I’ve tried a lot of home exercise equipment in my life — stationary bikes, ellipticals, a dubious “squat machine,” and so on — but none of it stuck. Within a few months, I’d be on Facebook Marketplace setting up a listing to offload my latest fitness purchase, cursing myself for thinking this time would be different.

Given my history, I probably shouldn’t have bought awalking padfrom Amazon, but I’m so glad I did. It wound up beingthe one, the single piece of exercise equipment I’ve enjoyed using consistently for over a year and a half.

With the ghosts of fitness equipment past in mind, I did not want to splurge on a walking pad, but I didn’t want to get something so “well priced” that it broke. Amazon’sbest-selling treadmillsrange from around $100 to over $2,000, and I wound up settling on a $400 model (currently $379 thanks to an on-site coupon), the Egofit Walker Pro.

Part two was that I genuinely liked this activity. Using the past equipment I bought felt like a chore I needed to complete, but walking was too easy not to do, and the post-treadmill mood boost was addictive.

I’m so glad I finally found something I like doing and can stick with. I would recommendthe Egofit walking padto anyone looking for an under-desk treadmill with the benefit of a light incline. Ultimately, though, what works for everyone’s lifestyles, preferences, and levels of fitness varies — but I think just about everybody could benefit from adding a walking pad to their home or office setup.
