Any of you used a walking desk setup for long periods and have success with the setup?

I have a sitting and a standing desk setup. I find standing good because it's easier for me to get off my computer because standing is more tiring than sitting thus forcing me to take breaks. I won't take breaks otherwise, I can't do it.

But what I really want is to take less/minimal breaks and not feel like I need to in the first place.

At first, I fully discredit the idea of a treadmill desk because

>too noisy
>no way you can be precise with a mouse and keyboard
>uses too much power
>will get worn out too quick and require constant repair
>won't be able to focus

But then I was reading about them some more and I realized that everyone uses them at an extremely slow pace, they can low lower than 1mph in increments of .1mph and it's common to use in 1-2mph range. This would be slow enough to be quiet, minimal wear and tear on the machine and yourself, easy to keep your body from bobbing around and won't be noisy.

So, I'm already in shape. The idea isn't to lose weight but instead to just keep moving. Standing in place for long periods leads to pain the legs, feet, lower back and knees. Sitting in place leads to pain in the piriformis muscle, hip tightness and in the mid back.

I can walk all day without much more than slight foot discomfort so it seems like the perfect solution but I haven't actually tried such a setup and have no ability to before jumping in.

So any of you standing desk'ers converting to walking or anyone else?
