Landice Treadmill
Best Treadmill?
I have one more question re. the purchase of a treadmill since through the help of those on Yahoo! Answers I have decided to go with a treadmill and not a Treadclimber. There are so many brands and quite a range of prices. Obviously I want the best price but I also want a great treadmill… Are folding treadmills as good as non-folding? What should the HP be? How many miles per hour is good? I like the sounds of a built in fan, not sure if I need a TV, but are these as good? Here are some names I’ve come across: Proform, Horizon, Bowflex, and Landice. Please, treadmill owners or anyone with knowledge, give me a little more advice! Thank you!
I am a ProForm fan. We have had ours for quite a few years and what I like about it is that not only is there a good warranty but the warranty also covers the motor, which many don’t. Most of the ProForm ones have a 20 year warranty on the motor.
If you have the room, it is best to get a treadmill that doesn’t fold up, not there there is a quality difference but there will be times when you will fold it up and then find numerous excuses why you aren’t able to use it. If it’s right out there, you will be tempted to use it more often.
Make sure that the treadmill has a 1.5HP or higher. If you are planning on using it lightly in the beginning but do want to ramp up without having to purchase another one in a year get a 2.0HP or higher.
You also want to look at the stride. You may start out walking and then want to beginning running and you’ll need a longer stride so look for one that is around 60″. The 60″ work well for almost any height up to 6′3″.
You will also want a treadmill that can change it’s incline easily so that you can make your workouts different all the time, and it won’t take you 5 minutes each time you can to change your incline.
I asked Santa for the treadmill listed below as it’s my dream treadmill and I’m hoping that he comes through for me.
When you look at treadmills remember to think about your needs right now and also where you may be physically a few years down the road as you don’t want to keep on having to purchase a new one every 2-3 years as they can be quite expensive.
