Annoyingly when I actually drag myself to the gym I usually end up really enjoying it, but I made the decision to cancel my membership this Christmas to save some money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">I&#8217;d heard a lot of fuss about &#8216;walking pads&#8217; and wanted to purchase one whilst it was reduced and give it a try to get back into a routine. Whilst I was at the gym I often walked on an incline for 30 minutes and usually ended up burning around 300 calories, don&#8217;t get me wrong, it was nothing strenuous but it did the job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">That&#8217;s why I wanted to purchase a walking pad with a slight incline, and came across this <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4pr9qDr\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"4 in 1 Walking Pad with 9% InclineLink opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">4 in 1 Walking Pad with 9% Incline<\/a> reduced from \u00a3169.99 to \u00a399.99 (prices accurate at the time of writing). I can honestly say this product is way worth the hype, and I&#8217;ve already used it way more in a week than I went to the gym in a whole month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">READ MORE: <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/whats-on\/shopping\/amazon-reduces-shark-handheld-vacuum-33156944\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Amazon reduces Shark handheld vacuum &#039;great for car cleaning&#039;Link opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">Amazon reduces Shark handheld vacuum &#8216;great for car cleaning&#8217;<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">READ MORE: <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/whats-on\/shopping\/dunelm-cuts-50-bedding-17-33150568\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Dunelm cuts 50% off bedding to \u00a317 that &#039;stays soft after washing&#039;Link opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">Dunelm cuts 50% off bedding to \u00a317 that &#8216;stays soft after washing&#8217;<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">It&#8217;s incredibly easy to use and isn&#8217;t too big so it&#8217;s easy to store, the only annoying thing is it doesn&#8217;t fold away, so I just balance it against the wall in my conservatory for ease. The incline isn&#8217;t anything mega, but it&#8217;s enough to burn 300 calories in 30 minutes which is what I usually used to do on a &#8217;12 incline&#8217; in the gym.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0_LEC_ESLE1.jpg\" alt=\"I've been using the walking pad every day \" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>I&#8217;ve been using the walking pad every day <\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">You can also lightly jog on the walking pad if you want to, but I prefer to walk because I&#8217;m a bit lazy. It&#8217;s a great way of working up a bit of a sweat in the comfort of your own home, and recently I&#8217;ve been enjoying binging my favourite Netflix shows whilst walking on it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">On the Amazon website, the full product description reads: &#8220;<a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4pr9qDr\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"The FOUSAE walking padLink opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">The FOUSAE walking pad<\/a> is expertly engineered for four core activities: work, walking, jogging, and incline training. It offers precise speed ranges for each use: work at 1-3 km\/h (0.5-1.5 mph), walking at 3\u20135 km\/h (1.5-3 mph), jogging at 5\u201310 km\/h (3-6.2 mph). This versatility effectively meets the daily fitness and wellness needs of busy young professionals and health-conscious middle-aged and elderly users<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;The walking pad can be manually adjusted to increase the slope. A 9% increase in slope can help improve the exercise effect by 50%. Whether it&#8217;s increasing or decreasing the inclination, it only takes one second to adjust, without the cumbersome step of tightening screws. When in use with incline, if each shock-absorbing column is adjusted to touch the ground, the shock-absorbing effect can be enhanced by 50%..&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">It comes with a handy remote control if you want to pause your walking or running or increase your speed, which all adds to the ease of the gadget. It takes a few tries to really get the hang of it in terms of balance, but once you&#8217;ve got it, it&#8217;s a fabulous gadget.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Maybe the novelty will wear off, but I&#8217;ve been using this product every day since I got it. It&#8217;s easy to use and I only need to pop downstairs to burn some calories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\"><a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4pr9qDr\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"You can purchase it here for a reduced price of \u00a399.99Link opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">You can purchase it here for a reduced price of \u00a399.99<\/a> (prices accurate at the time of writing).<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">For a cheaper option that doesn&#8217;t have an incline, Amazon is also selling this Walden Sports 2-in-1 Under Desk Treadmill for \u00a359.98. <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/49gVgyG\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Check it out here.Link opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">Check it out here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I&#8217;ve used this product more times in a week than I&#8217;ve been to the gym in a monthThe&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":218961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[1457,589,163,85,46,5094],"class_list":{"0":"post-218960","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-amazon","9":"tag-fitness","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-il","12":"tag-israel","13":"tag-shopping"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
