Optimum Fitness Fitness News and equipment reviews
While local gyms may always seem packed with customers, the fact remains that a majority of people exercise in their own homes. And treadmills remain the popular choice for home exercise equipment. In today’s post we will look at the Five best treadmills for Home use in 2024
Shopping for the right treadmill can be a difficult and even daunting task. For starters, finding one that both fits your budget and provides the quality of exercise you’re looking for is always a challenge. Moreover, what fits someone else’s needs may not be the right fit for you.
Here are some things to consider when buying a treadmill for home use in 2024, as well as some of the top machines on today’s market:
Pricing – You can typically find budget and mid-priced treadmills at large retailers. For more expensive brands, you’ll probably have to shop at a specialty fitness store.
Size – Keep in mind that you’ll need at least two feet on each side and the back to get on and off the treadmill. Most treadmills measure 6.5 feet by 3.5 feet.
Ergonomics – A longer deck is better if you do more running than walking.
High-Tech Features – Many treadmills now include wireless internet connections, as well as docks for iPods and USB ports.
Adjustability – Check and see the incline features; most treadmills incline up to 10 percent, some as high as 15 percent.
Assembly – Ask both about delivery and assembly. Remember, a treadmill can weigh up to 400 pounds.
