Shoppers 60+ say this walking pad 'makes exercising easier' — it's on mega-sale

The portable, 45-pound treadmill can be used while working or watching TV, and it's down to just $120.

Reaping the benefits of exercise doesn't have to involve intense sprints or lifting heavy dumbbells. In fact, moving your body in ways you enjoy is best in the long run, as you're much more likely to stick with activities that feel sustainable. And yes, that movement can be as simple as walking — but what happens when it's too hot, cold, rainy or you don't live in a walkable area? Enter: the No. 1 bestselling Sperax Walking Pad, a lightweight, portable treadmill that can be used under a desk while working or in front of the TV while bingeing your favorite shows. This versatile machine was purchased over 10,000 times in the past month (!) and happens to be on mega-sale at Amazon. Now that's what we call a hot-(to "trot")ticket item!

Walk (or jog) right this way — this is one sale you won't want to "skip."

Why is it a good deal? ??

If we were to break it down by monthly costs, this treadmill is $10 per month — far less than the price of most gym memberships. It's also a steal compared to many pieces of at-home exercise equipment (for example, the Peloton Tread is nearly $3,000). Now, upon checking our price trackers, we're fairly convinced the original listed price of $1,000 is inflated, which also applies to the 88% markdown (the highest-ever price showing up for us is around $400). That said, you're still saving about 70% given that parameter, and it's never dipped lower than it is now. Be sure to apply the on-page coupon for the full discount.

Why do I need this? ??

At 45 pounds, the Sperax Walking Pad is light enough that it can be moved around your home, and the fact that it has wheels makes this task even easier. But don't be fooled by its lack of heft — it's still durable enough to support up to 320 pounds. It arrives pre-assembled and ready to use, though you might find you have to apply the included lubricating oil if the shock-absorbing, anti-slip walking belt feels too dry.

Its three settings include work mode, walking mode and running mode, the fastest reaching up to 3.8 MPH. Via the user-friendly display, you'll be able to track your time, speed, calories and total mileage. (It comes with a remote that you can use to adjust the speed or stop the machine while you're using it.) Because it has a quiet motor, you're unlikely to disturb anyone while you're walking — and when your workout is complete, its short profile allows you to slide it under a bed or sofa if you want to store it out of sight.

What reviewers say ??

Nearly 4,000 Amazon customers say this treadmill "steps" up to the plate.

Pros ??

"I’m now 61 years old," shared one satisfied shopper. "I enjoyed walking outdoors to get back in shape, but when the weather was inclement, obviously I couldn’t go out for my workout. When I saw this treadmill ... I had to give it a shot, and it was well worth the purchase! Now I can walk whenever I wish, set it for my pace, monitor my steps and heart rate and walk indoors regardless of the weather!"

"The treadmill is so quiet when in use that you can barely hear it," said another. "This allows me to move around safely while working from home without disturbing my family or colleagues, making exercising easier. The control panel is very intuitive and makes it easy to adjust speeds and modes to suit different workout needs. Whether it's a brisk walk or a leisurely stroll, it's up to you."

"It's so light, convenient and perfect for my home workout!" exclaimed a third. "And even though it's very light, it's still very solid and durable; I feel safe and stable when walking on it, even at higher speeds!"

Cons ??

"Perfect for small spaces," raved a user. "I'm 65, and it was easy to unbox and get started right away." That said, they did have a few notes. "It doesn't have a handle, but I make sure I'm close to a chair or the countertop if I need more stability. I do wish the cord was longer, but I use it with a power strip."

"I love the fact that it's compact," wrote a final reviewer. "Fits right under my standing desk, and when it's not in use, I can easily move it around. It's quiet and runs smoothly. My only complaint is that there isn't a pause feature, so if I have to stop for some reason, I have to start it all over again. Other than that, it works for its intended purpose. What sold me on this product was that it's plus-size friendly. Most other treadmills I was looking at capped at 250 pounds, so I love the fact that this one was 320 pounds and has been holding up great so far."

This is the only time we won't tell you to pace yourself — there's no knowing how long this insane deal will last.

Of course, working out is a lot more fun when you've got cute clothes to do it in, and this bestselling top is celeb-approved:

Real Housewives star Kyle Richards is a fan of this cute athletic top, which has a built-in sports bra and is made of moisture-wicking material. During an Amazon Live, she said, "This sports bra is great," adding, "It holds everything in. You know when [sports bras] are either too thick or too thin? This is the perfect thickness."
