People are not just intaking information about the hazards of sitting around day in and day out, they are taking action; the latest being the LSC-Atascocita Library & Learning Center at Lone Star College in Texas. This cultural hub has recently installed a slew of FitDesks that boasts stationary bikes to encourage people to keep moving when studying or researching.
Purchased as part of the CATC initiative, the FitDesks at LSC-Atascocita Library & Learning Center provides free and easy access to activity without compromising productivity. These FitDesks not only benefits visitors, but also the library as a whole. It is a great draw considering that many people have their own personal computers nowadays as well as access to information online.
