    Update: The best option for tracking steps is watch around the ankle. Thanks for all the recs. Why don’t you walk on over to that like button bucko 🤠
  • @Neazzy
    Nice video man! Thanks a lot 👊🏽 just ordered the walking pad r2 so I’m super excited!
  • @eskimos6714
    Bro, please keep making videos. It's really enjoyable watching them
  • @SeanLeonDrumz
    fitbit flex 2 with an ankle strap is the best ive found for accurately tracking steps.
  • @woodstream6137
    You can get an ankle step counter pretty cheap like $10. Another option is do the math: steps per mile * mph * time. Then just determine how much time you need for step goal. I'm shopping for one now. Sedentary lifestyle led to pulmonary blood clot. 3 days in hospital, blood thinners. I need one that supports 270#, won't break after 3mo, or break the bank.

    What do you think of red and near infrared light therapy? I purchased one of those lights recently and so far I like it. That walking pad looks a little too narrow as well. I won’t get that one :)
  • @impIicit
    did you adjust the tightness of the belt? if you’ve got that “jolt,” that typically means it’s not tight enough. just got mine today and gave it a try; we’ll see how it goes after a month.
  • @IAMCHIDERA
    I saw someone put their watch on their ankles instead, to count their steps better
  • Ideally, use it when watching a film/episode or listening to a podcast.
  • @JustNel
    I just bought a full size treadmill for this very reason
  • @god563616
    I use Google fit from my phone while walking which is connected to my watch and it syncs perfect.
  • @catsax2018
    Put your watch on the ankle to count steps
  • @Sunnyat189
    Could you incline this walking pad by raising it on something? Thanks
  • @robinisathakur
    Literally the first thing I thought of was “Will it work with the Apple Watch and Apple Health” to track my steps and..I don’t understand how nobody considers this basic feature for these pads.
  • @rcs3681
    I place my apple watch in a fanny pack or my pocket - solves tracking steps accurately.
  • @CiaranMal1
    Mine burnt out in 4 weeks. I was doing 10-15 miles 5 days a week on it. The jolting and countless times of realigning the belt
  • @titan8084
    Just put your phone in your pocket. That will track your steps.
  • Put your phone in your pocket then walk instead of using the watch to track..
