Just wanted to come on here to share my excitement! I spent most of 2023 with an injury which prevented me from doing a lot of sports I love! However, one thing I can do is walk and I could walk for hours/ days and I've used it to get me through many a mental battle during injury. Problem is when co-parent my LO I can't get out as much so for 4/5 days I don't do much and it gets me down, so after a lot of putting a walking pad/ treadmill in my basket and taking it out trying to justify the cost I've finally given in and got myself a walking pad and I'm so full of excitement and hope to be able to get some steps in of an evening when I have my little one! Just had to share my happy news and see if anyone has had one and can help me justify spending on such a purchase!?

Hi I have been thinking about it and have had it in my Amazon basket for weeks. Can you share a link to the one you use pls? Thanks

Congratulation! I bought a walking pad just before Christmas and I really like it. Mine is set up so that I can watch tv and walk and that works well for me and make the minutes fly by.

I do find that it takes me a couple of minutes to regain my 'land legs' when I get off of the pad though but that may just be me as I have a notoriously bad sense of balance!

I think mine is due to arrive next week. I'm planning a walking desk but need to wait until I can afford the bit that'll raise my very heavy desk.

Looking forward to trying it out.
