Building a treadmill desk

Unless the monitor arm needs to be mounted to a horizontal surface. I was envisioning something with a fixed back panel/support leg/whatever, with the hinges attached to it to be able to tilt up the table. You could even have the very forward part of the table top (maybe 3 inches or so) be horizontal, and attach the hinges there for the table top. Part of the idea of the hinged table is that it would allow for walking on the treadmill without the table being in the way.

Or am I over-engineering this?
