People around me often complain they are so busy every day that they work overtime and cannot find extra time for sports and exercise. Put a treadmill at home? It not only expensive but also occupy a quite amount of area. Is there a method to maintain a certain amount of exercise every day.
Recently, I discovered a sports product — — WalkingPad walking machine from KIng Smith, a company under MI‘s’ eco-chain.Unlike traditional treadmills, WalkingPad’s main concept of “walking” light movement allows users to use the fragmented time to achieve walking exercise at home, in the office, etc. I personally think that “walking” is more suitable for us in the living city than “running”. WHO has determined that walking is “the best sport in the world.” Data statistics, each step can promote 50% of the human body’s blood flow, by squeezing 50% of the body’s blood vessels, is a simple “vascular gymnastics”; At least 50% of the muscles can be exercised to help maintain mass… There are many benefits of walking. Especially the people who work late at night like me. The intense running is not suitable for at night, but slow walking can relax the body and relieve stress, release the negative energy.

In addition, the WalkingPad’s ultra-thin design also supports folding storage and takes up a small space. It suddenly makes me feel excited. These features really attract me, so I brought one for myself. After using it for a while, let me share with you of my experience with this product.I was quite surprised when I first saw the WlakingPad. I thought it going to be a ‘’big guy‘’ I even remember to ask the delivery guy do you need extra help to bring it upstairs. In fact, the size of the WalkingPad package is similar to that of a 27-inch display. It is much heavier tho and has a net weight of 28 kg. It is not a problem for a person to pick up.

The outer packaging labels the main feature of WalkingPad, including innovative folding, intelligent speed control, lightweight body, and intelligent detection. Main accessories: (1) Power cord, WalkingPad needs a power supply, motor rated power 746W, similar to household rice cooker; (2) remote control, can control the walking machine; (3) silicone oil, lubrication shaft, etc. , (4) hexagonal wrench, correcting the walking belt; (5) after-sales card, instructions and so on.
The WalkingPad is free of installation and is very convenient to use. After the expansion, it is 1.432 meters long and 0.547 meters wide. My living room tiles are 0.8 meters long, so the product is less than two pieces of space.
In appearance, WalkingPad takes a simple design style, abandoning the traditional frame structure, and has a technological sense, which can be well integrated into the home environment.

Lightweight aluminum alloy structure, net weight 28kg, bearing weight 90kg, not only make the weight lighter but also higher strength, thin and strong. There is a warning sign on the panel. For the first time, the user is required to practice in the novice mode. Suitable for age from 12 to 60. There is inertia when starting the walking machine, and there is no armrest for that, so It is strictly forbidden to walk up and down when the WalkingPad is running.
WalkingPad‘s thickness ’is only 57mm. The low-thin platform design can minimize the height of the walking platform to the ground, and achieve noise reduction while ensuring the safety of walking.
Thanks to the innovation of technology, WalkingPad supports folding storage, lightly lifts the back end of the walking machine and folds 180 degrees to complete the folding process.
After folding, it was shortened from the original 1.432 meters to 0.822 meters, covering an area of only 0.44m². It can be placed under the bed, table, balcony, corner, etc., unlike traditional treadmills occupying a lot of space.

The WalkingPad walker adopts a hidden LED display design, which is unified with the walker panel when it is stationary. During exercise, the various sports data will appear on the panel.The WalkingPad provides three modes, standby mode, constant speed mode (M), and automatic mode (A).
(1) Constant speed mode, walking at the same speed, suitable for beginners.
(2) Automatic mode, which can control the speed of the walking machine through the ‘adapting speed control system’, suitable for experienced users.
(3) Standby mode, start when not in use.

The handheld remote control of the WalkingPad can realize the related operations of switching state, acceleration, deceleration, start and stop. The state of walking can be easily grasped by the remote control. But holding such things on the hand, it is more or less uncomfortable during walking. Maybe hang around the neck will be more natural.There is a button battery on the back to power it. The mobile APP also supports related operations.
How to connect to the WalkingPad to the phone?
As the product ecological chain, the WalkingPad is also supporting the MI’s APP. Downloads Mi APP from the app store. Finds the WalkingPad in the “Sports Health” column of the app, and connects WalkingPad via Bluetooth.

After the connection is successful, enter user‘s information like gender, height, weight to effectively integrate the user’s sports data and give scientific guidance.After connecting, on the mobile app, there is a guide to novice. First, the constant speed mode experience.”Constant speed mode” is the basic function of the WalkingPad. It is recommended to use the “constant speed mode” first. Switch to the fixed speed mode, the original speed is 3km / h (the speed can be customized in the APP)
Use the remote control or mobile APP to accelerate. Each time you press the acceleration, the speed is increased by 0.5km/h, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5… and the maximum speed is 6km/h. (Deceleration is the same, the minimum speed is 0.5km/h)
It is natural to walk on the WalkingPad, kinda like walking on an outdoor road. The walking board is a high-density fiberboard with a smooth and soft cushioning layer on the surface.
With the pressure sensor at the bottom, the WalkingPad is equipped with patented automatic control technology, which can accurately measure the position and step frequency of the user, automatically control the speed of the walking machine through different landing areas. Realizing the corresponding acceleration, uniform speed, deceleration, and change, truly liberate the hands, make the movement more freely.WalkingPad can be divided into three sections, acceleration zone, average speed zone, and deceleration zone. In the automatic mode, when my footsteps are in the front area, the WalkingPad start to accelerate — — when I feel the speed is already fast enough, the footstep moves to the middle area to achieve the average speed walk — -when I need to slow down or stop , back to the tail area, the walker slows down or stops running.
Throughout the process, the walking machine reacts very sensitively, responds quickly, and intelligently understands the user’s intentions. However, in the beginning, I was a bit uncomfortable. Once you get used to the automatic mode, you can throw away the remote control in your hand.

Summary
After a period of experience, I have a deeper understanding of the WalkingPad:
