Working from home used to be an extraordinary concession in extraordinary times—namely, the Covid-19 pandemic that kept us all in our jammies for at least the better part of a year. While many of us have returned to the office to some extent, some vestiges remain. That includes the enduring popularity of at-home walking pads. They’re compact, affordable treadmills that you can slide under a standing desk to rack up some miles and improve your focus while you work.
I’m a recent convert, mainly because it’s so easy to just check if I broke 10,000 steps that day and hop on a walking pad for 20 minutes while watching some holiday rom-com. So it is with great pleasure that I report that our best walking pad, the Urevo CyberPad for Home, is now an unbelievable $139 off.

Unlike most affordable walking pads, the CyberPad has a 14 percent incline. That’s steep enough for a pretty solid workout, even if the speed does not exceed 4 mph. Reviewer Kristin Canning said that she found it smooth and responsive, and her knees didn’t hurt even after hours of walking. It also comes with a Bluetooth remote as well as an app (iOS, Android). You can control the pad with either, and it also has a display screen on the front of the pad that shows speed, incline, time, distance, and calories.
It also has some fun features that you might not see on other, even more expensive pads. With the app, you can control lights that run along the rails of the CyberPad. For well under $500, this is a sturdy, versatile addition to your home office.
