<p>This is one of those rare reviews where I&rsquo;m writing while using the product itself - <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/fitness/foldable-walking-treadmill-c2-by-walkingpad">WalkingPad C2</a>. A walking pad is essentially another name for a foldable treadmill that fits under your desk. It sells itself as a great way to get those 10,000 steps while you&rsquo;re at your desk.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Does it live up to the billing? Let&rsquo;s jump on and find out.</p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1hepni8fd1s">The Box Opening and Unfolding</h2>
<p>It arrives in the usual box, but it&rsquo;s smaller than you might expect. The reason will become clear later, but the opening itself is drama-free with a few bits and pieces alongside the WalkingPad.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The first thing that becomes apparent (and the reason for the smaller box size) is that it&rsquo;s folded in half. <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/brand/walkingpad">The WalkingPad</a> is easy to open up and move into position. The setup is just as easy. Once you plug it in, it all becomes intuitive - but the instruction manual is simple enough to follow if you ever get stuck.</p>

<h2 id="mcetoc_1hepni8fd1t">Getting Started</h2>
<p>There were a couple of fumbles when I got started with this WalkingPad. The first was to figure out the app - which is needed as part of the whole setup process. The second fumble was with the remote - I had completely forgotten about the batteries!</p>

<p>Once those small issues were fixed, it was a painless process to get going. There are two settings you could use - manual or automatic. I generally preferred the manual setting as it gave me more control over the treadmill speed.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s a few features to bear in mind with this <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/fitness/foldable-walking-treadmill-c2-by-walkingpad">WalkingPad C2</a> model:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Up to 4 MPH</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Two control modes: Remote or smartphone app</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">LED display</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Wheels for easy storage</li>
</ul>
<p>Overall, it&rsquo;s a seamless experience in terms of the setup!</p>

<h2 id="mcetoc_1hepni8fd1u">Everyday Use</h2>
<p>The real test is what it&rsquo;s like to use every day, and can you really walk and work at the same time? I have to admit, even I was a bit skeptical about the idea, despite being very open to new technologies and innovations.</p>
<p>I was happily proved wrong.</p>
<p>Right away, I found myself walking and working without any issues whatsoever. In some ways, I felt more productive than before - perhaps that was just the feeling of being active, but it felt great.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The WalkingPad is now an essential part of my routine, where I use it for one hour in the mornings and one hour after lunch, adding about 7,000 steps each day.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I feel better, healthier and more productive. It&rsquo;s been a complete revelation.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 id="mcetoc_1hepni8fd1v">Drawbacks</h2>
<p>There are a couple of minor drawbacks. It does make a noise, about the same as your average dishwasher. I use mine at home so it&rsquo;s not an issue, but I&rsquo;m not sure I&rsquo;d use it if my colleagues are close to me - it could prove a bit distracting for them.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s also a little bit slow for me. I&rsquo;m the first to acknowledge that I&rsquo;m one of those quick walkers, but it does feel like it could be a little faster. Fortunately, you could get the <a href="https://www.autonomous.ai/fitness/double-fold-treadmill-by-walkingpad">WalkingPad X21</a> model if you want to run as well as walk.</p>
<p><img class="image" src="https://cdn.autonomous.ai/production/ecm/231109/4.Drawbacks.webp" alt="WalkingPad C2 review" width="1920" height="1080" loading="lazy" /></p>
<h2 id="mcetoc_1hepni8fd20">Final Thoughts</h2>
<p>The WalkingPad C2 is a great product, there&rsquo;s no getting away from that. It has completely changed the way I work, and gives me the opportunity to have exercise without the stress of missing work.</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re feeling a bit short on exercise or simply want to lift your mental wellbeing, this product is your solution.</p>
