Walking Pad?

3 replies

Does anyone have a walking pad that they use consistently and has held up well?

do you have one without handles? Or does getting one with handles make everything easier?

I’ve found a few threads from last year and a lot of the recommendations were random Amazon brands, so was just wondering how they actually hold up.

also, I do walk 10-15k steps per day outside, but due to upcoming job changes my exercise time will only be very early AM or late PM which isn’t very safe for walking alone in the winter, so want to be able to keep my steps up.

thank you

Interested in answers as well, so I can’t comment on specific models.
However I believe that unless you’re placing it under a desk then one with handles is better in case you lose balance or want to go at a faster pace. If you have a desk or it’s near to other furniture/walls then you can use that as balance.
It was the handles issue that stopped me getting one, as I was hoping to have something very slim that would fit under the sofa when not in use, and not a massive treadmill style thing.
Hoping others are able to help!

Yes! That’s also what I’m looking for. Slim enough to store under a sofa or up on its end (but still slim) would be fantastic.

I have the Urevo one on Amazon, I use it with a standing desk. Once you get into the routine it's pretty easy to hit 10k a day. You need to be intentional with it, but I'd say it's not difficult or challenging so there's less of a barrier to me using it.
