The Kitopa walking pad is made of alloy steel and features a 2.5 horsepower motor, good for walking speeds (or maybe even a light jog) of up to 6kph.
With its 120kg weight limit, it’s up there with the best options on the market. It doesn’t fold flat like some options, but it can be stored upright to save space when it’s not in use.
When it comes to your health, staying seated for too long can be really detrimental. But while the effects of sitting down for too long are quite well known, did you know that standing for more than two hours at a time can also increase your risk of some circulatory diseases? A walking pad can be used with the best standing desks out there to help you get your steps in during the working day, perfect if you work from home or even in an office.
When you’re off the clock, you can even get your steps in while watching TV or making phone calls. 10,000 steps in miles is about five miles for most people, so having the opportunity to do some walking during the day can really help you make a dent in your fitness goals. What’s more, a walking pad can be the perfect alternative to walking outside in the dark.
