Benefits of Electronic Treadmills
September 10, 2008 by Andy · Leave a Comment
Electronic treadmills are more popular than their manual counterparts for several reasons-they are generally quieter, less bulky/heavy, offer more choices, and are easier to use. Display panels are easy to read and operate, providing you with several modes from which to choose, as well as recording accurate results of your progress in the areas of your heart rate, distance, speed, and the number of calories or fat burned. Electronic treadmills are usually more expensive, but well worth the money, and are more widely available than manual ones.
The concept of the treadmill itself is nothing new-it has been widely used in agricultural work in place of additional hands. In its most primitive form, the treadmill actually was powered by animals, such as goats, sheep, or horses, in doing manual work, such as butter churning or threshing as early as the 1870’s. But in 1952, a treadmill designed for human exercise was created. From then on, the pursuit of fitness technology increased, until finally electric treadmills were created, after aerobic exercise became more popular. The ones we see today have additional features built in, even music for you to listen to while exercising.
Some of the top affordable treadmills are the ProForm 930 I, Vision Fitness 9200, Sole F80, Smooth 5.15, Smooth HR 7.1, Diamondback 600T, Image 10.4QL, Keys Encore EC 6500, and the HealthTrainer 801. It is recommended though, that you research before buying, and test-drive the ones you like, to get a feel for what suits you best. Most importantly, find a model that is maintenance-free, to avoid costly repairs.
