The treadmill is usually referred to as a cardio equipment. When used correctly, the track can improve the state of the cardiovascular system, increase the endurance of the body as a whole. Also, exercising on a treadmill is a great way to lose weight, because the benefits of running are very great. But even with all these advantages, after two or three months, you can stop using this machine. And the reason for this will not be lack of motivation, but the wrong choice of the simulator.
Instructions
Step 1
Treadmill type.
To begin with, you must decide which track to buy - electrical or mechanical. The main difference is that in a mechanical treadmill, the belt rotates due to your efforts, while in an electric treadmill, an electric motor spins. The main advantages of mechanical tracks are the lack of energy costs, the low weight of the simulator, and accessibility. But on the other hand, not every person likes to rotate the canvas on their own, this creates an additional load on the legs. On the electric treadmill, you can set any speed you want, and many models have specific exercise programs that you can use.
Step 2
Electric motor.
In the event that you have chosen an electric track, you need to pay attention to the power of the motor. After all, the speed of rotation and the maximum weight that the treadmill can withstand depends on the power.
Step 3
Running belt.
The running belt is a belt that rotates on two rollers. There are many points that you must pay attention to. Firstly, these are the dimensions of the canvas. The length and width should be selected taking into account the needs of all family members who will be exercising on the simulator. The best option is a canvas with a width of 40 cm and a length of 1, 2 meters. Second is the number of layers. The more there are, the longer the treadmill will last. Try to choose a double-sided blade; when worn, you can simply turn it over.
Step 4
Control Panel.
As a standard, the control panel should contain indicators of heart rate, distance, running speed, calories burned. It is important that there is a safety key on the panel that will turn off the treadmill if a person falls. Also, the treadmill can have a lot of additional options. For example, training programs that will themselves determine your load.
