Why you should try it before you buy it with treadmills

treadmill_runner.jpg
Whenever you're thinking of buying exercise equipment of any kind, it's important to try it out before you buy it. There are many reasons for this, but basically, what if it turns out that you don't like the equipment that you just spend hundreds of dollars on? Here are some specific reasons why you should try a treadmill before you buy it.

The best think you could do before you buy a treadmill is to either find a friend who has a treadmill and use his/her treadmill for a few days, or get a temporary (30 day or something similar) gym membership and try using the treadmill several times a week. You should be careful to see if it's something you enjoy doing- do you even like to run in general? You should be sure that it's a comfortable machine for you. It'd be too bad if you spent all sorts of money on a treadmill and then found out that you really preferred an elliptical.

Why you should invest in a treadmill

benefits-of-treadmills-109920.jpg
Treadmills are a great way to improve your general health, build muscle, tone your legs, and relieve stress. People all over the world are finally getting active through the use of a treadmill. But maybe you're not convinced. Maybe you're not so sure you want to buy a treadmill yet. Well, here are some reasons why you should invest in a treadmill.

If you love to run, but find that you run less in the winter because of cold, windy, snowy, icy, or rainy weather, you should think about investing in a treadmill. True, many runners like to take an occasional break from training, particularly through the holiday season. A few weeks to let your body rest is a great idea. Your body can use a short rest, but if you wait for too long, you'll lose the cardiovascular fitness that you've worked so hard to achieve. This doesn't mean you need to run on a treadmill every day throughout the entire winter, but even a tough runner will find days when it's not very safe to venture outside against the weather.

Why you should get a folding treadmill

sole-folding-treadmill.jpg
Treadmills are some of the best tools out there for exercise. They can be set at several different levels to give you excellent workouts. You can do an intense speed workout or a gradual incline workout. Different combinations exercise and develop different muscles. You would be amazed at all the different exercises you can do on a treadmill. Treadmills have also been found to be one of the most successful forms of aerobic exercise, so you know that if you are working out hard on one you are probably really improving your health. As with all forms of exercise, this also means that you are probably improving your appearance, sense of self, and overall well-being. It means that you feel more energetic and are probably able to do more things. It also means that you feel less stress and frustration in your life, and that your health is generally better. All of these things are benefits of regular exercise on a treadmill. Treadmills are simply great, but you might be wondering how you can actually get one into your home. For most people this is either a question of expense or one of space, and with many of us it could be both. Regular treadmills, like most of the ones you see in major gyms today are so large and bulky. They take up several square feet of valuable space that might be used for other things in the home. They also stand out and unless you want a large, heavy machine as a major part of your décor, I suggest you look into getting a folding treadmill.

Why treadmills are not just for runners

Fordfitness-KimStrothersFUNTreadmillWorkout587.jpg
Treadmills are a great way to stay in shape and improve running skills. But they're not just for runners. Anyone who wants to get a great workout will enjoy running on a treadmill. So if you enjoy running, or are looking for new ways to strengthen your body, running on a treadmill might be right for you. Here's why treadmills are not just for runners.

First, since running on a treadmill is done indoors, you never have to worry about the weather or time of day. Whether it's raining, snowing, blazing hot, or icy, you don't care because you don't have to run outside. You have the pleasure of running in a temperature controlled environment. You can run in any season, at any time of day. If you're a woman, you may worry about being attacked if you run outside at night. With a treadmill, that worry is gone. You're safe and sound inside. If you like running in the early hours of the morning, but hate running in the dark, you don't have to worry about it with a treadmill- it's never dark with a treadmill. So basically, a treadmill gives you freedom of choosing when you would like to run, regardless of external conditions. Many other sports require you to be outside. But running on a treadmill gives you the option of exercising whenever you want.

Who should purchase folding treadmills

treadmill-smooth.jpg
Treadmills are great tools for exercise. They allow you to program specific workouts and to save valuable workout time. They are so convenient, and especially in places where running outside is difficult. This can be particularly nice in the winter, when running in the cold can be both painful and dangerous. Many people do not know this, but treadmills are also generally better for the joints than running outdoors. This depends on what substance you would normally be running on, but many treadmills provide much great cushion, thereby lessening the impact than each step makes. Recognized by many as one of the best forms of aerobic exercise, treadmills can help you achieve your fitness goals, and often in the comfort of your own home. You have seen the big treadmills at the gym and are probably thinking that treadmills are great, but how will I ever fit one in my house? Standard gym treadmills are fairly large and take up several square feet of room. For most of us this is simply too much space. You might be able to afford a nice, big treadmill, but finding a place to put it is another matter. So what about a folding treadmill? If you are looking to conserve space while gaining many of the exercise benefits of a normal treadmill, you might want to look at a folding treadmill.

