Holidays bring those inevitable platters piled high with tasty treats, but the truth is you don’t have to run for the hills or cram into a sweaty gym session in the dead of winter. The SPERAX Walking Pad, priced at $149.99 (was $209.99), a compact treadmill designed to squeeze under your desk or out of sight in a corner, can whip those idle hours into a steady walking routine right in your own living room.
When you pull the thing out, the dimensions are 51.2 by 20.5 inches, but it’s a breeze to fold in half and shove it behind a door or in a closet. It comes in at a relatively light 27 lbs and rolls on wheels, while the top speed is a leisurely 3.8 mph, which is perfect for catching up on phone calls or watching an endless string of TV shows. It’s powered by a very quiet 2.25 horsepower motor that hums along at a volume that’s below conversation level. An LED display keeps up with time, distance, calories burnt and speed, without needing to sync your phone, though the remote lets you take control from a distance of up to 16 feet.

It’s also pretty low to the ground – only 4.7 inches high – which makes stepping on it a breeze. The surface is 41 by 15.7 inches, and the belt has a nice non-slip texture to keep your foot from sliding around while you are in the middle of a long walk. There’s also seriously good vibration control in the form of shock-absorbing layers underneath, which cuts down on the jarring in your knees after a longish session on the thing.
When the holiday season rolls around, it’s best to have gear that just seems to blend into family life. Assembly takes less than 30 minutes if you’ve got the right tools, & the no-slip base keeps it in its place on hardwood or rugs. You can nudge up the speed in .1 mph increments with the remote buttons, so you can just ease on into it or pick up the pace. Users swear that even after an hour on the thing the motor is still running cool, no hot spots to be seen to detract from binge watching.
Maintenance is about as easy as it gets – just a bit of belt lubrication this side of forever & a five minute wipe down every now & then to keep it running like clockwork.
