Leo's Crap! (But sometimes it's something good. Occassionally, very good!)

Turns out Leo's gadget is quite a piece of equipment. While we were recording this show Leo looked like he was getting warmer and warmer. I noticed a bit of sweat gathering on his forehead. There had been a bit of secrecy about Leo’s gadget for the day. I suspected he was doing something under his desk, like walking on a treadmill to generate electricity to run his computer. It turned out I (and a few in the chat room) were almost right. Leo was walking on a treadmill since we started recording the show, but not to generate electricity. Leo was on the Lifespan Fitness TR1200-DT5 Treadmill Desk. No one watching, including me, could see below the top of Leo's desk, so we didn't know until the reveal what his gadget was. The Lifespan Fitness Desk TR1200-DT5 is a way to work and exercise at the same time. It can used for folks of different heights and the desk has a manual height adjustment. There’s a lot more info at the company website. JammerB found the Lifespan Fitness TR1200-DT5 desk on Woot at a bargain price for a piece of equipment like this. Instead of $1500, it was priced at $999.00. Thinking a healthy employee is a better employee; Leo bought the desk to demo on the Giz Wiz show, and said that JammerB could take it home to use as a way to lose weight and keep in shape! Now that’s a great boss!
I see it for $1260.00 on Amazon, and it's Amazon Prime, so free shipping for Prime members:

(This is a Giz Wiz link. If you decide to buy one, you pay the same price, but Giz Wiz Biz, gets a pittance to buy more stuff for The Giz Wiz. Thank you.)
