Essential Treadmill Buying Guide

Essential Treadmill Buying Guide: "Most home treadmills allow you to create a hill effect by changing the incline up to a 15% grade. You want to check for manual incline adjustment only (stop the belt, get off and make the adjustment), push button power incline, and programmable incline which would allow you to program different inclines into your workout. High end treadmills have an automatic incline feature that will change the incline during the workout to increase or decrease your desired heart rate."

Treadmill Fitness

Treadmill Fitness: "A treadmill is ideal exercise equipment to benefit from a cardio fitness program because it satisfies the three requirements: air volume, large muscles, rhythm. Plus, a treadmill will increase bone density and build leg strength more than an elliptical. The FitnessQuest® Manual Treadmill is inexpensive and effective. Combine the treadmill with a Polar M52 Exercise/Fitness Monitor and some cardio fitness knowledge into a meaningful cardio fitness treadmill exercise program.
