It’s not always practical to go outside to jog or walk. Maybe you live
in the big city or maybe it’s winter and you can’t really enjoy the
outdoors. That’s where exercise treadmills come in. Treadmills allow
you the freedom to simulate walking and jogging without having to
actually go anywhere. Simply put, exercise treadmills have a conveyor belt which moves antagonistically to the user’s direction.
of horizontal movement. Okay, that may not have been simple.
Essentially, the belt on treadmills moves in the opposite direction
that you do.
Exercise treadmills have been heavily endorsed by most health
experts since walking is considered one of the best cardiovascular
workouts possible. We all know that combining a good workout plan
with a good eating plan is the best way to lose weight and stay fit.
Exercise treadmills help you do that in any weather, on your terms.
The speed of the treadmills can be adjusted to suit your capabilities
so you won’t injure yourself.
There are two basic types of exercise treadmills: manual treadmills
and electric treadmills. In manually operated treadmills, you act as
the engine. The belt only moves when you’re actually walking on it,
so the faster you go the faster it goes. Electric exercise treadmills
tend to be a little more polished. The speed of the belt can be
adjusted by speed controls so you can set it to any speed you’re
comfortable with. These treadmills also tend to have more
sophisticated displays and can usually monitor your heart rate. This
is especially important for people who have heart conditions but
also need to keep fit.
Of course, you have to pay for these extras and electric exercise
treadmills can cost as much as ten times the amount of manual
treadmills. The actual price of the treadmills depends on their level
of quality and durability. Another factor is how smart the treadmills
are. You read right. Today’s high end treadmills actually have the
ability to change their speed to match your pace, without you
having to adjust anything.
Unfortunately, exercise treadmills are excessively boring since
there’s no change in scenery. And they take up a fair amount of
space in your home. Plus, you need to make sure small children
can’t get on the treadmills so they don’t hurt themselves. Still,
exercise treadmills are growing in popularity. There’s not a quality
gym that doesn’t boast at least three treadmills these days.
Treadmills really are a great way to shed those few extra pounds or just keep in shape, especially if you’ve got some music on.
