The question of how to choose a treadmill, recently worried the minds of many people who care about their health and appearance, because many want to do at home. In gyms, it is sometimes simply impossible to approach this equipment, especially at a time when most of the trainees rush to fitness clubs. The attractiveness of this device for cardio training lies mainly in the fact that it is suitable for practicing people of almost all categories. It can train both a highly qualified athlete, and an ordinary person for weight loss or one who can not fully load his body due to injuries or any other pathologies of the motor system. What should be the treadmill for the home?
Consider the main varieties of this cardiac equipment, available today in specialized stores. First of all, they are divided by functionality. So, for example, a treadmill, the price of which is the highest of all possible options, having a high-power electric drive, a depreciation system, a full electronic scoreboard, a built-in TV, as well as properties such as heart rate control, calorie counter, load programming, by definition, device for the privileged class. After all, its cost is comparable, perhaps, with the cost of a good car.
Naturally, this treadmill is bought either for the purpose of owning an expensive thing, or for ensuring the training process in the gym, where the flow of students is great.
There is a cardio simulator of this type of a simpler device, for example, with a mechanical drive. The canvas of such a path moves until the trainee himself exerts the corresponding pushing effort. Its plus, in addition to price, is also that it does not consume energy at all. Although, of course, the level of comfort in training will increase significantly if the user purchases a treadmill with a magnetic drive. In this type of cardio equipment, the stroke is smoother compared to the previous version. In addition, the load in such simulators is more discrete and can be monitored and recorded from lesson to lesson. As for the availability of additional "chips", it is far from the fact that they will be required at home. Why, for example, have a built-in monitor at home for watching videos, if you can simply install a TV or mini-cinema right in front of the track?
The same applies to the pulse meter, you can completely get by with a special device mounted on the wrist. Thus, the question of which treadmill to choose for home use should be decided consistently, based on the urgent needs of those people who will be engaged in it.
For example, for a person who gives her only 15 - 20 minutes a day every morning for active awakening, it is unlikely that such built-in functions will be needed that will allow you to change the angle of the canvas, build a complex speed trajectory, and so on.
