For beginners, you can choose entry-level treadmills, and for runners with a certain foundation, you can choose intermediate and advanced treadmills. In addition, the brand and after-sales service of the treadmill are also factors that need to be considered when choosing. Before purchasing, you can check online user reviews and reviews to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the treadmill and choose a treadmill that suits you.
Nowadays, consumers pay more attention to health. Some people use running to exercise, while others use running to relieve stress and lose weight.

Running outdoors is easily restricted by weather, time and other factors. Gyms are expensive and there are many uncertainties. If you have a treadmill at home, you can use your trivial time to exercise at home, which not only makes good use of time, but also serves the purpose of exercising.

How to choose a treadmill for home use?


The motor is the core component of the treadmill and determines the maximum speed and weight of the treadmill. Horsepower has two parameters, continuous horsepower and peak horsepower.
Continuous horsepower: the continuous power output of the treadmill motor, which refers to uniform speed.
Peak Horsepower: The maximum power output of a treadmill motor. It's like a 100-meter sprint, but this speed is unsustainable.

The main thing to look at when purchasing is sustained horsepower. The continuous horsepower is 1.0-2.0HP, which can satisfy consumers weighing less than 200 pounds. If you are a professional athlete or a consumer doing high-intensity exercise, you can choose a treadmill with higher horsepower.

Shock absorption


Running will cause damage to the knees to some extent, and a treadmill with good shock absorption will protect the runner's knees from stress.

At present, treadmill shock absorption systems mainly include spring shock absorption, silica gel shock absorption, air bag shock absorption, and composite shock absorption.
Composite shock absorption combines different shock absorption technologies into one. It has good shock absorption effect but is relatively expensive. It is mainly used on high-end treadmills.

Air bag shock absorption is to apply the technology in running shoes to the treadmill, and achieve the shock absorption effect by adding multiple air bags. It has good shock absorption effect, low sound and more comfortable foot feel. The better airbag shock absorber is the foreign brand Reebok.

Running belt length and width


The larger the running belt area, the better the comfort and stability.

The length of the running belt is preferably no less than 130cm and the width is no less than 45cm.
If you are tall, it is recommended to choose a longer and wider running belt.

The treadmill is one of the most common and practical aerobic fitness equipment in the gym. It provides us with a convenient way to run indoors. Proper use of treadmills for training can help us effectively enhance cardiopulmonary function, burn calories, and shape our bodies, but at the same time, we need to pay attention to some key details to ensure safety and health.
First of all, correct running form is crucial to the effectiveness of training. On the treadmill, keep your chest raised, head raised, and arms swinging naturally. The arms can be slightly bent, but do not swing them excessively. Maintain body stability and balance and avoid leaning forward or backward excessively, which can reduce the pressure on the waist and knee joints.
Secondly, the speed and slope of the treadmill must be reasonably controlled. Beginners should start at a lower speed on flat slopes and gradually increase as they get used to it. The running speed on the treadmill is generally recommended to be between 6-9 km/h, which can be adjusted according to personal physical condition and fitness goals. The incline can be adjusted as needed, and increasing the incline can increase exercise intensity and burn calories.

Correct breathing is also very important during treadmill training. Breathe deeply to transport oxygen throughout your body, helping to increase endurance and reduce fatigue. Generally, it is more reasonable to adopt a breathing method of 4 steps for one inhale and 4 steps for one exhale, but it can also be adjusted according to personal circumstances.

In addition, heart rate control during treadmill training is also very important. You can monitor your heart rate in real time with a handheld heart rate monitor or using the treadmill's built-in heart rate monitoring function. Generally speaking, the heart rate of aerobic exercise is controlled between 60% and 85% of the maximum heart rate, so that it can be maintained in the effective aerobic exercise range and achieve good fat loss results.
Finally, pay attention to relaxing and stretching after running. Moderate stretching can help reduce muscle fatigue and tension and avoid muscle soreness. You can stretch your legs, hips, waist and other muscles, hold each stretching action for 15-30 seconds, and gradually relax and breathe.

In summary, the treadmill is a very effective aerobic fitness tool, but you must pay attention to correct posture, speed and slope control, reasonable breathing and heart rate monitoring, and appropriate relaxation and stretching. Only by using treadmills for training scientifically and rationally can we achieve good fitness results and maintain the health and vitality of the body.
