Best Treadmill
By Faith T. Prieur
What's the best treadmill out there? Well, you can spend hours or even whole days worth of timing scouring comprehensive consumer reports, or you can get down to the business of figuring out which treadmill feels the best and best supports your commitment to personal fitness.
All the consumer reports in the world can't tell you how you will feel on the treadmill, or if you will have difficulty with the controls. Sure these consumer services can be a handy way to help decide between equal seeming options, but they're really not a good substitute for hands-on experience on the unit itself.
The best treadmill for you, depends largely on what is important to you when it comes to your exercise routine. If you have particular injuries or health concerns, it is important that you choose a treadmill that will not hinder your condition. Though the concept and form of a treadmill are simple enough, not all treadmills feel the same nor have the exact same interaction with one's body.
Only by getting on and trying out several treadmills will you be able to get a feel for which one is going to feel the best and help you get and stay excited about exercising. So a good first step would be to go to a gym and try out all the treadmills there. If you can't find more than two or three models, try out your friend's gym too. And while your there, why not ask some of the personal trainers what their opinions about particular treadmill models are.
Another way to approach determining which is the best treadmill for you is to compile a list of common treadmill features that are most important to you. Some treadmill features that many people enjoy are: heart rate monitors, step counters, displays showing the amount of calories burnt and the ability to change the elevation of the walking surface.
Is noise a factor? Some people are bothered by excessive noise, while other couldn't care less. Maybe you want to keep a treadmill in a location where noise would bother others, or perhaps you will be using it while talking on the phone. These are certainly reasons why noise level of prospective treadmills would be a consideration.
It's not a bad idea to refer to a consumer oriented type of service once you've narrowed treadmills don to a few that you're most interested in. These services can be a great way to find out about long term performance and maintenance issues that other owners have had. There's really no substitution for personal experience, and the next best thing is second hand experience of others that have used the same unit you're looking at.
Don't be surprised if the best treadmill isn't this years latest thing. Only treadmills a few years old will really be able to pass an overall test of compatibility. Only after a few years are owners able to really see how the unit is going to stand up to wear and tear, or how easy or difficult it is to deal with the company for replacement parts or maintenance service.
While there are many useful services of online consumer groups when it comes to making a decision such as what is the best treadmill for you, but when it comes right down to it, only persona, hands-on trial and error is going to help you choose the treadmill that's best for you.
