Let's take a look at the top 5 reasons for the incredible popularity of treadmills.
1. Convenient - this is the biggie. You can run anytime, anywhere, any speed you want.
There's no bad weather, there are no dark roads. Easy!
2. Effective - the treadmill provides an unsurpassed for a cardiovascular workout.
Kilojoules burned on a treadmill for 60 minutes averaged higher than:
* Stair machine
* Rowing machine
* Stationary cycle
* Cross-country ski machine
3. Interesting - whack on the stereo, pop on the TV, watch the kids play.
Running doesn't need to be dull and boring.
4. Flexibility - at the touch of a button you can challenge yourself or reduce speed to a walk or run a hill, whatever - a treadmill offers you the flexibility needed to keep your exercise interesting and challenging.
5. Low impact - the surface of your treadmill is designed to absorb impact and reduce pressure.
Reducing your risk of injury and increasing your chance of getting fit, losing weight and living the life you want!
How To Review A Treadmill
Check for the Continuous-Duty rating for the motor's true horsepower - we recommend a rating of at least 1.5 hp and under 5,000 prm.
The optimum belt width is about 40 cm - this gives you adequate walking and running space.
The number 1 cause of treadmill breakdown is vibration - so you need a sturdy frame. Steel frames are generally sturdier than aluminium ones and will provide a more stable machine.
Electronic elevation control - try to purchase or hire a treadmill with a front elevation design, as this is the most popular type, and is less prone to breakdown. Manual elevation treadmills are fine and generally found in the lower cost models.
Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) motor controls are the most recent innovation, and the best for treadmill electronics. A less expensive type of controller is the Solid State Controlled Rectifier (SCR) - these are cheaper for manufacturers to produce, they prematurely wear out motors, are noisy and are most suitable for walking.
The larger the diameter of the rollers, the fewer revolutions it will have to make. This then reduces the wear and tear on the roller and its bearings.
Decking - there are generally 2 types of decks. Wood and medium density fibre-board (MDF). MDF is the best option because it is less likely to crack.
