A working from home hack from TikTok user Reagan Poltrock, also known as @the.treadmill.girl has had over 6.5 million views on the social media platform. Reagan works from home, and has amassed over 1.2 million likes for her videos, which document her use of an under-the-desk treadmill over the past year, which she says has, "Completely changed my life, mentally, physically, there are so many benefits."

In the over text on the video, Reagan says, "Does using an under the Desk Treadmill even DO anything...?" The video then jumps to a screen grab of her smartwatch which claims she's walked 31,074 steps which equates to 15.14 miles.

One user expressed what many others thought, "Well the watch calculates steps and calorie loss under the assumption that you are doing a full walking motion. The numbers aren't accurate", to which Reagan replied, "I am doing a full walking motion haha. It's not a sitting pedal, it's a treadmill" to which the user replied, "Ahhhh."

In an article for health insurance company BUPA, Senior Musculoskeletal and Pelvic Health Specialist Physiotherapist Lucie O'Shaughnessy suggests these other exercises you can do at your desk to help keep you limber and nimble:

She also recommends taking regular breaks.

One user took inspiration from Reagan, "Bought a treadmill because of your videos. Was so much more productive working and walking and had 14,000 steps in before lunch. Feels amazing!" while another user also approved, "As a physical activity researcher and physio, I 1000% approve of these!! Replacing sedentary time with any PA is 😚 🤌."
