15 best treadmills

In the conditions of modern life, residents of the megalopolis have a shortage of traffic: a vehicle will take you to the right address, and work in far from all professions involves physical activity. In this regard, there are numerous problems not only with the tone of the body, but also health in general. Various simulators help to solve the problem, in particular treadmills. Having such a home or doing in the gym, you can overcome significant mileage in comfortable conditions in any weather.

The right choice: what to look for when choosing a treadmill

1. The first thing to evaluate is size of the simulator, here the rule is one: the more the better, the more effective the training will be. It is important that the width and length of the running belt be sufficient for the stride and movements of the athlete's body.
2. The second rule follows from the first: if there is little space in the house and it’s difficult to install the treadmill, choose a folding model that you can transform into a compact form as unnecessary and put it away for storage.
3. The third sign of a good simulator - powerful engine. The more watts in it, the better, the more voluminous its resource for any user weight without switching to the peak of its capabilities. Also, experts noted lower noise of more powerful models compared to economical, less hardy ones.
4. Fourth, what is important to pay attention to - changing the angle of the platform with the canvas. This is necessary to complicate the process of training, imitation of running across rugged or mountainous areas, contributing to an increase in the load on the calf muscles and stimulation of the vestibular apparatus.
5. Fifth focus - training programs. Again, the more of them, the faster and more effectively you can achieve the desired result - losing weight, strengthening muscles or stimulating the cardiovascular system. Here we will also assign a speed resource, as a rule, from 1 to 16 or 22 km / h, with some rehabilitation devices a rate of 0.2 km / h is provided.
6. The tracks are mechanical (driving shafts with a rubber mating belt), magnetic (driving through foot movement, and a magnetic switching and adjustment system), electric (motor running from a power outlet), professional or home.
7. Cost should not be a priority parameter when choosing a treadmill, but it is proportional to the characteristics of the device.

Treadmill or exercise bike

The treadmill and exercise bike are similar in effect: on both devices, a comprehensive cardio. However, they are fundamentally different in design and method of use. We offer a comparison of these types of simulators in terms of advantages and disadvantages:

Simulator type	Treadmill	Exercise bike
pros	+ training programs + adjustable design + effective at reducing weight + general firming effect + suitable for the rehabilitation of people with disabilities and in the postoperative period	+ minimal trauma + training programs, different speeds + you can train with varicose leg disease + adjustable load on the spine and joints + allowed when walking is impossible
Minuses	- The possibility of injury - with caution when varicose veins - load on joints and spine	- minimum load on the back muscles and shoulder girdle - is contraindicated in many cardiac pathologies

In comparison, the exercise bike and the track are identical, it is impossible to say exactly which device is better. The choice should be made on the basis of the desired result and the recommendations of the attending physician, able to assess the state of the body of a potential athlete.
