Thinking about an under-desk walking pad for winter riding fitness at home?
-
I ride a Onewheel around Louisville, and the colder months are killing my mileage. I'm not great at cold-weather gear and my balance work drops off when I'm not riding regularly. I've been looking at a walking pad treadmill as something low-impact I can use indoors during winter to keep my legs and stabilizer muscles active. One thing I'm uncertain about: a walking pad has no handrails, and I'm used to relying on my feet and balance from riding. Does a treadmill without rails feel unstable or take getting used to, especially for someone using it mostly for light walking? Also curious whether the low profile under-desk style is actually practical for daily use or if it's more of an occasional thing. I'd rather hear from people who use one regularly than guess. Anyone here use a walking pad alongside their riding to stay active in the off-season? Any input appreciated.
