Welcome
Dear Walking Fan,
Thank you for choosing our innovative Walkingpad and for enabling us to play a part in improving your active lifestyle.
The Skandika Walkingpad is your ideal companion for fitness training at home, for people whose aim it is to exercise regularly,
but who don' t have the possibility to do so outdoors.
Walking as a sport was born in Scandinavia and it closes the gap between rambling and running: it is a little more ambitious
than rambling and a little slower than running. Today, walking is a popular sport, especially for people who are just starting out
on their fitness career, or for people who are slightly more limited, perhaps due to age or for physical reasons.

Indoor (Nordic) Walking
The number of Nordic Walking enthusiasts has steadily risen in the last few years. The trend is not surprising, since this form of
regular exercise is particularly healthy and easy on the joints. But what if the weather doesn' t play along? The Walkingpad
enables you to carry on with your training plan at home – no matter what the weather does.
10 000 steps a day
Studies show that regular exercise can help prevent many common health problems. Walking after a meal causes blood sugar
levels to sink, thus reducing the risk of diabetes. Just 5 000 steps a day considerably reduce the risk of depression and if you
can up that to 10 000 steps a day, you can permanently improve your health long-term and thus positively influence your life
expectancy.
Stimulation of fat metabolism
Many people do not achieve their weight loss goals because they are out of breath too quickly when jogging or have too high a
pulse rate when exercising. The Walkingpad guarantees the right pulse to stimulate your fat metabolism. The optimal walking
pad speed of 6 km/h ensures this. No more sore muscles after the fitness studio, no more pain due to incorrect pressure or bad
posture, simply more exercise in everyday life, walking on the Walkingpad.
