A treadmill is a common exercise machine for home use. It, in principle, is quite realistic to place in a classic city apartment, and the reviews about the treadmills, and more precisely about the results of classes on them, are very impressive.
Types of tracks
There are three main types of this simulator:
- Mechanical treadmill. Reviews indicate that this type of track is the cheapest. The drive in the mechanical path is your legs. You yourself rotate the canvas while running. Such tracks are simple, inexpensive. Of the minuses, a large load on the legs and a high level of noise during use should be noted.
- A magnetic treadmill is similar to a mechanical one, the difference is the implementation of the load mechanism. This simulator has a special metal plate and magnet. When you change the load, you change the distance between the metal plate and the magnet, thereby creating more or less strong magnetic fields. This type of treadmill is more expensive than mechanical, but cheaper than electric. In operation, such tracks are quieter than mechanical, but the noise level is still quite high. The absence of excess rubbing elements (in a mechanical track, the load is realized precisely through friction) in the design provides a long resource of the device.
- Electric tracks are the most convenient to use. There is a mechanism for automatic rotation of the canvas, this removes the extra load from your feet. Also on such tracks there is always a regulator of the angle of the canvas (you can create an imitation of running in a straight line or uphill). On the first two types of treadmills that we covered above, you always run uphill. Buyers say this is the optimal treadmill for the home. Reviews are a confirmation of this. Electric tracks are a bit bulky, but not prohibitive. Prices are also the highest in the segment.
How much to run
To get the results, you need to practice on the track for at least 30-40 minutes. in a day. It is ideal to spend the lesson early in the morning, immediately after waking up (before breakfast). This is the best period for burning fat. The fact is that over the past night your body absorbed all the carbohydrates that it received on the previous day, now during exercise it will have to burn fat reserves in order to get energy for running. And burning fat on the treadmill is our goal.
How to run
Before the active phase of training, walk or slowly walk for about five minutes. This will be your workout. Then go into the phase of active running, the final part of the training is five minutes of a leisurely run or walking (hitch). You can independently adjust the training program, according to your condition, for 2-3 lessons. After each week of running, you can add five minutes to the workout, reaching an hour.
results
The weight loss reviews of the treadmill are positive. Results are noticeable after about a week. If you seriously approach training and adjust the diet, as well as make the food more correct, then in a month you can lose up to ten kilos of excess weight. When training on a treadmill, you use many muscle groups, your body comes in tone.
Manufacturers and customer reviews
Treadmill Torneo reviews has good. The company has long been working in the production of high-quality simulators for sports. The products of this brand in the best way combine price and quality. Reviews on the Torneo treadmill suggest that it is the frequent choice of home exercise machine.
Kettler treadmills are the premium segment of fitness equipment. The manufacturer creates only the most upscale modern reliable products. Prices bite, but the quality is impeccable. Reviews of this type of treadmills are always laudatory. The only negative is the price. If you can afford such a simulator, then do it without hesitation!
DFC treadmill reviews characterize them as one of the lowest in the segment. Cheap but with adequate quality. Of course, such tracks are not as well thought out as the Kettler, but the price is several times lower. Perhaps, during the operation of the DFC track, something will start to creak, something will need to be lubricated, somewhere tightened or adjusted, but this is all solved and not very difficult.
Additional functions
Reviews of treadmills suggest that additional features are sometimes very useful. Almost all treadmills are equipped with a heart rate sensor. Also, the on-board computer is almost always included in the basic package, which displays the number of calories burned per workout, running speed, distance traveled and some other very interesting and useful functions.
If we are talking about expensive models of electric tracks, very often they have a number of special preset training programs, they have a display on them, you can download clips, music, and connect headphones through a special connector on the computer. With such a simulator, training time will fly by quickly. These are the best treadmills, customer reviews will confirm the correctness of these words.
Also useful would be such a trifle as a pocket for small things on a treadmill. There you can put a phone or a bottle of water. Another point that concerns expensive models is depreciation. Not some tracks (with electric drive) have a function of cushioning the canvas when running, this significantly unloads your knees when using the simulator.
Space saving
Regardless of the type of simulator, it can be folding. This is very useful, especially when we are talking about city apartments. Space saving is realized in the simulator by lifting the web up to the handles. Reviews of folding treadmills please with flattering words. Most likely, you should pay 2-3 thousand for a model with such a function.
Also, believing the reviews, we can conclude that with this path you can arrange your training on the balcony or loggia. By the way, it is worth noting that aerobic training in the fresh air carries more effect than in an apartment. Consider this fact if you need to get results in a short time.
Children's paths
Such tracks are designed for the smallest children, the track size is appropriate. On this simulator, children aged 2-5 years can run and walk. But this is more of a toy than a simulator. After all, it is unlikely that your child will use this path to get fit in the summer. Alternatively, your child can run on such a track near you when you practice on a real treadmill.
Of the main in such devices, it is worth highlighting a bright attractive design, but this simulator has a small electric motor and a computer, similar to an adult electric track. But the children's computer is maximally simplified and focused specifically on its use by children. There is nothing complicated and sophisticated in it.
Output
In conclusion, after all that has been said, the ambiguity and complexity of choosing a treadmill for home use should be noted. If you want to buy a simulator for periodic use at home, then you need to clearly evaluate your current athletic form, as some people may find it useful to use a compact mechanical track that can save money. And for some, home jogging is possible only on the electric track with high-quality depreciation, while the money in this matter is not important for them.
If you have several models in mind, then you should evaluate the characteristics of each of them in more detail. In addition, it will not be superfluous to take the help of professional consultants in specialized stores. With their help, you will definitely be able to make the right choice.
The main thing is that after the purchase your trainer does not become a stand for clothes, but is used for its intended purpose and delighted you with the results. They say that any habit is formed in just twenty-one days. You can verify this by getting used to running in the morning on the simulator.
