Walking pad vs cheap auto-incline treadmill for fat loss?
I used to be an intense runner and loved treadmill workouts, especially incline walking/running.
Right now I’m out of shape and mainly focused on fat loss and rebuilding consistency. I already workout at my home gym, but I currently go to another gym mainly to use the treadmill for incline walking.
Now I’m planning to buy something for home and I’m confused between:
- a walking pad
- or a cheaper auto-incline treadmill
Part of me feels incline walking is extremely effective for fat loss and worth investing in.
But another part of me wonders if I’m overthinking it and whether I should just focus on getting 10k–20k steps consistently every day, even if it’s just flat walking on a walking pad.
The goal right now is purely fat loss.
Would appreciate advice from people who’ve used both.
