Treadmill Guides
Know Your Treadmill Before You Buy It!
Your body is the god-given equipment. You
wish to get into proper shape. And when you visit the treadmill market,
either through the internet or at the shop, you find several models
promising you the moon. It is problem of the plenty, you can select but
one!
How long your will for workouts on the treadmill last? If
you wish to go for a durable treadmill, your related budget could not be
less than $1000. At this level, you will get a model that will last
long. You also get a service warranty for 2 years for parts and a motor
warranty for 10 years.
If your ambitions are high, you wish to be an area level athlete, a confirmed jogger, shell
out $ 500 extra. In such models you get a 20rdquo wide belt, 2.5 HP
motor and high quality components. This treadmill will give you service
for 24 hours.
Do you wish to reach still greater heights? Come to
the $2000 range. In such models the decks are longer. The motor is very
powerful and able to withstand any rigor. The belt and the deck are
designed to receive generous pounding. The deck of a treadmill should be
minimum 3/4&rdquo thick.
The hallmark of a treadmill is the
motor. It is the heart of the treadmill. It should not run grudgingly,
but with a co-operative and competitive spirit. More noise, means more
psychological bother and such motors are sure to burn out quickly.
While buying a home treadmill, just don't consider the features of
the treadmill alone. Do give a proper thought to your features as well,
mainly your weight and height. You need extra horse power for the motor
if you are a 'weighty' person. If you are a tall man, and if the
treadmill is built with very short walking/running surfaces, you will
find difficulty in practice.
The average length of the treadmill
surface is 50&rdquo. If your height is more than 6' 3&rdquo, consider
surfaces between 56&rdquo to 58&rdquo. You are on the surface during
every moment of the praactice. Therefore, you need to feel comfortable
all the time there and do not carry the anxiety of less space in your
mind.
For average size walkers, I suggest a
treadmill with a minimum 50" long surface, if you are over 6'3", you may
want to consider 56" surface. For tall runners you want to consider
models that have 58" long running surfaces. Nothing is more
discomforting, when you feel you are running off the end of a treadmill.
Folding
home treadmills have their own plus point. They save lots of space and
make their presence felt only at the time of exercise. Otherwise, they
quietly lie in any corner.
The greatest advantage of the home
treadmill is that you do exercise in the comfort of your home, with no
gym bills to pay. You save lots of time in traveling, to and from the
gym.
All in all, present treadmill market offers you all types of
treadmill machines as per your fitness needs.
