In many ways, this is a good thing. I love the computer and I love that I have the opportunity to work from home on the Internet. But, being on the computer is a very sedentary hobby. Or at least it use to be, until this box arrived in the mail on Tuesday.
The SurfShelf mounts on nearly any elliptical, treadmill, stairstepper, or stationary bike! We have both an elliptical and a treadmill at home but chose to mount the SurfShelf on our treadmill for numerous reasons. Here it is, all setup and ready to go!
I'm the type that needs to be distracted while working out. If I'm just walking or ellipticaling and watching the time go by, well, time seems to go very slowly. Over the years I've tried many things to distract myself. At EIU, there were mounted TV's that were great! At our local gym, I always brought a magazine for my time on the cardio machines. Since I began trying to meet my fitness goals at home, I've used books on CD, the TV, and magazines. But the SurfShelf, my friends, is the answer to all of my prayers.
I tried the SurfShelf out last night (isn't this the most attractive picture of me ever? haha! Obviously, I don't worry too much about my looks when I'm working out at home...) and I absolutely love this!! I was able to easily scroll through my Google Reader, check the status updates on Facebook and Twitter, and even type a Tweet, all while walking. I don't think I could type while running, but I could definitely read or watch a DVD. I don't see myself grading essays on the treadmill either (too much concentration) but for every day surfing, this is perfect! Now I have no excuse not to walk! I can surf and exercise at the same time!!SurfShelf has graciously agreed to giveaway one SurfShelf to a lucky reader!

and I'm already subscribed to your twitter account
lol, I'm going to try to follow these directions. I graduated summa cum laude, but the instructions are making me feel like a high school drop out hehe. I am subscribed to your blog.
I think this would be great to catch up on my blog reading while I work out on my treadmill (also in my office). I just hope I'm coordinated enough for it lol
Just tweeted about the opportunity. am I doing this right?
See, here is how it goes at my house . . . I ride a stationary bike 3 days a week that has a broken book holder. So in order to watch the shows that make riding the bike somewhat tolerable, I have been propping the laptop up on a shoebox cradled in the broken book holder hoping to heaven that it doesn't fall . . . it is a very precarious situation and if Benny found out he would KILL me. Heehee, here is hoping that he doesn't read your comments:)
alrighty, just sent the email, I'll check back in a little bit to see if you sorted out the link to your button
Subscriber too!
This would be awesome in the basement, so I could do something more productive during my internet "fix". I'm not sure if I can surf and walk at the same time (I walk fast).
Thanks for the great SurfShelf review Jamie. So happy that you love your SurfShelf!
BTW, I've set up a 10% DISCOUNT CODE for your readers who want to purchase a new SurfShelf: surfshelf-stickyfeet

I want that surfshelf sooo bad!
I am addicted to my laptop but I am also addicted to my treadmill. Since I started grad school I have not been too faithful to my treadmill :(
The surfshelf would change my world!!
I forgot to mention that I am following you on twitter (I am @bwJen)
Hey there, I finally got it all done I think. Just added your button and managed a permalink too I think lol. Thanks for your help
Looks very interesting.
Just be very careful missy!!!
We are not the most coordinated bunch..
Love Mom

Wow this looks like a very cool product. I would love one.
I subsribe!!!!
Right now I try to juggle the BB on the treadmill -- this looks much easier! I subscribed and am now following you on Twitter -- I'm @millic.
Thanks for sharing this great product with us Jamie. I'd love to win one! I'm already a subscriber. Enjoy your workouts...Michele in Atlanta
Hi, not sure if I'm making two posts accidentally, but wanted to thank you Jamie for sharing this great product idea with us. I'd love to win one!
I went to Surf Shelf and checked out and it's an absolute dream. At the moment the laptop sits five feet away from the treadmill and I'm always thinking how it would be nice to have a shelf. This is so cool!
I've subscribed to Sticky Feet with your link to my google page. Cool!
I followed you on twitter and also told my followers about this post. Very cool! I'm so excited.
I would benefit because I use my laptop all the time and occasionally it keeps me from exercising. This would end that excuse

I'm a subscriber and I just have to say your mom's comment is the best ever. foodlibrarian
Sounds like you and I spend about the same about of time on the computer! I am not sure if I could exercise and type I might fall down! You are much more coordinated than I am! :)
This would probably help me workout more. I feel like I spend so much time getting things done on the computer, it would be great if I can be on my treadmill too

I have fibromyalgia, so exercising is a challenge and a necessity. I try to use my treadmill or stationary bike most days, and this would definately help give me more motivation, since I could check my email, surf the web, watch a TV show on the net....I would love this!
