When searching for the best treadmill for you, ask yourself a couple questions.
How often will you use it and how much time per day?
How much space do you have?
The most important part of treadmill is the motor. When looking at how much horsepower the motor has, think of the term continuous duty thats how long the treadmill can keep working at the rate youre walking. If youre a runner, then youre probably going to want a continuous duty of 2.5. On the other hand, if you just want to use your treadmill for walking, then 1.5 should be fine.
Your height plays a role in getting the most from your treadmill. If youre taller, look for a treadmill with a belt thats 60 inches. You dont want to end up with a piece of exercise equipment that doesnt fit.
Give the potential treadmill a fair ride in the store if you can. Really walk or run on it for at least ten minutes. You may feel a little strange, exercising in front of other customers as they walk by, but a few minutes of discomfort is nothing compared to having to haul the equipment back for a refund.
Does the belt cushion your steps adequately? Does the treadmill hold up as you...
