Buying a Treadmill
Treadmills are among the most popular pieces of workout equipment because the natural motion is familiar to us and doesn’t feel like such a chore. Nonetheless, anyone shopping wants to get a good treadmill system that’s also right for their budget. Brace yourself – A treadmill is going to be a seriuos investment, but one that improves your health! The price range on treadmill systems (starting with frugal, simple systems to high end) runs between 500 and 3,000!

Let’s look at some specifics. First is the treadmill’s motor. You want one that’s around 2 HP and that has a warrantee on the motor itself of at least a year. Also listen to the motor. Is it quiet enough for your home? You can get non-motorized treadmills, but most experts in the industry feel you’re better off for longevity with a motorized version.
Second is the overall stability of the treadmill and how comfortable you are while walking. If the belt doesn’t move smoothly or the hand rails are at an awkward height, this makes the system unsafe, and also one that you probably won’t be encouraged to use! Speaking of which, you will likewise be discouraged by a system that’s too big for your space. Pick up the treadmill, fold it (if it offers that feature), see how easily it moves so you can put it where you’ll see it, and use it regularly.

Third are features. You want adjustable speeds, inclines, and a pulse monitor. Another really nice feature is a place for a water bottle. Some higher end models even let you attach a CD player or handheld computer to the mill. If you find after research that the treadmill you want is out of your price range, consider an elliptical trainer, glider, or system that has similar low-impact but allows for cardio workouts.
