Living in central North Carolina, it’s rarely too cold for me to be outdoors. Throughout the winter, I enjoy regular walks alone, often as a recovery routine from my more rigorous workouts, and stroll with my family for some quality post-dinner time together. However, as an avid football and cycling fan, my idea of a happy Sunday often includes at least a few sedentary hours in front of the television, watching my favorite sports.
Enter the Urevo SpaceWalk 5L walking pad, where, with a setup that includes little more than plugging the machine into my wall, I can spend those mindless hours enjoying a bit of movement, rather than languishing on the couch in front of a plate of hot wings and an ice-cold cream soda (delightful as that sounds).
Similarly, a walking pad could be an ideal solution for your standing desk, to move while you work, rather than spend interminable hours sitting. Whatever the purpose, a walking pad can keep you moving during times you might be otherwise stationary.

The new SpaceWalk 5L from Urevo is a compact, relatively lightweight, and wholly straightforward walking pad, differing from traditional treadmills mainly in its lower top speed.
First, let’s get some specifics out of the way. The SpaceWalk 5L is a little over 4 feet long and a little under 2 feet wide. Its walking surface is 39 inches long and 16 inches wide. It weighs just a bit more than 50 pounds and can hold up to 300 pounds of human.
Unboxing the Urevo SpaceWalk, it’s immediately clear how sturdy and well built it is. Yet it’s relatively lightweight and therefore not terribly heavy or difficult to maneuver. This makes it a versatile unit for any variety of in-home applications. I would say assembly was a breeze, only there was no assembly to speak of, outside of unboxing it and plugging it in. So, yeah. Putting it together was a breeze.
