I’ve been using the same under-desk treadmill for 9 months — here's my honest take on everything you need to know

After testing the WalkingPad Z1 for 9 months, I can confidently say it’s one of the best under-desk treadmills out there. Every time I work from home, and often if the weather is too bad to get out for a walk, I clock in at least an hour on the treadmill.

I’ve been consistently hitting my 10,000 steps a day goal, and have a lot more energy for it. When the afternoon slump hits at around 3 pm, I know I can unfold the treadmill and get my energy levels back up in no time.
