ALL TREADMILLS- how to choose the perfect treadmill

How to choose a treadmill: You can find a lot of different models and types of treadmills out there whereas the rule of " you get what you pay for" perfectly fit in this category. Treadmills are those pieces of fitness equipment that are used constantly in a home gym and sometimes abused. Never go for a non motorized running machine as these are the type of toys that will end up in your garage or attic within 2 weeks. These cheap versions require you to propel the rollers and the mat yourself making it almost impossible to maintain a constant speed. A motorized treadmill is what you should shop for if you are serious about exercise. Motorized treadmills emulate the actual jogging experience and training. The more sophisticated models come with a computer that provides different training modes and can simulate hills by adjusting the steepness of the running mat.

Quality treadmill motors are the most important thing to look for. You need to understand that you constantly bounce up and down the mat with a force comparable to 5 times you actual body weight so the motor must support this continuous abuse. According to our tests and research IRONMAN TREADMILLS and also horizon treadmills provide to their machines heavy duty motors.
Another important factor to consider when shopping for a jogging simulator is the actual length of its mat: The longer and wider the better, period! Consider your height as well. Your workout habits are also a factor to consider: if you run once or twice a week an FITNEX treadmill will get the job done and last you a lifetime. If on the other side you consider yourself a gym rat and you train four to five times a week a semi professional PRECOR treadmill is what you are looking for with several training programs available, heart monitoring and top of the line motors and belts.

Once again a treadmill is the most important fitness equipment in your home gym and has to be considered an investment. Trust me when I tell you that in the long run a quality treadmill will pays off versus a cheap one that will last you few months.
