How to choose a treadmill?

Many people seek to change their lifestyle to a healthier one. Some are active in sports to maintain their physical fitness at the right level. It should be noted that the benefits of running cannot be underestimated. It activates the respiratory system, promotes the development of leg and back muscles, creates good posture, burns excess fat, and maintains a good condition of the cardiovascular system. However, it is not always possible to access jogging tracks, and they are not always located where we live. What to do? There is a solution! In such cases, as well as for very busy people, there are specially designed simulators that can be used in every house or apartment.

Types and features of running tracks

One type of treadmill is mechanical. This construction only kicks in when a human hit it, so they're better suited for walking than jogging. This is because you will not be able to reach high speeds on this type of track. Such trainers are equipped with a computer that displays pulse data, distance traveled, number of calories burned, and duration of training. It should be noted that track selection should be individualized. Each device is calculated for a certain weight and if you use it without taking into account the limitations, it will fail very quickly.

Electric treadmills are also suitable for home use. In this case, the belt is rotated by an electric motor. This type of exercise equipment is characterized by great diversity with different parameters that are very important to know when choosing a product for sports:

Engine power

This indicator should be chosen depending on the weight of the user - the higher it is, the more powerful the motor should be. When choosing the device, an additional reserve of 30 kg can be left to reduce the maximum permissible load on the engine.

Treadmill width and length

For convenience, it is recommended to choose a wider and longer band. This allows reducing the probability of accidental miss on it. Note that the step increases by one and a half times as you run. If your height is about 170-180 cm, then choose a belt 120 cm long and 40 cm wide.

Amortization system

This feature reduces the load on the joints, so you should make sure that the treadmill you choose has a reliable cushioning system.

So, now you know how to choose a treadmill. If you have any questions, please contact the consultants of this store, who will help you choose the right sports goods.

Classic models of sports shoes are suitable for a walk, and there is no need to explain anything here, the main thing is that the footwear is comfortable, light, and beautiful. However, these sneakers will not be suitable for sports, as they will not withstand the load, which can damage the legs.

For cross-country running, choose a sole with good treads that will ensure a better grip on the ground. These sneakers should also be lightweight.

Basketball sneakers stand out from others, first of all, in their appearance - they are very massive and immediately attract attention. This model is high and thus protects the ankle from sprains. The sole is embossed for better adhesion to the surface. The heel of basketball shoes should be very massive to create good cushioning when jumping.

Football boots always have a narrow shape with a wide front. The sole of these sneakers may vary depending on the surface where they will be used. To play in the hall, the sole should be flat, without any protrusions. For playing on the ground, there will be a lot of convex feet, while for football on grass, the sole has several large bumps.

Fitness sneakers are more like slippers with laces. The sole of this model is thin, almost without relief. The heel of the sole is pushed back to distribute the weight correctly. These shoes are very light, soft, and should bend and stretch easily.

Sports shoes for water sports are low and very light, made of porous material. This model wicks away moisture and ventilates well. The sole is made of perforated rubber for better ventilation.
