Had to pick between a standing desk or a walking pad this month

I went with the walking pad because my lower back was screaming after 6 months of sitting, but now I'm walking at 1.5 mph during calls and actually finishing my notes instead of zoning out, has anyone else tried pairing theirs with a cheap riser?

Bought a cheap $30 laptop riser off Amazon and it made all the difference. Keeps my screen at eye level while I'm shuffling along on the walking pad. Took a week to get the speed right - too fast and I'm bouncing, too slow and I'm bored. Now I cruise at about 2 mph during passive calls and crank it up to 3 during podcasts. Just watch your posture, your shoulders will want to slump forward after 20 minutes.

My walking pad is basically a very expensive clothes rack at this point.
