Embodiment Construction

[0049] Disclosed herein is an athletic device having a table top with a work surface. The exercise device may be a treadmill having a frame, a base plate positioned within the footprint of the frame, and an orbiting drive belt positioned around the base plate. Adjustable tabletops can also be attached to the frame. The table top may include a work surface that pivots out of the path of the running deck so that the deck can be folded up or pivoted to a storage position. As described below, the tabletop can be adjusted in various ways, and can include many other features.

[0050] refer to Figure 1-5 , showing exercise equipment, such as treadmill 100 . The treadmill 100 includes a base frame 102 having a first side member 104 and a second side member 106 spaced apart from the first side member 104 . One or more cross members 108 may extend between side members 104 and 106 to provide base frame 102 with a desired amount of structural rigidity and stability.

Abstract

Exercise devices, and related components and methods are provided. In one embodiment, an exercise device is provided having a frame, treadmill deck and a desk. The treadmill deck is movably coupled with the frame and selectively positionable between a first position wherein a user may run or walk on the treadmill deck, and a second position wherein the deck is placed in a stored position. The deck defines a running path when in the first position. The desk may move between multiple positions, including a first position wherein the desk is placed toward a front portion of the running path, and may even be positioned over a portion of the running path (or at least over a portion of the deck), and a second position where the desk is moved out of the running path. The desk may be adjusted as to height and inclination also.

[0004] Another difficulty people face in staying in shape is the amount of time they spend in sedentary activities. For example, many people work in an office environment where they sit at a desk for 8 hours or more per ...
