Fact 5: Trying It Out
After all, those spec sheets they show you are only
figures, numbers, technical descriptions. You won't know for sure until
you try it or hold it in your two hands.
Make a list of all treadmill models you like and call sporting goods stores to
see if they're available locally. 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're there, see where the drink holder
is, a place where you can place your walkman, a book rack, and some
other small stuff that aren't terribly important but would be a nice
addition anyway. And after checking all those out and coming up with
your hands full, make the purchase and bring your new treadmill home.
