#walking-pad

Working from home used to be an extraordinary concession in extraordinary times-namely, the Covid-19 pandemic that kept us all in our jammies for at least the better part of a year. While many of us have returned to the office to some extent, some vestiges remain. That includes the enduring popularity of at-home walking pads. They're compact, affordable treadmills that you can slide under a standing desk to rack up some miles and improve your focus while you work.

Sitting at a desk for at least eight hours a day is the reality for most remote workers today. But what if you could keep moving while working? That's exactly the question that inspired Johannes Kettmann, a software developer from Berlin who knows firsthand the challenge of hitting those 10,000 steps per day while working a remote desk job. The result is the Office Walker, a minimalist walking pad designed for simplicity, silence, and long-lasting durability.

You may, like me, have long been wondering if it's worth investing in a walking pad to use at home. Whether you work from home or are simply looking to increase your steps in a low-key way, an at-home treadmill you can use under your desk or while you talk on the phone or watch TV could really upgrade your life.
