If you're anything like me and mostly working either from home or in an office then it can be hard finding the time to fit in your recommended 10,000 daily steps. Often, I'll get to the end of the working day and be more focused on sorting out dinner, talking to my family, and trying to claw back some time to relax.

That's where a walking pad comes in handy. These compact low-speed treadmills allow you to rack up the steps without leaving your house, with most being small enough to slide under your desk so you can use them while working.

They're also more affordable than you might think, with a range of different price points available to suit most budgets — what's more, some of them are on sale right now. So check out the nine walking pads below and get ready to rack up the miles.
