"Let me see you 'work it out'"

"Let me see you 'walk it out'"

First off, I’m all for exercising and while this seems like a great way we could all “use our time wisely,” I’m not so sure I’m a big fan of the “Walkstations”. Zsavonne did a post about this sometime ago, but I found this article in the New York Times and thought it was kind of interesting. According to the NYT article “about 335 Walkstations, have been sold nationwide,”  and a social network for the walkstation fans have blossomed: officewalker.ning.com…as of right now it hails about 30 members (hey, you have to start somewhere).

Seriously, could you even imagine Merlot full of Walkstations??? Yeaaaa not so much…
