treadmill keys.

health regimen for you to embark upon. It probably is, or

you wouldn’t be reading this! Next, check the motor and see

of it is powerful enough for your needs as relates to

weight. Most brands offer several options in this area.

Health monitoring features such as heart rate monitors are

an added benefit to keep track of your progress. The ability

to store the treadmill economically is a plus also, and

sturdy hand rails and easy on/off benefits add to your

experience.

Other features that you may want to consider include safety

features, shock absorption, variable speeds, calorie

counters (to tell you just how hard you’ve been working!)

time/distance calculators, and of course a reasonable

guarantee/warranty. The motor should be have a warranty of

at least 2 years, and the more the better. Some are as long

as ten years. Shop around.
