A walking pad is a small, easy-to-carry treadmill that allows you to walk or jog lightly indoors without taking up a lot of space.
It is usually a narrow, flat tread that can be placed on the ground.
Most people spend a large part of their day sitting.
This is bad for your back, hips and waist, among other things.
Seat cushions, as well as regular exercise, can help.
And this is where the Walking Pad comes into play.
The World Health Organization recommends adults get 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week.
Walking pads are ideal for a more active everyday life, especially for people who are pressed for time or who sit a lot.
Compact and flexible to use – whether under the desk or in the living room.
Walking pads are also easy to store, making them perfect for home offices or small apartments.

These recommendations are intended to help you find a walking pad that best suits your needs and available space.

Can you also walk on a walking pad?
Walking pads are primarily designed for walking - with speeds typically reaching up to 6 km/h, which for many users is sufficient for light to moderate exercise while working.
They are not necessarily intended for intense cardio training or for significantly improving fitness, as they are limited in speed and workout variety compared to traditional treadmills.
