We all know we should move more, but fitting regular exercise into a busy day is easier said than done. That\u2019s why walking pads have become so popular.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been thinking about buying one, you\u2019re in luck. Aldi is bringing back its popular walking pad, offering a budget-friendly way to increase your step count while you work, take calls or watch TV.<\/p>\n

Why walking pads have become so popular<\/p>\n

Walking pads<\/a> have become all the rage for a good reason. They\u2019re compact, easy to use, and let you fit extra movement into your day while you work.<\/p>\n

This is especially appealing for anyone who spends most of their day sitting at a desk. It\u2019s not just useful for people who work from home, though. The low-impact exercise is great for anyone looking for a simple way to increase their step count without leaving the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What shoppers get for $199<\/p>\n

The CRANE Walking Pad will hit ALDI stores as a Special Buy on Saturday 17 October for $199. The walking pad includes a smart LED display that tracks time, speed, distance, calories and steps, plus a remote control for easy operation.<\/p>\n

The timber frame also gives it a more furniture-like look than a traditional treadmill. It comes fully assembled, so you can start using it straight away.<\/p>\n

Key specs:<\/p>\n

2.25HP motor<\/p>\n

Speeds from 0.5 to 6km\/h<\/p>\n

Supports up to 135kg<\/p>\n

Five-layer non-slip belt<\/p>\n

LED display that tracks time, speed, distance, calories and steps<\/p>\n

Remote control and 12 workout programs<\/p>\n

FSC-certified wood frame<\/p>\n

Built-in front rollers<\/p>\n

What people said about previous ALDI walking pads<\/p>\n

If the last walking pad Special Buys at Aldi is any indication, this one is expected to sell out just as fast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the last sale, Redditors<\/a> shared how quickly the walking pad sold out at some stores.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly had 4 delivered to my store; it was sold out 60 min into trade,\u201d said one person.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those who wanted one said the wood trim was a big drawcard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just wanted it today, and also the Wood trim is aesthetically pleasing,\u201d said a commenter who missed out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Others who got their hands on one were singing its praises.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One owner wrote: \u201cI use it in Microsoft Teams meetings, and the other people in the meeting cannot hear it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another added: \u201cDefinitely recommend for someone chained to a desk all day to keep moving and get the steps in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most owners were positive about the walking pad, although some noted a few drawbacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s bloody heavy, seems well constructed and is easy enough to turn on its side to get out of the way when my back says \u2018enough\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really small. Might want to be mindful of this if you do get it.\u201d<\/p>\n

How it compares to more expensive walking pads<\/p>\n

At $199, Aldi\u2019s CRANE Walking Pad<\/a> is priced similarly to budget favourites, such as the Everfit ($188)<\/a> and the Yagud 3-1 walking pad ($199).\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Spending more usually means more features. For example, the TOPUTURE WalkingPad<\/a> ($459, currently on sale for $339) offers an incline of up to 12% and speeds up to 12km\/h.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the premium end, the Lifespan Fitness WalkingPad M2 ($679)<\/a> features a double-fold design, a brushless motor and extra cushioning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But if your main goal is simply to get more steps in while working or watching TV, the ALDI Walking Pad covers the essentials.<\/p>\n

New fitness products arriving at ALDI<\/p>\n

Aldi is also launching a range of other fitness products, including:<\/p>\n

Vibration Plate ($59.99)<\/p>\n

Push-Up Board ($14.99)<\/p>\n

Running Vest ($12.99)<\/p>\n

Running Headlamp ($12.99)<\/p>\n

Exercise Mat ($12.99)<\/p>\n

Massage Roller Set ($12.99)<\/p>\n

When and where to buy<\/p>\n

The CRANE Walking Pad<\/a> will be available at Aldi stores from October 17 as part of the retailer\u2019s Special Buys range, while stocks last.<\/p>\n
