Treadmills arevery popular machines for improving cardiovascular fitness and strengtheninglower body musculature. Many people who are not comfortablewalking, jogging or running outside use the treadmills in the gym, or at home.The treadmill is designed so you can walk or run by staying in one place, as opposed to running in the open air where you have a continuous forward movement.
Many people like treadmills because they provide shock absorption, and have less of an impact on your ankles, knees, and lower back than running outside. Because treadmills are indoors, one doesn't have to contend with hard surfaces, bad weather, traffic, and other outdoor distractions. Indoors, they can do other things at the same timesuch as watch television, readand talk on the phone.
Many treadmills have built-in electronic programs like interval training and climbing for fun and variety. Some have heart rate monitors, can monitor steps taken, mileage,and calorie counts. It is estimated, though that thecalorie counts can be inaccurate by as much as 25%.
Do remember that thetreadmill is a complicated piece of machinery, and can be dangerous if not usedwith care and caution. Children and the elderly in particular need careful supervision to ensure they don't fall or misuse the equipment, causing serious accidents. In the gym environment, ask one of the floor attendants or personal trainers to help you understand how best to use the treadmill to achieve your workout goal.
If you don't like the gym or fitness club environment and prefer to work out in the comfort of your own home, there are many options available to you. You can buy a new treadmill direct from a well-known treadmill manufacturer like Proform or Bowflex. QVC and the Home Shopping Network sell treadmills, or you can opt for a retailer like Sears or Sports Authority. If you are happy to buy a used treadmill, you can purchase and bid online at Ebay, or check out your local Craiglist. Don't forget though that like everything else, you get what you pay for. You don't have to pay a fortune for a machine with bells and whistles that you will never use and that won't necessarily help you get fit. But you do want a machine that is reliable,won't break down, and will last.
