Fitness Enthusiasts Swear By This Walking Pad & It Costs Less Than $170

If you feel like everyone and their mother is telling you to get more steps in, we're here to tell you it's for a good reason. There are a ton of reasons to squeeze in regular walks—but did you know the speed you walk at can make a big difference in the benefits to your longevity?

New research from the UK showed that those who walked faster than 3 miles per hour had a significantly lower risk of all-cause mortality than participants who walked at a slower pace, with a specifically lower risk of dying from from conditions such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory conditions, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

For starters, the treadmill is incredibly compact. It slides seamlessly under any standing desk and can be folded up into an even smaller size for storage. The built-in wheels glide easily throughout your space, and the product itself is very lightweight at just 44 pounds.

Many compact treadmills feel flimsy and uncomfortable to walk on, but shoppers say the 5-layer anti-slip belt is relatively plush and easy on the joints. Even those who rack up 4 to 6 miles per day say the treadmill feels well-made and durable. 

The best part? This under-desk treadmill is incredibly quiet, per reviewers. Many say they use it during conference calls with no distraction (and no comments from co-workers).

With speeds up to 3.8 miles per hour, you can get hit that brisk, longevity-boosting pace—and the remote control makes it very easy to operate.

One Amazon shopper raves that this walking pad is on "the low end of price and high end of quality," adding that they've been using it to walk 5 miles per day for three months so far, with no complaints whatsoever. Another user adds that it's "worth every cent" and "the best way to get your steps in."
