Amazon knocks £80 off 'space saving' treadmill that's a 'game changer for home workouts'
While there is no perfect time to start a health and fitness journey, sometimes the nicer weather or a countdown to an upcoming holiday can motivate people to add more exercise into their daily routine. However, with busy work and home schedules, it can be difficult to find time to go to the gym.
A solution to this struggle is to invest in a walking pad. These at-home exercise machines allow users to get their steps in while working or watching TV. These machines are also great for people who struggle with gym anxiety.
For those dipping a toe into the fitness world, Amazon has just reduced the price of the popular Sperax Walking Vibration Pad in a limited time deal. Normally retailing for £239.99, shoppers can now snatch up this treadmill for only £159.99 - saving customers £80.
Unlike other walking pads, Sperax's treadmill also comes with a vibration feature, which enables users to enjoy a five minute massage after their workout to help relax the entire body. There are a variety of modes available, which can be easily controlled via Bluetooth.
Weighing only 10KG, this walking pad can be easily maneuvered around the home or office, allowing users to get a workout in while they complete other necessary tasks. Offering a speed range of 0.3 to six kilometers per hour, the treadmill can bear up to 150KG in weight.
Users will also be able to keep a track of their progress as the walking pad includes a LED display, and the Sperax Fitness app also provides real-time monitoring of essential metrics such as calories burned, speed, time and distance. This allows users to customise their workouts to fit their needs.
Another popular at-home treadmill on Amazon is the UREVO Smart Walking Pad. Normally retailing for £209.99, shoppers can now snatch it up for £129.98. This treadmill features a 90cm x 38cm running belt, which is equipped with a non-slip surface as well as dual shock absorption for extra safety.
Alternatively, Debenhams has reduced the price of the Neo Under Desk Portable Walking Pad down to £121.87. Usually retailing for £162.49, this walking pad is equipped with a LED screen to help users monitor their progress in real time, as well as featuring a 19.68-inch wide running belt.
For those interested in the Sperax Walking Pad, it is currently one of Amazon's top choices and has received a 4.3 star rating from shoppers. Many other shoppers starting or in the midst of their fitness journey have purchased this product, as over 600 have been sold in the last 30 days.
One happy shopper said: "It feels firm, is well built, and the sturdy frame doesn't wobble when walking. The running surface is comfortable and has the right amount of cushioning to reduce the impact on my joints. Its design is also small, making it ideal for small spaces. When not in use, I can easily tuck it under the sofa or bed, which is very space-saving."
Another wrote: "Great buy. I don't get out walking as much as I used to, due to disabilities. This is great for me, as I can do all the walking I used to, but from indoors.
"The walking pad is well built, very sturdy and a little heavy. However, with the wheels on the front, it makes moving it easy enough. The speed it can reach is perfect for all abilities, and the remote is simple to use, and reacts quickly.
However, a different reviewer noted a slight issue, commenting: "One thing I would say is that the flex for plug use could be longer. I am limited to where I can use it. Other than that one issue, I am very happy with my purchase. Packaging was perfect, and everything was secure and safe from breakage."
A further shopper also highlighted another inconvenience, writing: "This is a good walking pad. My only criticism of it is, it should be a little bit longer in length. I'm only 5.8 ft and tend to use it on max speed.
"You have to use the exact walking speed because either you end up walking a bit too fast and clip your feet in the front or walk a bit too slow and clip your feet behind. A longer length would solve this issue."
Despite this, another shopper was pleased with their purchase, adding: "I recently purchased the treadmill, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for my home workouts. The design is sleek and modern, which adds a nice touch to my home.
"I love how you can adjust the speed to your personal preference. Also another feature I love is how it tracks your time and distance which helps with seeing your personal growth and helps you hit personal targets. It also has a safety feature which stops the treadmill immediately if needed.
"Overall, I highly recommend the treadmill for anyone looking to enhance their fitness routine at home. It's durable, worth your money, and has made my workouts much more enjoyable."

