Struggling to get your steps in in the extreme heat? Don\u2019t beat yourself up: Try a walking pad<\/a> instead. Also known as an under-desk treadmill<\/a>, it\u2019s a portable machine that lets you get some movement from the comfort of your air-conditioned home. If you\u2019re curious about trying one of these home devices for yourself, we just spotted a popular model from the brand Yagud<\/a> currently on sale for less than $100.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

That\u2019s a bargain for what one reviewer deems as a savior during \u201cvery hot days<\/a>,\u201d and what another calls a \u201cgame-changer<\/a>\u201d for their health<\/a> by keeping them active and per several reports, even easing back and leg pain. (According to multiple previous HuffPost reports<\/a>, there is indeed a correlation between walking and back pain relief, so these reviewers\u2019 reports are expert-backed!)<\/p>\n

Whether you stick it under your standing desk<\/a> or use it in front of your TV, reviewers say this handy pad <\/a>has inspired them to be more consistently active, and in doing so, feel better in their bodies. <\/strong><\/p>\n

After spending \u201calmost a year\u201d<\/a> debating about getting this pad, one reviewer finally did it, calling the treadmill \u201ca blessing\u201d and crediting their walking routine with easing their chronic back pain, which persisted even after they changed their mattress.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of a sudden, it hit me that I haven\u2019t been having back pain anymore,\u201d they wrote.<\/a> \u201cThe only thing that has changed is that I\u2019ve been walking a lot more, so I\u2019m convinced it was due to not being active enough!<\/p>\n

The pad weighs only 35 pounds (with a capacity of 265 pounds) and goes up to 3.8 miles per hour. Easy to use out of the box, it also comes pre-assembled with a non-slip belt for steady movement, plus a silicone layer to reduce impact on knees, ankles and joints.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several users say this pad fits underneath their beds and sofas for easy storage. The wheels make it simple to move around the home, while the quiet running sound makes it un-disruptive during the day. (Though some mention the treadmill demanding an extension cord or a plastic under-mat<\/a>, so it won\u2019t overheat on a carpet.) <\/p>\n

The LED display gives real-time numbers on your time, distance, steps and more, while the remote control lets you adjust the speed as you\u2019re moving. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe speed goes up to 3.8 mph which at first I thought that was kinda low, but it\u2019s actually perfect,\u201d one review said<\/a>. \u201cI walk at 3.0 and work my way up to 3.5, I walk at least 1 mile, but aim for 2 most mornings (3 total for the day) and I work up a huge sweat.\u201d <\/p>\n

Overall, users say having this pad has inspired them to be more active, especially when they don\u2019t want to go outside. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a wonderful purchase. I am 6\u20321\u2033 and weigh 250 lbs. I had a problem with my foot and for recovery I was recommended to walk. In the heat of summer you can\u2019t go out, but with this purchase I can walk as much as I want at home. Excellent machine<\/strong>.\u201d \u2014 Edgar de la vega<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSince using this walking pat treadmill, I have noticed an increase in my energy levels and productivity.<\/strong> It allows me to stay active even when I don\u2019t have time to go to the gym during a busy workday. It also helps reduce the stiffness and back pain I previously had from sitting all day.<\/strong>\u201d \u2014 Taylor<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t beat the price or the quality of this treadmill. I\u2019m a very active 70 year old female and in South Florida the heat in the summer keeps you from exercising outside.<\/strong> I\u2019ve looked on Amazon<\/a> it\u2019s so many treadmills but the cost was just prohibitive and the size and weight was prohibited. I came across this treadmill and thought well I\u2019ll give it a try especially after I saw so many good reviews. The the manufacturing team and workers in the plant have come together to create a very well made piece of equipment.<\/strong>\u201d \u2014 Road Carver<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI was apprehensive purchasing this walking pad because of some reviews saying the belt keeps moving to one side and it overheats.
But if you follow instructions it works like a charm.<\/strong> Don\u2019t use it on medium to high pile carpet. The motor will overheat. (There are plastic mats you can get to avoid that). If the belt moves to one side it\u2019s no big deal. It\u2019s super easy to adjust and the instructions are clear. Make sure you lubricate the belt as recommended (even a bit before you start your first walk). Keep in mind this isn\u2019t your \u201cGym\/Cardio\u201d treadmill. It\u2019s a walking pad designed to keep you moving at a pretty good pace while working at your standing desk.
I keep it at 2.3 and can still type etc. If I attend webinars or trainings (where all I have to do is watch and listen) I crank her up to 3.3 or full speed 3.8. It\u2019s been a game changer. Less lower back pain and overall more mobility and energy.<\/strong>\u201d \u2014 TB<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIve been using this treadmill for 2 weeks now, and it has been so good for my hip flexors and leg pain.<\/strong> Its so quiet and very easy to store away after use. Definitely recommend.\u201d \u2014 Nicole<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI am very happy with this product. It came very well packed. Worked right out of the box. Has a time, distance, speed and calories information on the display.<\/strong> Came with little bottles to oil the mechanism as time goes by. I am so glad I chose to purchase. If I had to make one change it would be to make the signal sound it makes when I flip the switch; it has a high pitch that is loud enough to wake the dead. The little light in the switch is sufficient to indicate their is power to the pad. Besides that I LOVE IT!
Side note, I did opt for the insurance but never received any email or information on it. Something I will pursue separately as it has nothing to do with the product which serves my purpose 100%.\u201d \u2014 Sharon K.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