Why it is important to only use a treadmill for what it is made for

treadmill-pike.jpg
It is very important that you only use a treadmill for what it is made for. Treadmills and other pieces of home exercise equipment have been the cause of rising injuries for both adults and children. Treadmills are especially dangerous for children, who do not know how to use them properly and who tend to play with them. Also, adults who don't know the correct posture or exercises to perform on a treadmill can be prone to injuries as well.

Dr. Benjamin Chang is a pediatric plastic surgeon in Philadelphia. According to Dr. Chang, the number of severe injuries that happen to children has been steadily increasing over the last few years, with the average of yearly accidents somewhere around 8,700 child injuries. He says, "Usually the child gets caught in the back end of the treadmill where the belt goes around the roller. So this belt acts like a sander, taking off the top layer of skin. Because the hand is caught, the child can't pull it out right away." From this, you can see how dangerous treadmills can be-if they are not used properly, then you or a child can be pulled underneath the belt, which is really just like sandpaper. The majority of injuries occur to the hands and/or the fingers, which are injured by the belt. These are not just basic rug burn type injuries. The typical injury that results from a hand or fingers being caught in a treadmill belt is third degree burns that require extensive skin grafting and other plastic surgery procedures.

Why buying a treadmill is one of the smartest things that you can do

treadmill_manuel98510.gif
You want to workout but you never seem to have the time. It takes you a half an hour to get to the gym, plus some days you just don't feel like dealing with the gym and all of the meatheads that hang out there. Rather than going to the gym and standing in line to workout on some machine, why not just buy the machine and put it in your own house. Not a bad idea, huh? In this article, I will try to make a case for why buying a treadmill is one of the smartest things that you can do.

The first factor is the time factor. Having a treadmill in your house will save you time. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to get a minimum-benefit cardio workout. For most people it takes at least that long to get from their home to the gym and back again. If you can get a workout at home in the same amount of time that you would spend driving to get a workout at the gym, why bother with the gym at all. It seems to me it would be smarter to buy a treadmill and work out with out going anywhere.

What you get if you get a really basic treadmill

Manual_Treadmill.jpg
When shopping for treadmills you will find that the price is directly proportional to the number of features offered. In order to reduce the price of your treadmill, you might opt for one of the most basic models. This may or may not be a good idea since when dealing with treadmill, you most often get what you pay for. This article should shed some light on what you will get if you opt for a really basic treadmill.

The most basic kind of treadmill isn't even motorized. These treadmills are extremely cheap and are most often found at yard sales. It is hard to find a non-motorized treadmill at a retail store because they aren't very popular and frankly, they aren't very good. If you get a non-motorized treadmill, you turn the belt under your own power. The benefit of using a non-motorized treadmill is not much greater than that of walking in place. Well, that's not quite true, they do have a resistance setting so you can make it harder or easier to turn the belt but you would have to really be dedicated to spend much time on a non-motorized treadmill.

What the consumer reports say about treadmills

treadmill_medium.jpg
Consumer reports suggest that the controls are an important aspect of the treadmill. They suggest a "user friendly" control panel. That means that the controls make sense and they are easy to use. For example, some models (like the EVO 2) have light sensitive controls that all you have to do is wave your fingers over the control panel to change speed, modes, or programs. Consumer reports also suggest that heart rate is displayed on the control panel. They say that the chest straps are more accurate than the finger monitors or the monitors in the hand-grip.

Other features that consumer reports recommend that you look for in a treadmill include the following. Handrails to hold onto while your run or walk. A running belt that is long enough for your stride and an area on either side of the belt where you can step off the machine while it is running. They also suggest that you check the warranty and purchase the extended warranty if the coverage is less than you want.

If you are a serious runner, you will have an idea about what kind of stride you have and will know how to pick your deck.

Some treadmill companies offer inexpensive products but, for the most part, you get what you pay for. Below are listed some of the worst treadmill brands. These brands produce inexpensive products but you will not save money in the end.

Walkmill-this company only offers one treadmill-the Walkmill. The Walkmill costs about $650 and the Treadmill Doctor website suggests that it is worth about $300.
