Can you run on a walking pad?
Walking pads aren’t designed for running and most pads won’t have speed settings that allow you to run quickly. However, if you feel safe without anything to hold on to, it is possible to jog on a walking pad, with most walking pads going up to a speed of 6km/hour. Check with the manufacturer of the walking pad you want to buy or have bought to see if it’s safe to run on it.
Are walking pads any good?
Walking pads are a really convenient and space-effective way of getting some exercise in at home. They’re generally compact and foldable so you can store them easily, as well as slot them under your desk when you’re using them. Priyankaa Joshi, Senior Health and Fitness Writer at Women’s Health tried a walking pad and said that her walking pad “did wonders for my creativity, energy and focus.”
Can you use a walking pad on carpet?
Most walking pads are suitable for use on carpet. However, if your carpet is very thick, this might affect the stability of the walking pad, which could be potentially dangerous. If you’re worried about the mat imprinting or damaging your carpet, invest in a treadmill mat to go underneath it.
