Anyone want to shill me on a walking pad (treadmill) to use under my desk when I work?

No complaints about this one I bought two years ago. Though I only actively used it for about a month when my son was a newborn, then life got in the way and it’s collecting dust somewhere in the house. 🙃

General advice for any treadmill: try walking near your desk in standing mode before you buy anything.

The desk wobble can vary greatly and may even affect your monitor(s). These minor annoyances can ruin the vibe of the setup and lead you to buying a dud.

All this to say I did manage to enjoy walking when I used it.

Thanks for the rec

I've teetered on yes i'll get one or no

I have a gym membership and go 2-3 times a week. I also have a standing desk, but tended to stand for too long at a time & have a really ergo chair. So I decided to just sit all day. Standing too long killed my knees and back.

I'm thinking about the walking pad again because on non-gym days I rarely make my 8k step goal.
