If you’re not getting your steps in, don’t beat yourself up about it: Try a portable treadmill instead. Also known as under-desk treadmills or walking pads, these minimal machines are meant for taking leisurely walks indoors, whether underneath your standing desk or in front of a television set. They also help dodge bad weather and get your blood pumping instantly.
If you’ve always wanted to try one or need a way to optimize your health, we found a walking pad at a jaw-dropping price of just under $100. Right now, this walking pad is only $99.99. That’s a solid price for what reviewers say has made a “huge difference” for their health and evenings, been a big relief for their back pain and is, overall, “an absolute gem.”

This particular model can handle speeds up to 3.8 MPH, making it great for anyone who wants to walk at a slow pace without amping up into a run. It has a non-slip belt for staying steady and balanced, it’s layered with silicone to reduce impact on muscles, ankles and joints, and it has two front wheels to help move it around your space.
To operate, you just plug it in and use the included remote control. An LED screen at the top of the pad tells you when it’s powered on and how fast it’s going, while you can adjust its speed using the controller.

Take a look at what happy reviewers say about this nifty gadget below, and make sure to grab one at its low price today.
“This was what I needed after my back surgery, so I could keep moving. The weather has been bad here in Colorado so I could not get out to walk. The length would not work for someone serious about fast or running. The remote and settings work great. I did buy the desk to help with my balance and is nice to set laptop on or a book.” — RLN
“Y’all I really needed this to help me reach my steps daily. I have been researching walking pads for awhile for one to fit my space. As much as I wanted one with a desk or handles this one fit the space in my living room. It’s easy to store away. It’s quiet enough that my husband can watch TV while I use it! I definitely can’t blame the weather or whether it’s too dark to walk outside. I like the idea that if I want to move at a faster or slower pace I can. Its top speed is 3.8. I was used to walking on a treadmill at work and this definitely took some time to adjust to slimmer space, but it’s worth it. It comes with a remote that has a strap on it to have around your wrist.” — Amazon Customer
“I bought this for my wife who had heart surgery last year and her doctor said to exercise and walk a lot. After it got too cold to walk outside, I bought her this Orinar Walking Pad to use inside. She loves it! It’s so quiet, you can barely hear it when walking and watching TV. The display screen shows time walked, distance, speed, and calories burned...everything she needs to know easily viewed while walking. Light enough to move easily. Great purchase and great value!” — Glenn F from McLean, VA
“I liked the design. Small with rollers on front to move. It is a bit heavy when picking up but I think that’s good. Shows sturdiness. Easy to use. Simply plug up, use remote to regulate speed. Big display shows distance, time and speed. I use it on rainy days or while watching tv. Not too loud. Comfortable to walk on. No issues with belt slippage. Came with oil for belt when it needs lubricant. I like it! Great little walking mat to keep you moving and off that chair or couch, lol! And it was a great price at around $150.” — Crystal Rodgers
“I got this for the house as I spend most of my day sitting at work. Being able to get on this while watching a show or two in the evenings has made a huge difference. It’s super easy to use and fits perfectly under the sofa. It has various different levels from a slow walk to a jog. I think it’s definitely worth the money!” — Montgomery