Grocery wars! Amazon expands food delivery to 1,000 cities in push to compete with Walmart
Amazon customers across 1,000 U.S. cities can now order same-day grocery delivery as the tech giant tries to take a bite out of Walmart 's online grocery business. The retailer offered same-day delivery in Phoenix, Orlando, and Kansas City for perishable foods and has now expanded its operation to include hundreds of other regions, the company announced Wednesday. Amazon plans to roll out the service to 2,300 cities by the end of 2025. 'Millions' of items, such as everyday household essentials or electronics, were already available to be delivered on the same day as they were ordered, the company said. For Amazon Prime members, same-day delivery is free for orders over $25 in most cities; there's a $2.99 fee if that minimum is not met. For customers without Prime, the service is available with a flat $12.99 fee. The focus on the quick delivery of groceries seems to be the company's latest attempt to compete with Walmart, which leads the e-commerce grocery market. Walmart can deliver to 93 percent of U.S. households on the same day, according to a Q4 earnings release. The store held the title of top online grocery retailer in terms of sales, eMarketer found in January. 'Consumers are doing more comprehensive grocery shopping at Walmart, whereas, with Amazon, shoppers tend to do more one-off purchases,' analyst Blake Droesch said in a statement at the time. Other players, including Uber, DoorDash and InstaCart, are popular in the food-delivery space. But nearly three quarters — 72 percent — of U.S. digital grocery sales will come directly from retailers, like Amazon or Walmart, according to eMarketer. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told shareholders in April 2023 that he hoped the company would expand in the $800 billion grocery business market. 'Grocery is a big growth opportunity for Amazon,' he said. That mission has been fruitful. Last year, Amazon raked in more than $100 billion in gross sales of groceries and household essentials. That figure excludes Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh. More than 2 billion groceries and household essentials were delivered the same or next day in the U.S. in 2024, the company reported in June. Amazon, once known only as an online bookseller, jumped into the grocery business nearly two decades ago. The retail giant began offering groceries on its website in 2006. The following year, it launched Amazon Fresh, which initially delivered groceries via van to a Seattle suburb, The Guardian reported in 2007. By 2020, the tech giant opened physical stores in Chicago and Los Angeles, boasting innovative technology that allowed customers to walk out of the store with their goods and pay for them without having to stop at a cashier. There are now 63 Amazon Fresh stores across the country.

Cisco projects upbeat quarterly revenue as AI fuels networking equipment demand
Aug 13 (Reuters) - Cisco Systems (CSCO.O), opens new tab forecast first-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates on Wednesday, as the artificial intelligence boom boosted demand for its networking equipment from cloud customers. Hyperscale cloud investments are healthy and driving IT infrastructure financing, which sets up a good backdrop for Cisco. "Within the enterprise spending environment, there is incremental spending to beef up the infrastructure to accommodate AI, so that could potentially be another growth driver, especially with Cisco having such a big presence in the traditional enterprise market," Edward Jones analyst David Heger said. Big tech firms such as Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab, Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab and Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab are ramping up spending to ease capacity shortages that have limited their ability to meet AI demand, even after several quarters of multi-billion-dollar outlays. Cisco's AI infrastructure orders exceeded $800 million in the fourth quarter, bringing the total for fiscal 2025 to over $2 billion, more than double its original target, CEO Chuck Robbins said on a post-earnings call. The company has not seen any pull-forward in demand for products, but did note a small impact from tariffs in the quarter and during the fiscal year, he added. "We expect the sovereign AI opportunity to build momentum in the second half of fiscal 2026. Cisco will be a core system provider for these significant AI training and inference cluster build outs and integral to their development and eventual hyperscaling." Cisco has partnered with Humain, Saudi Arabia's state-backed AI company, and it will provide digital solutions for Bahrain's government information and telecommunications infrastructure. The company expects revenue to be between $14.65 billion and $14.85 billion for the first quarter, compared with analysts' average estimate of $14.62 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Its revenue for the fourth quarter ended July 26 came in at $14.67 billion, compared with estimates of $14.62 billion. Networking product orders grew in the double digits during the quarter, driven by webscale infrastructure, switching, enterprise routing, industrial IoT and servers.

I'm buying another more powerful one.'
