Walkstation Ergonomic Tips
Ergonomic tips for healthy working and walking:
• Remember to maintain an active upright walking posture.

• Your keyboard should be at elbow level with your wrist in a neutral position.
• Place your mouse at elbow level near to your keyboard.
• Your phone should be at elbow level next to your keyboard.
Use of a headset while operating the Walkstation is strongly suggested.
• Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes that provide suitable support for walking.

If at any time during the session you feel faint, dizzy, or experience pain,
stop and consult your physician.
• Thoroughly stretch and warm up before operating the Walkstation;
• Follow a training / ramp-up schedule. Most people utilize the Walkstation
at 1 mph (range of 0.3 – 2 mph). It is about comfort, NOT speed.
