I love how you focused on the fitness benefits of this and not just weight loss 🥰

Superb presentation. By far the best video I have seen about having a walking pad. I've been looking at these, web-searching specs, prices etc. and have mostly found unboxings, AI-generated junk ads and such. But you offer genuine insight as to what the experience of using one might be like, with a great mix of objective observations and subjective impressions. Thank you!

[vileindigo]

I really appreciate all of the considerations that you shared, like weight inclusivity, being able to use your existing desk, cushion level for knee healtg, and maintenance.

Love loved love your video review of this experience. Especially the detailed thoughts down to talking about shoes vs socks and the time you were comfortable with socks. Wow. I had those questions but didn’t feel like searching for answers. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video. It truly came in at the right time. The semester is about to start and so I wanted to incorporate more activity like walking so while studying. I was looking for something with to place an iPad because I didn’t want to purchase a new desk with adjustable height but this works. Thanks for the tip with the Apple Watch on the ankle because I felt like I did more work than what the watch said I did.

You are so real for this! I do this too watch anime while working out . While walking and cycling!💜💜💜

My sister just got hers last month, I’m waiting until February to buy mine, I can’t wait thanks for the video❤

I have a walking/running pad, and if you get that speed up, you will not feel like you need to go to the gym. Also, there are pads that have an incline option. I love the walking pad for the winter months.

Damn I’m early af… might as well comment for the algorithm ❤ looking great!

[FineNaturalHairROCKS]

Wow, this is such a great video! I never thought about putting the apple fitness watch on my ankle for greater accuracy with my steps. Thanks for sharing that awesome tip! and this video!

I WFH and got one last year in October. I experienced the same as far as using it while I worked. I really couldn't do anything above 1.0mph of even 0.8mph and type, write, copy/paste at the same time. But it kept ne standing more, so a plus

Okay! girl I see Pluto and Monster! I love the author so much and their anime adaptions is amazing! I'm planning to get a walking pad too and checking people videos out! I'm so glad I saw your channel! bc that's my plan too! watch my favorite shows while walking instead of laying down.

[mdubbgaming]

Fitness, health, AND an anime lover? Love it! Take this sub. 😎

[MaddieFishblob]

12:20 that’s me but cuz I walk while watching, 3 hrs will pass and I can’t stop moving cuz I NEED to see how the show ends 😂.
Wish I had a walking pad tho - I just hold my iPad up in front of me and walk in circles around the living room lol

[StarLababy]

Thats what I want the walking pad for, when I watch tv since I work outside the house 👍🏽

[mechellestudio]

Im choosing the DeerRun A1 walking pad/treadmill

[emtqt]

I really enjoyed this video. Very detailed.😊

[ThatOneWeirdGal]

I would recommend a longer and wider one that is a lot quieter. This is not the best one. This brand has terrible reviews as well, with people saying the belt veers to the right or left and constantly has to be adjusted. It's worth it to spend a bit more money on a better one. There are actually cheaper ones by more reputable brands. Ureka, DeerRun, and Walking Pad, are all good brands.

This video came at such a great time Ashley! I'm trying to get more steps in and was thinking of investing in a walking pad. You've covered everything in such great detail x
Do you find that it's noisy at all?
