15 best treadmills

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

In the conditions of modern life, residents of a metropolis have a lack of movement: a vehicle will take them to the desired address, and work in far from all professions involves physical activity. In this regard, numerous problems arise not only with the tone of the body, but also with health in general. Various simulators, in particular treadmills, help to solve the problem. Having one at home or working out in the gym, you can overcome a 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 the size of the simulator, there is one rule here: the more, the better, the more effective the training will be. It is important that the width and length of the running belt are sufficient for the stride and body movement of the athlete.
2. The second rule follows from the first: if there is not enough space in the house and it is completely difficult to install the treadmill, choose a folding model, which, as unnecessary, can be transformed into a compact form and put away for storage.
3. The third sign of a good machine is a powerful engine. The more watts it contains, the better, the more voluminous its resource is for any weight of users without going into the peak of the inherent capabilities. Also, experts noted a lower noise level of more powerful models in comparison with economical less hardy ones.
4. The fourth thing that is important to pay attention to is changing the angle of inclination of the platform with the canvas. This is necessary to complicate the training process, imitate running on rough or mountainous terrain, which increases the load on the calf muscles and stimulates the vestibular apparatus.
5. The fifth focus of attention is training programs. Again, the more there are, the faster and more efficiently you can achieve the desired result – losing weight, strengthening muscles or stimulating the cardiovascular system. This also includes the speed resource, as a rule, from 1 to 16 or 22 km / h, some rehabilitation devices provide for a rate of 0.2 km / h.
6. Tracks are mechanical (driven by shafts with a rubber mating strap), magnetic (driven by foot movement and magnetic switching and regulation systems), electric (powered by a plug-in motor), professional or domestic.
7. Cost should not be a priority when choosing a treadmill, but it is proportional to the performance of the device.

Treadmill or exercise bike

The treadmill and stationary bike are similar in effect: both devices carry out complex cardio training. 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 in weight loss + general strengthening effect + suitable for rehabilitation of disabled people and in the postoperative period	+ minimal injury risk + training programs, different speed of movement + you can train with varicose veins of the legs + adjustable load on the spine and joints + allowed if walking is impossible
Minuses	– Possibility of injury – with caution in case of varicose veins – stress on joints and spine	– minimal stress on the back muscles and shoulder girdle – contraindicated in many cardiac pathologies

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