Treadmill Basics
Try Out A Treadmill Before You Buy It
If you have zeroed in on having a treadmill, it is a
good decision. But, you are clueless about what and where of buying a
treadmill that suits your need, what are the features you want to have
in your treadmill etc. etc.
Perhaps the most
important step to buying a treadmill is to try one out before you
actually buy one. It is the most logical thing to do. After all, those
sheets that a treadmill seller or expert shows you, are only figures,
numbers, and technical descriptions. You won’t know for sure until you
try the treadmill and hold it in your two hands to get a personal feel
of it.
The next logical thing is to make a list of all treadmill
models that you like or that suit your need. Then you can call different
sporting goods stores to see if they’re available locally. If they are,
try to spend at least 10 minutes on each treadmill, making sure that it
runs quietly and doesn’t shake even when you’re running on it. And while
you are checking it, see where the drink holder is, see the place where
you can place your walkman, a book rack, and some other small stuff that
are not terribly important but would be a nice addition anyway. And
after checking all those out and coming up with your hands full, you can
make the purchase and bring your new treadmill home.
