How To Chose A Treadmill

motorised-treadmillBuying A Treadmill

Buying a treadmill can often be an expensive purchase. There are hundreds of different treadmills on the market so how do you choose ? Here are the main things to consider.

1. Motorised / Non motorised – Cheaper treadmills are manual and use the power of your legs rather than a motor to power the running belt. Non motorised treadmills can take some getting used to and place more strain on the legs. Non motorised treadmills are generally failr light and can be folded for storage. Motorised treadmills are better but are motor expensive, are quite a bit heavier and also require more maintenance.

2. Price – Treadmills vary from less than a hundred pounds to over £10000. The lower priced ones are generally non motorised whilst the higher price ones are generally aimed at the commercial market. As with many things its a case of you get what you pay for. Higher end models will have more features, be more sturdy and generally will last alot longer.

3. Incline – Most treadmill except for the cheaper motorised ones come with incline adjustment to simultate hills to intensify your workout. The more expensive the treadmill the more customisable the incline is likely to be.

4. Exercise Programmes – Most motorised treadmills will have some sort of set programmes for exercising. These may simulate hill running etc. Using such programmes provide more variety when exercising.

5. Other features – More expensive treadmills may include added features such as heart rate monitors. These range from simple heart rate checkers to more sophisticated system that will aim to keep your heart rate within a certain range.

6. Space – This will be a limiting factor for many people. High end treadmills are usually larger an heavier than the treadmills soley designed for home use. Some treadmills also fold up when not in use so they can be stood up against a wall.

7. Usage – Before purchasing a treadmill think about who will be using it. Most treadmills have a maximum user weight so the heavier user should ensure that their choosen treadmill is suitable. If you have joint problems then a machine with a cushioned deck may be worth considering.

8. Warranties – Most good manufacturers offer generous warranties ranging from one to five years.
