Office Leg Exercise Machine

My employer is a daily newspaper and they allowed me to set up a leg exercise machine to try out at work and also supported my effort by publishing an article on it.

It bolts onto the centre post of a standard office chair and it was also set up as a test on other workers' chairs and with very good results.

You can type while you exercise your legs. I'm using it right now as I type this.

It is patented but needs improvement work done on it so I'm contacting major exercise machine manufacturers, employee fitness businesses, office chair manufacturers but so far none of them want to venture any help to get it improved and into the office even though workers need it and want it.

Sadly, I'm finding that not everyone who talks the talk about being into employee fitness really walks the walk by expressing any interest in knowing more about it, big names included.

But I'm becoming even more determined to find someone who really is determined to make exercise available at a sedentary worker's office chair, while they type without interference.
