Why use a Treadmill?

If you're trying to get in shape and lose a bit of weight, why not try using a treadmill? Walking is still the most natural form of exercise, and a treadmill is specifically designed for walking, jogging or running. Whether you're a beginner or a professional, a treadmill is an ideal way to keep fit. Exercising on a treadmill is a low-impact workout, and a lot less impactful than running outdoors. You can reduce the risk of injury to your joints, hips, and back when using a treadmill over running outside. Keep your muscles flexible and strong whilst also controlling your weight.

Cardio Vascular Fitness

Cardiovascular exercise is the number 1 way to improve your general health, burn body fat and increase your fitness levels. Assessing your cardiovascular goals is the first step and understanding a little about intensity levels will ensure that the time invested in your exercise sessions returns the greatest benefits, rather than a hit and miss approach.

Cardio for good health: This form of exercise is for those wishing to improve quality of life and general well being and is the one for you if you are not out to break any land speed records. Gentle ‘good health’ cardio training will increase your fitness level to a degree, helping you get through day-to-day tasks more easily and with more energy.

Cardio for weight loss: To see a significant reduction in body fat, your sessions must be a little more intense (between 60 and 70% of your estimated maximum heart rate) than that required for a good health approach. These sessions can also be performed on most days of the week for up to 30 minutes and should ideally be supplemented with some form of strength training.

Customer Reviews

Tread lightly
I've only had this treadmill for about four weeks and already the rubber pads either side (where you stand) are peeling off! The clear plastic covering on the panel is also peeling off! Otherwise seems useful, I'm a diabetic so helps keep me fit. Can't recommend it for looks, can recommend it for keeping you healthy. The electronic programs aren't that variable sadly and if you pull out the key, it's vey annoying that you cannot restart from where you stopped - you have to start from beginning again! You lose your calorie count, you lose your distance count, you lose you time count!

Really good
I bought this as a replacement for a cross-trainer as I am really unfit and the cross-trainer was too strenuous for a beginner to spend a decent amount of time on. This is a much gentler exercise as you can start out simply walking and build up to jogging / running if you want to.

Once set up, the product is great. It feels sturdy and solid. I am sure it is unlikely to break but the warranty is excellent so there should not be anything to worry about.

The machine is very heavy. I set it up in a spare bedroom and it took a lot of lifting up the stairs. This is because most of the machine comes in one piece. This is great for setting the thing up (less than fifteen minutes to have it running, using the tools provided) but means it is difficult to transport. Once it is place though most people will not move it and alothough it is large, it takes up less space than the cross trainer did because the deck folds out of the way. In use, you really need about six feet of space so you have enough room if you were to trip and fall off.

There is one error in the description of the treadmill. It says on Amazon that the top speed is 12kph. It is actually 10kph.
