Q1. How to choose a good treadmill?

Shopping for a new treadmill can be a daunting task. Today there are so many options and features on treadmills it is hard to decide which one is right for you.

Have you considered where you would put your treadmill? Before you start shopping for a treadmill you might want to consider a folding treadmill. These work great in limited or confined spaces yet deliver the performance of a non-folding treadmill.

Since you are about to make a large investment in a treadmill, you might want to consider the time you are going to use it. The best treadmill will be the one you will use the most.

Once you have determined your space allocation and the performance requirement of the treadmill it is time to consider the following:

1. Determine the horsepower of the treadmill motor that will meet your needs. The more intense your workouts, the greater horsepower you will need.

2. What is the speed range of the treadmill?

3. To what elevation can you incline your treadmill?

4. The running area of a treadmill can be important especially if you are a tall person . Just make sure the running area of the treadmill can accommodate your size.

5. What is the warranty for the motor, parts, and deck?

You now have a list of treadmills that meet your criteria. Look at the MSRP for each treadmill in your list and make sure the features warrant the price. If you don\'t need all the features, you might want to select a lower end treadmill that will meet your needs but at a lower price.
