We’ve all heard that trite adage about apples keeping doctors at bay, but few things are better for your overall health than daily cardio. There are many ways to get your heart pumping, but many rely on the good old-fashioned jog. But what do you do when your neighborhood is less than walkable, or the weather takes a turn for the worse?

The $479 Superfit Folding Under-Desk Treadmill is on sale at Walmart for only $170, and it’s a convenient and affordable way to get your daily steps in. Shoppers love it, calling it “compact, modern, and functional.”

Why do shoppers love it?

Treadmills are an excellent way to get moving, especially if you’re the kind of person who enjoys working out in the comfort of your own home. The problem is that not everyone has the space to dedicate to a home gym, let alone a treadmill. We’re willing to bet you’ll be able to fit this treadmill in your space, even if your home office is small or you live in a cramped apartment. The beauty of this treadmill is that it folds flat when it’s not in use and tucks under desks, beds, and even some couches.

Despite its low profile, this treadmill packs more than enough power to get your daily steps in, with a top speed of 7.4 miles per hour. Its clear LED display provides important workout insights, including distance walked, calories burned, time spent walking, and your current speed. You can adjust speed on the fly using a handy wireless remote, and there’s even a special device stand to accommodate a smartphone or tablet. Its motor is quiet enough that it won’t drown out your music or shows, and it’s so easy to store that you’ll actually use it every day.
