What is the Best Treadmill for Me?

Here a few important features that you should consider before purchasing a treadmill.

Heart rate monitor/sensor

Many of the latest treadmills have heart rate sensors, usually located in convenient handle grips in front of the main console. Holding these for a short while will display your heart rate, enabling you to adjust your speed etc to increase or lower it, depending on your goals.

Safety grips

Often containing the heart rate monitors as well, these are a typical safety feature of electric treadmills, enabling you to keep steady, especially when running at higher speeds.

Running Belt

This is the rubber belt that all treadmills have. They come in various sizes, bigger ones allowing more comfort for faster runs, however a bigger belt means a bigger treadmill, which isn't always ideal.

Incline

Incline is an additional feature of many electric treadmills. An incline is intended to simulate different running terrains (hills, etc). A higher incline increases the difficulty of the run. Many treadmills will have pre-set programs that may alter the incline frequently over the run to simulate a more natural experience.

Pre-set training programmes

This feature is excellent for both beginners and advanced runners. Most treadmills will come preloaded with a number of training programs, ranging from a beginner simple timed jog, to the advanced 'all terrain' interval training. These are an excellent way to both gain fitness, and to provide interesting variety in to your training.

Console Display

Most modern treadmills also have a visual display giving you feedback about your workout; distance travelled, calories burned, speed etc. These are often controllable too, enabling you to have the information most important to you on screen at all times.

Speed setting

This is an important setting on all treadmills, and you need to be careful when adjusting. Each model may have a different speed range, as a rough guide up to 12km is fine for beginners, 14-16kmh for medium to advanced runners, and up to 18kmh for professionals and runners in serious training.

Features Most Important to You?

As well as the basic features of the machine it is also worth considering your goals, and checking the machines suitability for them.

Below are some common goals, and things to look out for that will help achieving it.

Other things to consider...

Costs

Obviously a manual (non electric) treadmill will afford better value for money, and often be more compact. However if you are likely to become serious about your training, you may wish to consider an electric treadmill. Powered treadmills are available in a wide range of prices, and a quality machine can now cost just a few hundred, rather than thousand pounds.

Space

In general treadmills tend to take up a lot of room. As a guide a decent sized machine will occupy the same floorspace as a single bed. Don't forget to allow for some space around the machine as well, for both safety and comfort.

Will I need any additional equipment?

This will depend largely on your personal goals. Treadmills are an excellent way to improve general fitness and lose weight. If your goals also include upper body fitness and or increased muscle, then you may want to consider looking at additional home gym equipment such as an Abdominal exerciser, and or a weights bench.

Foldable, or Not?

One of the biggest differences amongst treadmills, both manual and electric is whether it's foldable or not.

The space saving benefits of a folding treadmill are obvious, but is that all there is to it? Let's take a look at the bigger picture, and hopefully help you decide which is more suitable for you.

As we have said already, the number one benefit of a folding treadmill clearly is that it can save you space. Sometimes its simply a case of folding it up, then sliding it in to a cupboard, or under the bed, and it's no longer to be seen.

This has the added benefit of making cleaning much easier too. If you only have the treadmill out when you are using it, you wont have to move it every time you want to vacuum etc.

These two benefits alone are often enough to make people decide on a folding treadmill, and indeed for those with limited space it may well be essential. However for those that do have enough space, there are other issues that are very much worth considering.

Health and Safety

In terms of health and safety, by far the most important quality of a treadmill is its stability. Non folding treadmills almost always out perform folding ones in this area. Have you noticed that in a commercial gym, all the treadmills are large solid units, the reason for this being the stability and safety they provide.

This is not to say that folding treadmills are unsafe, many of today's top folding models have a great level of stability. However most serious runners will naturally go for the solid machine based on this fact alone.

Convenience vs Stability

It is worth considering the convenience versus stability issue when you make a purchase, but sometimes the decision will already be made for you (space available, and budget). The important thing over all is to buy the best quality machine that suits your goals within your budget. Safe and consistent work outs are the best way to guarantee meeting your goals.
