The stakes have been raised in a local office after the OG Alpha standing desk pilates mum has been one-up’d by the new girl and her walking treadmill at her desk.
The showdown occurred earlier this week when Debbie Foster (42), who has long prided herself on being a good role model for her lazy slob coworkers who insist on sitting down, spotted one of the newer girls in the office opening up a big box.
“I knew something was up the second I saw a crowd building around her as she opened the box” Debbie recounted.
“The second I laid my eyes on it I knew it was game on”
“Burn calories while you work! it’s great” witnesses say they heard a 28 year old Zoe Yule yell as she unboxed a walking treadmill for her desk.
Debbie was left rattled but tried to play it cool by immediately launching into a round of standing desk squats.
By mid-morning, she had shifted into full-blown pilates mode, unrolling a yoga mat next to her desk and performing a shaky downward dog during a Zoom call.
Zoe, unfazed, continued walking at a steady pace of 3.5km/h while casually replying to emails and sipping from a Stanley cup.
Several coworkers have reported an unspoken tension building near the office kitchen, where both women now compete to refill their water bottles more often and with greater urgency.
“At this point, it’s less about fitness and more about dominance” said Craig (40) from accounting.
