Working out while working? Let VB show you how it's done...

Victoria Beckham is a multitasking pro. She manages a successful fashion line, raises four children and manages to look fabulous every time she leaves the house.

So it makes sense that she'd find a way to combine exercise and emails.

The 39-year-old fashion designer had a chance to try out a treadmill desk this week, and apparently she fell in love.

'Every office should have one of these, work out and work at the same time!! Genius!! X vb,' she tweeted on Wednesday, posting a snap of her in action.

We love the idea of a treadmill desk. The average office worker spends the majority of their day slouching at a computer - and studies have shown that too much sitting can lead to major health problems.

Though we're guessing the recommended footwear for a treadmill desk is not a pair of 5-inch stilettos.

If you want to follow in VB's high-fashion footsteps and get a treadmill desk, you might want to wear trainers, instead. You also might want to start saving: Treadmill desks on Amazon sell for about £1800.
