WORK HISTORY

ABOUT JIM ALEXANDER

This device has the potential to increase the number of ‘steps’ workers could accumulate during their work day, while seated, and without impeding their keyboarding duties. Keyboarding is no problem, and you can stay seated in your office chair while exercising. Imagine you’re sitting on a boat dock at the lake, paddling your legs back and forth with your lap top computer balanced on your knees. Relax; its not a \'bicycle movement\', your knees stay in the same plane and don\'t move up and down, so knee movement won\'t drop your laptop into the lake. Please also read the comments of users who have tried it out and watch the videos showing it in use. The present working model needs several improvements, but even as-is it has demonstrated office workers like using it. It can increase leg movement while sitting and typing by exercising them against adjustable resistance. That alone is good. It also has the potential of being used to prove activity thereby lessening health care premiums for U.S. employees who wear activity-recording devices such as Apple, Garmin, FitBit and others. However, if your doctor or physiotherapist has warned you against paddling your legs in the lake, you may not be able to take advantage of this innovation to increase your movement while seated. Prior to large-scale manufacturing and sales, employers and health insurance providers must know this has thorough guidelines on healthy use of the device in order to avoid any possibility of repetitive work injury of employees. The working model of my portable leg exercise unit bolts quickly onto the center post of a standard office chair and allows the user to move their legs against independent resistance in both directions without impairing their ability to keyboard. The videos show you can work your legs and keyboard at the same time. Sitting Disease brings harm, and that\'s one of the reasons I’ve built a working model of a leg exerciser that can give seated office workers more opportunity to move their legs than just getting to the water cooler or printer, however, the main reason I built it was to facilitate physiotherapy exercises for treatment of re-occurring knee pain. I\'m open to suggestions, but it looks like taking orders based on a new model reflecting the improvements users requested will determine for certain that this is a market winner. Contact me to participate in improving the working model or if you would like to own the I.P.
