I had an unpleasant walk again today and someone advised me to buy a walking pad - like a baby version of a treadmill but smaller and cheaper.
I am thinking this sounds not durable but then I'm only walking after all and not running.
I don't suppose anyone here has tried one?
I'm not sure how to gauge how much daily use one could take. . . Like in hours? Is there a horsepower figure that I should look for?
I see they have things like max speed and user weight limits but I would think some piddly little motor would over heat or something under strain. I really am talking out of my head here I guess.
Joining a gym is not out of the question but having never been to one it isn't high on my list of "must do" activities. Perhaps it isn't as bad as I picture but. . .
It isn't out of the question to assume I'm too clumsy for a treadmill either. I prefer the ground for a reason and I trip plenty there. (Miserable ankles).
