How to choose a home treadmill?

1. Choose the right home treadmill
Treadmills can be divided into home treadmills, commercial treadmills and light commercial treadmills. Generally speaking, there are many differences between home treadmills and other types of treadmills (such as commercial treadmills) in terms of function or purpose. In place of purchase, try to choose the one that is suitable for general household use.

2. Choose the right function
The output power of a domestic treadmill is generally between 1.5-2.0. Choose to use this range as a reference as much as possible. Don't choose too much functionality. Just have a wider running belt, better sound and electric slope control, and it is firm. To be durable, choose a table with a thicker material, double-layer, and the length of the table is generally more than 1.2 meters.

Basically all electric treadmills on the market have functions such as measuring heart rate, displaying speed, mileage, kilometers, and calories consumed. Multifunctional treadmill refers to the addition of massage, waist twisting and other functions to the single running function. This type of model allows you to warm up and relax before and after running, and is more suitable for office workers and the elderly.

3. Pay attention to the continuous output power
Generally, one horsepower of a treadmill can provide a load of 50-60kg. For treadmills used in general households, if the runner's weight is below 100kg, if it is not used for long-term uninterrupted commercial running, the continuous output power should be between 1.5 and 2.2 (Hp), which can meet the needs. If you are heavier, you need to choose a treadmill with higher power, generally you can choose a treadmill of 2.75Hp or larger.

4. Pay attention to the safety of home treadmills
This can also be said to be a very important point, because mechanical treadmills are now almost eliminated, and electric treadmills are more commonly used. Choosing an electric treadmill must have an emergency stop device, which can emergency stop the machine when you feel unwell during exercise, so as to protect the user.

In addition, insulation protection cannot be ignored. Since the human body is in direct contact with the treadmill, the machine must have good insulation properties to protect the athlete from the risk of electric shock.

5. After-sales service is critical
Generally, the purchase place of treadmills can be roughly divided into three categories: shopping malls, specialty stores and online sales. Regardless of the sales model, consumers should pay attention to the after-sales service. If the after-sales service is not in place, once the treadmill fails, it will become a pile of scrap iron, so the after-sales service of the equipment is also very important.

6. It should be used correctly and maintained regularly
Make sure to wear suitable sports shoes when exercising, do not wear shoes with metal soles, so as not to cause cuts to the running belt; the soles should be clean, avoid carrying foreign objects under the running belt to wear the running board and running belt.

The maintenance of the treadmill can extend the service life. When buying a treadmill, there is a bottle of lubricating silicone oil. The friction between the running belt and the running board has a great influence on the service life and performance of the electric treadmill. Therefore, lubricating silicone oil must be applied regularly.
