Motorized Treadmill - Get Value for Your Money
When it comes to buying a treadmill for your home, there are two basic styles to choose from the old fashioned
manual style and the motorized treadmill like you see in the health clubs. While a manual treadmill might be ok if you are looking to buy an inexpensive unit to walk on,
it really is not going to be the most effective way to get your exercise in. The motorized versions are far more
effective and give you far more options to help you burn the calories you need to if you want to stay healthy and
lose weight.
Why Are They Better
While a manual treadmill might seem like a bargain considering you can buy one for just over
£100 there is only so much you can do on one. To start with you are supplying all of the motive force that makes
the belt move. While you might tend to think that this would provide a much better workout, remember that when you
slow down so does your heart rate and the quality of your workout. On a motorized treadmill you will keep a
steadier pace as the belt stays at a constant speed unless you change it on the console.

On top of this the majority of motorized treadmills have a series of built in programmes that
are designed to provide you with a series of workouts ranging from light calorie burners to all out hard core
workouts that will leave you sweating and ready to collapse if you do not work your way up to it. You will find
that these treadmill running machines offer variable speed settings ranging from as low as
1 mph all the way up to 16 mph where you will be at a full run.
What to Look for
With so many different brands available and each brand having a range of models it can be hard
to know what to look for, especially when the price range is so vast. You can buy several different brands and
styles of motorized treadmill for under £500 and spend well over on others. However, you should realize that just
because you spend more money does not mean that you are going to get a better machine overall.
When you are looking at electric motorized treadmills the one thing you really need to pay
attention to is the horsepower rating of the motor. While all electric
treadmill machines motors are rated in horsepower you need to make sure that you look carefully at the
continuous rating rather than the peak rating. The continuous output rating shows you how the motor is going to
perform under a load. The peak rating only shows you what the motor can do fully unloaded, which is pretty much
worthless information for use in a treadmill application.
Features like iPod connections or built in stereos or televisions are nice, but you should
consider how much flex is built into the deck to relieve the strain on your joints, the power of the motor and the
length of the warranty long before worrying about the fancy accessories that may or may not be of any value to you.
The most important thing is to buy a treadmill that is going to give the best workout and longest life for your
money.
