================== ARTICLE START ==================

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” – that’s how long the treadmill can keep

working at the rate you’re walking. If you’re a runner, then

you’re 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 you’re taller, look for a treadmill with a belt

that’s 60 inches. You don’t want to end up with a piece of

exercise equipment that doesn’t “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 exercise on it, or is it unstable and wiggly? If

it’s that way at the store, it’ll be that way and more so at

home as you continue to use it.

What happens if the treadmill breaks or you find a part that

doesn’t work correctly? Will someone come to your home to fix

it, or do you have to lug it back to the store? These questions

are important to ask before the purchase.

The treadmill should have at least a 12 month warranty. Of

course, the manufacturer takes the responsibility of fixing a

problem, not the store itself. So you’re going to be dealing

with technicians via phone.

If your space is limited, consider a treadmill that folds. If

you plan to store it under your bed between uses, make sure it

will actually fit under your bed when in the folded position.

If not, it’s not worth the purchase.

You may want to consider the loudness of the motor. In a large

store, the treadmill won’t sound as loud as it will in your

living room. So if you’re unnerved by the noise at the store,

realize it won’t be any quieter at home.

Using a treadmill can be a terrific form of exercise – as long

as you really have a quality piece of equipment. If you’ve

never owned a treadmill before, it may be wise to purchase one

second-handed -just to see if you will use it. Then, if you’re

serious about working out on your treadmill, seek a higher

quality one down the road.
