How good is the treadmill?

If you want to practice running at home, buying a treadmill is the best choice. Many friends do not learn in detail before purchasing a treadmill, resulting in the purchase not meeting their expectations. In fact, when buying a treadmill, you must pay attention to a few points, such as choosing a good brand, so that the quality, safety, and after-sales service are guaranteed, which can save a lot of trouble. Different target groups of people need to choose treadmills with corresponding functions. For example, if it is used by the elderly, a treadmill with slow walking and reverse walking functions is needed. If it is used by young people, you can choose a treadmill with a fast running speed. You can buy according to your needs.

1. The most important indicators are shock absorption and load bearing

Shock absorption can be said to be a relatively prominent advantage of treadmills. A treadmill with a good shock absorption system can indeed reduce damage to the joints, especially the knee joints, when running. When running on cement and asphalt roads, the body has to bear a weight that is 3 to 5 times greater than its own body weight, which puts a great burden on the knees (this is why you must buy good running shoes when running on cement roads and if you are a little overweight, also for shock absorption~~). Running on a treadmill can effectively reduce the pressure on the knee joints. The shock absorption of the treadmill is composed of a running belt, running deck, base frame (rollers), rubber columns, and springs. It is a complex engineering system. It is not possible to achieve a better shock absorption effect by simply superimposing it.

2. Motor and speed

The motor is the power source of the treadmill. Generally, good ones use the so-called F-level industrial motors, where the F refers to the insulation level. The temperature of the motor will rise when it is running. If the temperature exceeds the maximum operating temperature of the insulation material inside the motor for a long time, the aging of the insulation will be accelerated and the service life will be seriously shortened. Therefore, when the motor is running, temperature is one of the main factors affecting its life. And F grade is a higher insulation grade. Therefore, it is best to use a motor with high-grade insulation material for the treadmill to extend the service life of the machine.

There are many benefits of running. First of all, running is an aerobic exercise that can burn fat and enhance the body's metabolism, thereby achieving a weight loss effect. In addition, running exercises the body, improves muscle function, and increases hormone secretion in the body. As long as your running posture is correct, persisting in running can make your body more beautiful, such as having a perky butt, a protruding front and a curved back, etc.
