Buying Treadmill
Now Come The Features To Be Avoided
Different types of treadmill come with different types
of features to attract consumers towards a particular product. However,
it is not always necessary that all the features may be of use to you.
As there are some good features, there are some bad features as well.
In fact, there are some features in a treadmill that you ought to covet,
there are also some other features that you need to avoid. The features
which you should avoid in a treadmill are the following:
One feature to avoid is incline adjustments that require you to
dismount and move pins or other mounts on a support leg. This is very
inconvenient and could even affect your exercise routine.
You should always avoid non-motorized models. They may cause a strain
on joints and muscles. Non-motorized models mean irregular speeds
since you can’t “pull” at a steady pace with your stride, especially
if you run where you spend a few milliseconds on every stride off the
belt in the air and obviously are not able to pull at a steady pace.
One model you can avoid to choose is the one that comes with a start
speed of 1.0 mph or more.
No warranty means no purchase. When all
manufacturers are giving warranty of one year and more on their
treadmills, why on earth you would buy a model with no warranty.
Surface area that is short or narrow is one thing you can avoid when
you select a model.
You should avoid those treadmills that come with single-ply belts.
You should not select the model with the feature of less than 1.5 HP.
AC or treadmill-duty motor is one feature that you should avoid.
Your treadmill should not shake, rattle, or squeak when you are
working out.
As long as you keep these valuable tips and advice in mind as you shop
for a treadmill online or in your nearest shop, there is no reason why
you should end up with a product that turns out to be more of a
liability than an asset. Avoiding the above features can land you with
the best bargain.
