Buying Advice

Treadmills are the most popular pieces of exercise equipment purchased for the home. They are easy to use, and according to the American Medical Association, they are the most effective calorie burners for most people. There are many types of treadmills: fold-up models, models designed for walkers, heavy-duty designs for runners, even ones that can monitor your heart rate and adjust your workout accordingly! When buying a treadmill, first figure out what's going to motivate you (and others in your household) to use it regularly.

What To Look For:

• Make sure it is sturdy.
• A wide belt that is long enough to accommodate your stride length.
• Has good shock absorption.
• Lets you vary your workout by adjusting elevation and speed.
• Has motivating programmed courses for variety.
• Has a handgrip in front or along the sides so you can grab it for balance.
• Isn’t very noisy.
• Has a good warranty and service contract.
• Has a good sized motor, especially if running on it.
