What brand of treadmill is good? Tips for buying treadmills

A treadmill can help you overcome laziness, make up for your lack of perseverance, and help you run a certain distance at a set speed. Running is the most efficient exercise and can make you sweat profusely in a short period of time. It is especially effective for exercising the heart, lungs and limbs. Running can make you healthy, fit, good-humored and energetic. Now I will talk about how to choose a treadmill based on my experience .

1. Safety

1. There is a safety lock; when you fall, it will automatically stop the treadmill;

2. Instead of measuring the heart rate by hand, other methods should be used to ensure that the heart rate does not exceed a safe range. Hand-held heart rate measuring devices are not practical because people's hands are swinging when they run fast and they do not hold the handlebars.

3. The lower the treadmill, the better; when you fall, you won’t feel like you’ve fallen from a height; the treadmill itself is also the most stable.

4. There are no baffles on both sides of the treadmill (the baffles are higher than the treadmill); this way, when your feet go beyond the treadmill, you will not stop suddenly and cause your body to lose balance.

5. Handles should preferably be round; straight, protruding handles are dangerous. When you fall your face might hit the handle.

6. The width of the running belt should be greater than or equal to 45 cm, so that it is not easy to run outside;

8. It is best to have protruding points at both ends of the running belt so that you can feel and correct when you run off the track;

7. Everyone can go astray and anyone can fall. This is something we don’t want to encounter but it almost always happens.

2. Selection of maximum speed

A) Young men or people in particularly good health should choose a maximum speed greater than or equal to 15 km/h;

B) Older people can choose a maximum speed of 10 km/h;

C) Others can choose a maximum speed greater than or equal to 12 km/h;

D) One principle is: you should leave room for your future speed improvement;

E) If the treadmill itself has a slope of about 5% (or the slope is adjustable), the maximum speed can be reduced by one level.

3. Comfort

1. Low noise, including the noise of the motor and the treadmill. People usually listen to music or watch TV when running indoors, so quietness is important.

2. The treadmill itself does not need a special shock-absorbing function, and our shoes should have a shock-absorbing function;

4. Durable

The treadmill should not have painted parts, otherwise the paint will be worn off after a short time;

5. Convenience

1. Foldable to reduce the space occupied when not in use;

2. A very large red digital tube display is enough, which can display the distance, speed, time, tilt angle, calories consumed, heart rate, etc. in turn.

3. It has a program setting function that uses scientific exercise steps to simplify daily operations.

4. There is a place to put water bottles;

6. Price

A) The market price of an electric treadmill that basically meets the above requirements is generally 3,000 to 5,000 yuan now, and its price is estimated to fall between 2,000 and 3,000 yuan within a year;

B) Three-phase AC speed regulating motors and DC speed regulating motors and their control and drive technologies are very mature, and there should be no difference between imported and domestic ones. The noise of the motor is generally much smaller than that of the treadmill; don't let some manufacturers cheat you out of your money in the name of imported motors.

C) Domestic products are good enough, don’t waste your money on “foreign brands”.

7. Treadmill slope setting function

A) Automatic, can be adjusted while running;

B) Manual, which needs to be adjusted before running;

C) I don’t think this feature is important. Of course it’s better to have it, but I’m afraid it will cost more money.

D) If the treadmill has this function, it doesn’t matter if the maximum speed is lower, as the exercise load can be adjusted by the slope. However, treadmills with this function generally have a very high maximum speed.

Through the above detailed introduction, I think everyone must have a clear idea of ​​how to choose a treadmill that suits them. It is not difficult to choose a treadmill of any brand according to the conditions of your choice.
