Though going for a run or walk outside is a great way to exercise and relax, treadmills are nice to have for a variety of reasons. Things like uncooperative weather, noisy traffic and a lack of daylight sometimes mean that being outside isn't always the best option. Fortunately, treadmills offer a solution that lets you get your workout at anytime without restrictions and can allow you to still watch your favorite TV show or keep an eye on your kids. As with all home gym machines, treadmill prices and features vary, but all treadmills offer you a convenient exercise option in your home.
Choose a location. Decide where you want to keep your treadmill. Many treadmills are too cumbersome to be moved with every use and will require a dedicated space, but some treadmill styles, like folding treadmills, can give you full-size performance without taking up a lot of space when not in use. Once you know where you want to keep your treadmill, you will know how large your treadmill can be and whether or not you want a folding treadmill.
Decide on motorized or manual. Manual treadmills do not have a motor. You simply run or walk, and the belt moves to match your pace. Manual treadmills tend to be more affordable and lighter weight than motorized treadmills. If you're looking for a cheap treadmill, a manual one may be a wise choice. Motorized treadmills move the belt at a set speed, and it is up to you to keep your legs moving that fast. The speed is adjustable, but the constant speed is great for maintaining a steady pace.
Pick your options. Most treadmills, even manual treadmills, will have a display, but there are many different levels of displays. Some displays will only tell you your speed or how far you have gone. Many motorized treadmills have computers that allow you to run training programs that automatically adjust your pace and incline as you run. Some of the best treadmills will even have heart-rate monitors and can tell you how many calories you burn in a workout. The ability of the treadmill to become more compact is also a feature worth looking into. Folding treadmills are a great space-saving solution, and even if they won't fit under your bed, the smaller footprint, when the treadmill is not in use, makes it easier to keep treadmills in offices and guestrooms.
