Struggling to get your steps in in the extreme heat? Don’t beat yourself up: Try a walking pad instead. Also known as an under-desk treadmill, it’s a portable machine that lets you get some movement from the comfort of your air-conditioned home. If you’re curious about trying one of these home devices for yourself, we just spotted a popular model from the brand Yagud currently on sale for less than $100.
That’s a sbargain for what one reviewer deems as a savior during “very hot days,” and what another calls a “game-changer” for their health by keeping them active and per several reports, even easing back and leg pain. (According to multiple previous HuffPost reports, there is indeed a correlation between walking and back pain relief, so these reviewers’ reports are expert-backed!)
Whether you stick it under your standing desk or use it in front of your TV, reviewers say this handy pad has inspired them to be more consistently active, and in doing so, feel better in their bodies.
After spending “almost a year” debating about getting this pad, one reviewer finally did it, calling the treadmill “a blessing” and crediting their walking routine with easing their chronic back pain, which persisted even after they changed their mattress.
