Exercising on a treadmill will help you lose weight and improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system. Choosing the right treadmill is essential to making your treadmill workouts enjoyable.
Instructions
Step 1
Treadmills are divided into mechanical and electrical, but both consist of the same elements: a rotating belt and handrails. When using a mechanical track, no electrical energy is consumed and its weight is much less due to the absence of an electric motor. The disadvantage of "mechanics" is that the canvas must be pushed by the force of one's own legs. In addition, the mechanical track control panel supports only the simplest functions: measuring heart rate, exercise time, distance traveled and calories burned.
Step 2
The electric treadmill is powered by an electric motor and no effort is required to propel the treadmill. The electrical control panel allows you to use special programs or create your own. The main component of an electric treadmill is the motor.
Step 3
When choosing a simulator, first of all pay attention to its power. Power 1.5 HP quite enough if your weight does not exceed 80 kilograms. Although, the more powerful the engine, the more reliable the track.
Step 4
Select the length and width of the treadmill taking into account the data of all family members who will be exercising on the simulator. The optimal canvas is 40 centimeters wide and 120-130 centimeters long.
Step 5
You should know that the dimensions of the simulator depend on the size of the canvas. This is important for those who live in small apartments. The canvas should be soft and multi-layered, this will provide a comfortable environment for exercising and increase its durability.
Step 6
The optimum track speed is considered to be 10 km / h and a little higher.
Step 7
When choosing a simulator, you should pay attention to how the angle of inclination changes. In more advanced models, this function is not performed manually, but automatically.
