Treadmills are one of the most popular cardiovascular exercise machines you can buy. They’re very versatile – use them for a gentle stroll in the front room, or for gruelling marathon training whatever the weather. If you’re short of space (and treadmills can be quite large), choose a treadmill that folds away.

Treadmills provide a great workout for your heart and lungs, and will help reduce the chance of obesity, heart disease and general coronary problems in later life. A treadmill is a great addition to ensure a healthy lifestyle.

Treadmills also offer the benefit of reduced impact since all treadmills offer some sort of shock absorption. Exercising on a treadmill can reduce the strain to the ankles, knees and lower back of users compared to road running, making it safe and convenient.

Speed

As a guide to looking at treadmill speeds, experts generally say:
0-6mph is for walking and hikers
0-8mph is for anything up to light jog
0-10mph is for a semi-serious runner
0-12mph and above are for dedicated athletes.

For most people, upto 10mph treadmills are more than adequate to suit all users and needs, from beginner to the more advanced.

Incline

The vast majority of treadmills come with some sort of incline adjustment. Adding incline intensifies your workout so if you are buying a treadmill with quite a low maximum speed it might be worth making sure that it has suitable incline levels to add that extra bit of variety. Cheaper models normally only have two or three set incline levels. With other treadmills you can set the incline level to any percentage you want up to a maximum of about 10-15%. This is normally done automatically by a simple press of a button so that you never have to interrupt your workout to change the incline level.
