Treadmills
How do I choose the right treadmill?
There are many factors to consider when choosing the perfect treadmill. How much space you have, your budget, functionality, motor power, and belt size and running surface are all important factors. Additionally, you should consider what you’re using it for- incline training, an underdesk treadmill, long distance running, etc. For a more detailed guide on how to choose a treadmill, check out our guide on what to look for in a treadmill.
Elliptical vs Treadmill vs Bike: Which Is Best for You?
You know you want a cardio machine for your home gym, but you’re not sure which is best for your fitness goals. There are so many options and pros and cons of each.
Treadmills offer a versatile workout and are great for endurance and calorie burning, but can be difficult on joints. Ellipticals are a low-impact option that engages both the upper and lower body. Bikes are great for building leg strength and endurance. Our guide Treadmill vs Exercise Bike vs Elliptical details how to choose.
