Walking treadmill

Does anyone have a walking treadmilland would you recommend?
I'm thinking of getting one that folds away flat. I want to walk more but the practicalities of trying to do it in the evening would mean I'd not be going out until 10pm and I can't go in the morning as I leave early for work as it is.
Just looking for reccomendations....
TIA

Can you not just use the bottom of your staircase as a stepped and move as slowly or as fast as you want on the bottom stair?

^^ stepper not stepped

Interested in this thread?

Or get one of those mini trampoline things? They are easily portable and could go under your bed when not in use?

Look at Lucy Wyndham-Read on YouTube. She has lots of workouts including walking workouts which might be a bit cheaper than forking out for a treadmill.

TBH any of the fold away ones I've seen are really shite.

Thanks for the replies, I'm thinking they are a bit shit then....
I'm desperate to up my fitness and lose some weight, but I HATE excersise.... I do like walking but like I said actually getting out is just not feasible at the min. Also, I'm in a busy city so not the nicest or safest walk late at night....

Lots of the LWR workouts are free, easy and don't require going outside.

Put in some disco music and have half an hour/an hour disco dancing or buy an exercise video that doesn’t have complicated moves but gets you moving around and your heartbeat up!

I'm really not keen to do any workouts.... I just want to walk at speed for an hour each day. I'm a bit gutted that the consensus on the walking treadmills is their rubbish

I’ve also been wondering about this. I like the idea of a walking desk.

Virtually impossible to go for walks alone.

@Neome a fellow walker!
I absolutely hate excersise, I wish I got the buzz and high that some people get, I just don't. I've tried so many things. Walking really is the only thing.
