Home Treadmills
Posted on Monday, October 31 @ 12:37:16 MSK
Topic: Home Gym | Home treadmills are the fastest-growing category of exercise machines. Studies show treadmills are most likely to be used by all family members, making them least likely to wind up as expensive clothes racks. The newest models have shock-absorbing decks that are easier on the joints and pre-set programs and features to hold the user's attention longer.
The Basics
You step on the treadmill and start walking - it's as simple as that. Most models allow incline adjustment to increase the difficulty of the workout; nearly all of the newer machines go fast enough to allow users to run. Depending on the model's sophistication, a computerized monitor will tell you everything from speed and distance covered to elapsed time, calories burned and heart rate.
Fitness Benefits
Brisk walking and running on a treadmill are great ways to get an aerobic workout and to improve your lower body muscle tone. Handrails should be used for comfort and light support, not for holding you up when you get tired.
Key Features
A wide, long belt surface and at least partial handrails are important for safe and comfortable workouts. Machines should have a minimum 1.5-horsepower DC motor. Beyond that, it's up to you to choose what pre-set programs and display functions fit your workout habits.
High-end models will automatically adjust the incline or decline to keep your heart rate within a preset target zone and let you know when you should change speed. Some also have custom programs, sophisticated computer graphics, and automatic shutdown features.
Gym vs. Home Versions
You can get the same sophisticated features in a home model that you'll find at the local gym -- sleek, compact designs, the latest programming features and interactive technologies
- but it'll cost you. More modest but equally effective machines can be found at most sporting goods stores and discount warehouses.
Cost
Prices range anywhere from $500 to more than $5,000, with durable models hovering around the $1,500 range. A higher price will get you a treadmill with a larger walking surface, a higher top speed and a more sophisticated electronic monitor.
Buyer's Tips
- Test the machine before you buy it. Check that the walking surface is wide enough and long enough and that the controls are easy to use and reach.
- Make sure the range of speed is suitable to your workout level; a minimum top speed of 8 mph is advised.
- Treadmills are more likely to break than any other type of home fitness equipment. Don't settle for less than a one-year warranty that covers parts and labor. If all things are equal between two models, opt for the one with the better warranty.
- If you have children or pets, it's wise to invest in a machine that requires a safety key or code to start.
