:11.435-07:002011-04-26T17:48:11.435-07:00Oooh, I'd never heard of SurfShelf so this was...Oooh, I'd never heard of SurfShelf so this was very interesting to me! I have tendonitis, so I can't type on laptops, but writing and walking at the same time sounds fantastic.<br /><br />When I lived in an apartment with a gym, I would read while on the stationary bike. It was a nice way to feel doubly-productive. Now I take breaks by riding a regular bike outside or going on long walks when I'm feeling stuck for inspiration or just need time away from the computer.Sarah Skiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242496273739569661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700199312336157399.post-41163932798443224152011-04-26T07:16:17.562-07:002011-04-26T07:16:17.562-07:00What a great way to get work done and keep in shap...What a great way to get work done and keep in shape! I like to take a book down to the gym in my apartment's basement and just read while I walk (less static electricity) but perhaps I should get a SurfShelf!Andrea Coulterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13478845861604754432noreply@blogger.com
