As a child we all might have dreamed of our ideal jobs. ‘What I want to be when I grow old’ plagues every child world over. Doctor, Scientist, Teacher, Painter…. childhood lets us dream of conquering the world. But, adulthood brings us in touch with harsh reality of life- no one ends up living a life one dreams of or plans for (exempting the exceptions). In the end, most land a mundane desk job instead of the larger than life (seemingly action packed) jobs one had dreamed of as a child.
Desk jobs have been mandated and sanctioned by technology. Office jobs equals to desk job. But then, they are well paying jobs! Yes, they are for a reason-it takes a toll on your health, steadily and stealthily! The long hours of sitting (and, of course some other factors, as well) has contributed to the rise in ‘lifestyle diseases'(a term our ancestors fail to relate to). Diabetes, infertility, hormonal imbalance, weak eyesight, the ever aching back…the list is pretty long.
But then, what does one do? Resign? And,survive on what? Air? Well, that is extreme which one has to resort to when one is left with no choice. Instead, get Cubii!
Arnav Dalmia (co-founder of Cubii) decide to take things in his hands and change the scene at offices. His desk job inspired him to design Cubii-one of a kind, under desk elliptical.
So, you do not get much of a break to do the staircase routine? Neither much time to walk around? Cubii would take care of that. It would keep your body active without your body and mind realizing. It is an elliptical machine which can be discreetly tucked beneath the desk. But pedaling means noise and sweating which means disturbance! None of that would ever happen. It is silent and the pedals are at an angle which guarantee a comfortable pace at which the user can move their leg.
But then, how would I keep a track on my leg movement? Right on your phone’s screen. It syncs with your phone’s existing fitness tracker and has an app of it’s own, as well.
The best part-Cubii has gone green. Pedal 150 K and charge your phone by way of doing that. Pedal for 100 K and power Cubii’s Bluetooth. What if I hit my leg beneath the desk? You won’t. What if I switch office? Carry it along.Must be expensive. NO! Your lazy soul wants a way out of Cubii as it would kick inactivity out of the desk job.
Say hello to healthy working conditions.
