I've made it my mission for most of this summer to get my 10,000 steps in, and it's been instrumental for getting me a) outside and enjoying the sunshine, and b) helping me stay fit. But with the colder weather and darker nights, I'm going to struggle to keep on top of my goals – which is why I'm saving $70 on this Urevo SP1 Lite walking pad from Best Buy, down from $249.99 to just $179.99.

With a heavy discount on this under-desk treadmill thanks to Best Buy's Labor Day discounts (and you can see all our Labor Day sales picks here), the Urevo SP1 Lite is one of Best Buy's highest-rated under-desk treadmills, with 4.6 stars based on 69 user reviews.

We haven't tested this particular model ourselves, but have reviewed Urevo treadmills in the past and deemed them 'excellent', so we feel confident about recommending this one. I'll certainly be bagging this superb deal to get my steps in at home even though it's dark outside, so I can walk while taking meetings and watching all my favorite Halloween flicks while keeping my 10,000 step streak alive on my Apple Watch Series 10.

While there's nothing exactly magic about the number 10,000 (the idea of 10K steps a day was originally created by a Japanese company to sell pedometers) walking more has been scientifically associated with longevity, improved fitness and decreased risk of all sorts of diseases, from heart conditions to diabetes.

Low-intensity walks are a perfect cozy cardio solution, burning calories and helping you get fit without too many barriers to entry.

The Urevo shares a lot of the aspects of the best under-desk treadmills we've reviewed: cushioning technology in the belt, wheels for easier storage and transportation, and a display to show you distance, time and estimated calorie information.

Reviewers are calling it "a great piece of equipment" highlighting its comfort, ease of use and portability. This tracks with our experience of Urevo kit, and leads us to conclude it's well worth the buy-in, especially at this price. I'll certainly be getting one.
