Essential Keys To Remember When You Buy Your Very Own Treadmill

I have just recently convinced myself to actually take good care of my health. Over the past twenty years, I have not been able to properly take good care of myself as I have been extremely busy with work. My response to wanting to look after myself is to start working out at home with a treadmill. And since I am not much of a social person, I believe that a treadmill at home will suit me best. Because I was able to keep a list of important things to remember in buying a treadmill, I figured that the

Horsepower. It is very important that you are able to check for the continuous-duty rating for the motor\\’s true horsepower and watch out for misleading terms such as \\”treadmill duty\\” and \\”peak horsepower\\” which are usually gimmicks to unrealistically raise the horsepower.

Motor Electronics. A smooth running treadmill is not based on the horsepower alone. Good electronics will allow a motor with less horsepower to run better than a much larger motor with poor electronics. It is also important to know that a good motor uses a microprocessor to maintain a steady clip, which is nothing more than simple circuitry that senses belt load and communicates with the motor to make necessary adjustments to assure smooth operation.

Motor Torque. Torque is force applied to a lever so as to make an object rotate. Torque is also being used in wrenches. Many of these motors also apply torque to rotate a shaft to do work against a resistive load. Ensure that you have a steady torque.

Motor Controller. Remember that the treadmill motor will be controlled by an electrical power board which regulates the positive and negative electrical currents to the motor. Most use either a PWM board (Pulse Width Modulated) or an SCR board (Solid State Control Rectifier).

Speed. A lot of treadmills run from 0 to 10 m.p.h., though some designed specifically for walking may have more limited speeds. The right Treadmill for you will match your own pace, whether fast or slow. The starting speed is a more important issue, and so it is recommended to have a safe starting speed of 0.5 m.p.h. or less.

Safety. Always keep in mind that because motorized treadmills are a moving machine, certain safety precautions must be included as standard features, including an emergency shut-off that is easily accessible, the ability to limit incline and speed, a gradual start and stop, and accessible hand rails for both runners and walkers. To be guaranteed of the safest treadmill to use for your workout, it is best to contact a treadmill assembly specialist who can take care of you treadmill assembly.
