If you’re in a committed relationship with your smartwatch or your fitness ring, you get it: Hitting your daily step goal is, um, everything. But even if you're not on the bandwagon for constant health-app alerts, you can likely relate to the urge to move your body each day. The only problem? From inclement weather, to busy schedules, to feeling sluggish, lacing up and getting out the door can feel like a challenge.
That’s where walking pads come in. They’re like treadmills, but far more compact, space-saving, and portable, which means you don’t have to totally overhaul your space to own one. Whether you’re multitasking at your desk, catching up on your favorite show, or squeezing in movement while dinner’s in the oven, these space-saving machines help you get your steps in without going outside.
And walking pads aren’t just accessible from a square-footage standpoint—the price point feels within reach, too. Walmart has a range of budget-friendly options that make it easier than ever to stay active indoors, and they're all on major sale (like, up to 75 percent off) right now. Think: under-desk treads that slide seamlessly into your workspace, foldable designs that even the smallest apartments can accommodate, and quiet pads that pair beautifully with Zoom calls.
We’ve rounded up the best walking pads from Walmart to help you find the right fit for your space, budget, and fitness goals—so you can get your daily movement in (with or without the wearable tech to prove it) without ever leaving home.
