Walking Pads - Useless or Useful?!

[SpringGlade004]

Hi..Just looking for some honest opinions on Walking Pads please. I have a dog so I obviously get an ok amount of steps in with that but on days where the weather is bad, I don’t want to be out alone etc and/or I just want to round up my steps to a better number are they any good? I see a lot of them go up to 6km/h. Is this enough to ‘make it count’? And with a good diet is there any chance they can help you lose weight? Thanks in advance 🙃

Never heard of one. Is it like a treadmill?

[SpringGlade004]

Yes kind of! No handles etc..just a conveyor belt essentially! A lot of people use them under a raised desk if they work from home so that they aren’t sedentary all day.

Ooo interested in this too! Desperate to start shifting some weight and getting my steps up big time. Also curious if 6km/h is enough to make it count?

So I’ve since found out @SKBog , that my friend has one that goes up to 6km/h - she sent me a video of her on it and honestly even 4km/h was a fast walking pace! So I’d say 6km/h is more of a jog depending on your stride! Surely that has to make a difference?!
