Under Desk Treadmill in Kenya for Your Home Office
An under desk treadmill lets you walk while you work. In Kenya, a home office is often a desk in the corner of a bedroom or sitting room, so it has to be slim enough for a standard desk, quiet enough for video calls and easy to fold away after work. Ours does all three for KSh 24,800, and runs at up to 14 km/h when the working day ends.

Under desk treadmill, walking pad: the same thing
An under desk treadmill and a walking pad are two names for the same machine: a low, slim treadmill with no bulky frame, made to slide under a desk. Ours is a 2-in-1 model. With the handrail folded down it works as an under desk treadmill at 1 to 6 km/h. With the handrail up it becomes a running treadmill.
Will it fit under your desk?
Most home desks in Kenya stand 70 to 75 cm high. With the handrail folded down, our walking pad slides under desks in that range. Leave 15 to 18 cm between the deck and the underside of the desk so your feet move freely. If your desk is lower, around 68 cm, measure before you order.
The right speed for working
For desk work, walk at 1 to 4 km/h. That keeps you moving while you type and speak clearly. Start at 1 to 2 km/h, and most people settle at 2.5 to 4 km/h within a week.
| Task | Suggested speed |
|---|---|
| Typing and detailed work | 1 to 2.5 km/h |
| Reading, email, calls | 2.5 to 4 km/h |
| Breaks between tasks | 4 to 6 km/h |
| After work, handrail up | Up to 14 km/h |
Video calls while walking
At walking pace the motor is quiet, and with a good headset most colleagues will not notice you are walking. Keep the camera on your upper body and mute when you are not speaking. Above 6 km/h the motor gets louder, so keep faster speeds for after work.
Setting up your walking desk
- Use a stable desk that does not wobble.
- Raise your screen to eye level so you do not look down while walking.
- Keep your elbows at about 90 degrees when typing. A riser helps if your desk does not adjust.
- Plug it into a wall socket, or a properly rated extension cable. A light-duty cable made for a phone charger is not suitable.
- Walk in blocks of 20 to 30 minutes, two or three times a day.
Our step-by-step guide shows how to use a walking pad while working.
What a working day adds up to
Three 20-minute walking blocks at 4 km/h add up to about 6,000 steps, with no separate workout. See how long 10,000 steps takes on a walking pad.
