Electric Treadmills

Leave a Comment

Treadmills seem only to keep growing in popularity year after year. You often see treadmill workout or running scenes in your favorite TV show or a movie. This familiarity subliminally feeds the intrigue. New models hardly resemble earlier models from the fifties. Cup holders, quick disconnect cords, lap top holders, built in stereo systems are all some of the new features that spark the interest of new comers.

Early treadmill equipment in the 1800’s was designed for churning butter. Dogs and sheep powered the equipment. It was not until 1950’s that a design for cardiovascular and lung testing was patented. Later that patent was sold off to Stair Master then to Nautilus Corporation, and the rest is history. Depending on how old you are you might remember the non-electric treadmills that were so hard to get going and impossible to stop. This was not an inviting experience.

Home exercise equipment has changed tremendously in the last century. The motorized treadmill is usually one of the pieces of equipment included when planning your home gym. There are a few tips to follow when making your decision on purchasing treadmill equipment. First, decide how much you want to spend. Electric treadmills can run any where from $300 to $3000. If you are purchasing in inexpensive or cheap treadmill make sure the company will be around for a while, for replacement parts, and get a good warrantee with your purchase. Try a couple of models out for a trial run. A cup holder for a water bottle is important. Make sure the machine starts smooth and stops slow. A quick disconnect line in case you fall will stop machine. The handrails need to be at a comfort level for you. This is really important, remember you will be walking or running at least 20 minutes so if you are reaching up or leaning way over you could feel muscle strain in your shoulders. A timer and calorie counter is important so you can gauge your progress and challenge yourself. You also can get an adjustable incline on your treadmill this will really make a difference in your workout.

Making sure to get the OK from you a family doctor also needs to be on your checklist. Once that is in line, and your new electric treadmill is set up, you are on your way to one of the best cardio-workout available. Purchasing treadmill equipment is great for calorie burning, weight loss, and fitness training. The Electric Treadmill Site is a good place to start your search.
