Should You Buy a Cheap Treadmill?

[CustomPatches0321]

Exercising on a treadmill is a great way to lose weight and tone up your body. Buying a cheap treadmill means you can do this at home!

Treadmills at home will really encourage you to lose weight and tone up. They let you exercise in the comfort of your own home and you can decide how much or how little effort you want to put in. You can also decide how much time you want to do as well. You will no longer feel intimidated by other hard core exercise enthusiasts. You can exercise in front of the TV or while reading a book and you don't even have to leave the house. Treadmills in general are a great idea and they make it much easier to fit a jog or walk into your daily routine, but are cheap treadmills as good as the real thing?ลู่วิ่ง

What's Wrong With a Cheap Treadmill?

Nothing is wrong with cheap treadmills in general, it is when you look more in depth into each individual treadmill that you start to see the differences. The reason treadmills have become so cheap is because they have made them much more basic. You will never find a cheap treadmill in a gym so just take a minute to wonder why.

The more basic treadmill will not have a calorie counter, speed monitor or even a display on some models! The quality of the belts on cheap treadmills may not be as good as they make out so by the time you have bought three or four belts you would have paid for a new treadmill. Because the bands aren't really up to scratch they tend to put a maximum weight on them. This maximum weight is usually something ridiculous like 140 lbs.

Some cheap treadmills also recommend that you only use them occasionally so you wouldn't even be able to use them every day. Of course there is always an exception so if you are looking for a treadmill make sure that you look out for the above factors.

Of course there is an alternative to buying a cheap treadmill (and its not joining a gym). You can buy a second hand treadmill. You will get a better model and better value too. There are lots of people who are selling treadmills for cheap so why not have a look in the local paper or on line to see if you can find one locally
