Under Desk Exercise Gear?

Despite 30 minutes of cardio every morning I'm having some trouble losing that last 5lbs of weight before summer.  (yes, I lift too)  I've got a standing desk at work, but it would be a bit socially awkward to put a under-desk treadmill there given their size.  What are good other options?  Stair steppers? Under desk exercise bikes?  Something else?  I'm not looking for a full-on cardio replacement here, I'm just looking for something to keep my heart-rate a little above resting at work and burn a couple hundred extra calories a day without getting sweaty.


If it matters, I'll be wearing sneaker/dress shoe hybrids, so I'm not worried about ruining nice shoes while doing this.

I have plenty other nice under-desk activities in mind ....

Easy there Mr. Clinton...

Balance board.  You will be shocked how many calories those things burn.

I read this comment , and it jogged my memory.  I went into a pile of junk that one of the PMs left behind when he left and found one.  After a couple days it feels like it's working.  Many thanks.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

Under desk treadmills are relatively compact.
