Treadmills are notorious for being quite large, which usually requires them to have their own space within your home to be stored, but the IPO Sports 'Mini Walk' is here to change all that. Weighing in at 55 pounds, the lightweight unit features no handles or large structural components, which allows it to be stored almost anywhere when it isn't in use.
The lack of controls on the unit works by interpreting your movement thanks to the Human Body Infrared Induction technology, which responds to where you're stepping on the unit to respond accordingly. This means hitting the rear will slow things down, the middle will keep the speed constant and the front will increase speed.
The IPO Sports 'Mini Walk' treadmill speaks to the growing need for workout equipment that accommodates the increasingly compact consumer living space.
