The Sperax 4-in-1 Treadmill offers a varied workout from a slow walk at speeds of 1 km/h all the way to 6 km/h for a light jog. It comes with a remote control so that you can easily make adjustments without having to bend down or disrupt your flow, whilst you track your progress through calories burned and distance on the LED screen positioned on the side of the machine.
It features a waterproof, non-slip running belt and a shock reduction system, so you and your joints will be kept comfortable without causing any injuries.
Another great feature is the Vibration Mode, which aids in muscle recovery and support. After completing your workout, you simply select the mode on the machine, and it will start to subtly vibrate, activating the muscles in your body whilst you stretch.
If you want to take your sessions up a level, then you can download the Seprax Smart fitness centre app, which is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. On there, you can enrol in walking challenges, follow along instructor-led sessions, and even partake in music parties to make the experience more fun.
The machine measures 98.8D x 8.9W x 52.8H centimetres, which makes it perfect to be stored away when you aren’t using it. Pop it under a sofa, a bed, in a cupboard, or upright against a wall without taking up any further space than it needs to. It weighs 10kg, so it is easily transportable if you want to take it to another room or space.
If you need any more convincing, the product has received glowing reviews from happy customers. One said, ‘Best gym equipment ever for a lazy girl. I use this so much to get my steps. It helps so so much, especially on those cold, dark and miserable days. I can put this walk pad in front of a TV and just watch movies all day whilst getting my steps in, I recommend it 100 times over.’
‘The vibration feature adds a surprisingly nice muscle-stimulating boost, and it’s much quieter than I expected,’ is another great bonus of the machine.
They then continued with ‘The app and Bluetooth control are super convenient, and the remote makes adjusting speed effortless. Setup was a breeze – just plug it in and go. I love that I can walk, jog, or use it as a vibration platform depending on my mood. This is hands-down the best purchase I’ve made for my health and productivity!’
A third followed with ‘It’s quiet, compact, and fits perfectly under my desk. I usually walk while I’m answering emails, on calls, or even watching Netflix in the evenings. It’s super easy to set up and move around when I’m not using it. What surprised me is how much more energy I have now – my legs don’t feel stiff anymore, and I’m sleeping better too.’
So, it’s time you pop on your favourite workout gear, or why not treat yourself and stay in your pyjamas whilst getting your daily steps in.
