Today's Top Tips For Buying A Treadmill
Before you even begin to consider which treadmill is ideal, you
should take a good look at yourself. Tips for buying a treadmill
usually focus on the capabilities, features, type of use, and,
of course, the cost of a treadmill, but all of that depends on
you.
Research is tremendously important, and recommendations like a
Consumer Reports treadmill Best Buy are helpful, but knowing
your own capabilities, the type of workouts and fitness goals
that suit you, and your own budget is essential. But a Best Buy
is not necessarily a best buy for everyone.
Goal-Oriented Or Humble Ambitions?--Doesn't Matter
Those designations mean that Consumer Reports and other
reviewers find certain treadmills in each price class
successfully combine quality and features at the best price. It
doesn't mean they're necessarily the best buy for you. Your
rule, among the best tips you can give yourself, is to buy the
best quality treadmill you'll use. . . and use and use.
Here's one of the most common tips for buying treadmills: if
you're a runner, don't look at anything under about $1200. You
need a stable machine with a durable, highly-cushioned deck, and
a running surface long enough and wide enough to accommodate
your stride.
When buying a treadmill, look for a motor to be sufficiently
powerful to handle higher speeds, speed changes, heavier weights
and pounding forces. And you'll likely want or need the more
complex programming found in better treadmills that disciplines
and varies your workouts.
If you're buying a treadmill that will be used by several users,
look for a club-grade machine or remanufactured treadmills which
are mostly former club models. Many have cooled motors for more
continuous use.

Reports, Runners' World, TreadmillDoctor.com, and other online
