Generally it is said that the first treadmillThe world was drawn by Mr. Zuntz and Mr. Lehmann in 1889 in Berlin.
If the training sessions fail due to the weather, a treadmill is a good alternative. Treadmills are available in different versions. This allows the training device to be individually tailored. Above all foldable treadmills are very popular because they are very space-saving. In use, these can be easily and quickly set up. The foldable treadmills fit very well in small storage spaces and thus are not noticeable in the living room.

There are generally two different types of treadmills. On the one hand there is the mechanical treadmill and on the other hand the electric treadmill. The mechanical treadmill needs to be powered by your own muscles. The running speed depends on the power of the muscle drive. Inclinations of the device are not possible with a mechanical device. Tilts on the treadmill should represent a terrain uphill or downhill. The electric treadmill is powered by a motor. The speed can be set and adjusted directly on the device by pressing a button. Tilts are also possible with these treadmills.

Aspects for the purchase decision

One aspect of the purchase decision is the cost factor. The more functions that are possible, the higher the price will normally be. Electric treadmillsCost even after the purchase still money. This means above all the additional electricity costs. The electric treadmills are also much more expensive than mechanical treadmills. The reason is that the electric treadmills also have more settings and functions. Mechanical treadmillsare rather simple and concentrate purely on the conditioning structure and muscle building by their own drive. A treadmill should allow for smooth, even movements. In any case, the most important thing is that exercising on the treadmill brings fun and motivation.
Other aspects of the purchase decision include the size of the treads, type of drive, volume of the device and the available, free space. The treads should be well dampened to protect the joints. Treadmills from the brands „Kettler“ and „MAXXUS“ have built up a good reputation in recent years and are among the highest quality treadmills.

Functions of a treadmill

Folding treadmills do not require any functions. Even with these treadmills, such functions can be integrated. Some of the most important functions are: tempo, intensity (amount of force input), different inclination angles, setting of intervals or an integrated pulse control. Often, the treadmills are also equipped with a headphone jack and a built-in mp3 player.
The treadmill „MAXOfit Deluxe treadmill Greenline MF 7“ is a folding treadmill with a quiet electric motor and a digital display. It has several functions and an easy handling. The digital display shows the speed, calorie consumption, heart rate and exercise time. The speed can be set between 0.8 and 12 km / h. The training intensity can also be adapted to the training.

Advantages of such a treadmill

– Easy to use
– All necessary functions to complete an effective training.
– Informative digital display
– Device is very quiet in operation.
– Foldable and therefore very space-saving

Disadvantages of such a treadmill:

– The maximum speed setting might not be enough. Advanced runners could be higher

Need speeds.

The future

The limits for the technologies and the improvements of the treadmills are open. From time to time, new features and features are being developed that make using the treadmill even more interesting. In general, sport is healthy in every respect and is very good for the well-being of people. This should not be waived despite bad weather or other obstacles.
