It's hard to stay fit for those who are among the hundreds of millions who spend the majority of their days seated at a desk, but the XDesk Velo is an office chair that makes staying fit while working a lot easier. The stool, which is compatible with XDesk's standing desk, is a stationary bike that throws away the handlebars, letting consumers pedal while they type.
Beyond offering a means of staying fit when one would otherwise be sedentary, the XDesk Velo also tracks things like distance traveled, calories burned, workout duration, and more. This data gets uploaded via a Bluetooth connection onto the Velo Club platform, an app and desktop program, and can also be transferred to other popular fitness tracking apps like Strava.
