If you live on TikTok (as I do), you’ve probably seen the girlies rave about walking pads, and I’m not gonna lie — I really vibe with them. As someone who works from home two days a week and is homebody-adjacent, I really struggle to fit in enough steps during my day, especially when my smartwatch passive-aggressively reminds me to move or CLOSE YOUR RINGS.
Walking pads are the perfect solution to compensate for my less-than-ideal exercise routine. Not only can I stride as I do some admin work or listen to a meeting, but I also feel like it helps increase my productivity and focus. I’m a gal who gets distracted easily, so if my body is busy walking, my mind can focus on the task at hand. That’s not science, that’s just my constant need to be doing multiple things at once.
