Treadmill- One of the Fruitful Investments for all Fitness Freaks..

Treadmill is definetely one of the fruitful investments and one time investments for life. Bought a treadmill from Afton one year back and among the gadgets and home appliances i have bought, treadmill is "The ROBUST" :) :) .

Treadmill comes with two categories motorized and non-motorized. non-motorized treadmills are almost obsolete like floppies..as the User will be Dragged down by the belt moving rear side. it will offer resistance to the user because of the equal opposite speed given by user for a certain period.

Motorized Treadmills are more expensive and with heavy duty such as 4hp and 5 hp :o .



How Treadmill Works?

The principle is a belt system (an electric motor or flywheel connected to a circular run of material) where the top of the belt moves to the rear so as to allow a runner to run an equal, and necessarily opposite speed. Thus the speed of the run can easily be set or measured (the rate at which the belt moves is the rate at which the runner moves). Thanks wiki. :)



Advantages: :) :)
1. Users who are not willing to goto gym can prefer treadmill.
2. Shy Users like me, who are willing to keep themselves fit :) can use treadmill.
3. It Gives the stats about the exact calories burnt for the day, time in which the user was running/walking on treadmill etc. which will be useful.
4. some treadmills give pulserate.
5. Small Fan, Music were also accompanied with treadmill these days giving the user to have more consistent and long walk/run.
6. A Flat surface will help runners/walkers to go for extra time in treadmill than uneven surfaces at grounds and stadiums. :)

DisAdvantages: :( :(
1. Need a lot of space. Even though Treadmills can be folded, still it needs a lot of space.
2. Electricity it consumes will also be higher. :(
3. Many users may not like treadmill after some months, and it becomes boring and they may not be able to run/walk outside also...since they might be used to listen to music/watching tv while running/walking.
4. InAppropriate use or going for higher slopes and inclinations might cause injuries to the user.
5. The belt movement will cause noise after a certain period which will be irritating.
