If you are looking for a treadmill that
you can use at home, don’t just look at the price of the product. There are
many other factors to consider. Here are things that you should look into when
choosing a treadmill in Singapore:
Motor
horsepower
Is a higher rated horsepower better? Technically,
yes. ‘Horsepower’ is a unit of measurement that is used to quantify the rate at
which work is performed. You can also measure power in terms of watts or joules
per second. A higher horsepower gives greater control to the treadmill. This is
especially true for products that have advanced numerous features such as the
ability to adjust the angle of inclination or increase the speed of the
conveyor belts.
If you plan on using the treadmill
regularly, you should choose a treadmill with 2.5 to 4 horsepower. A higher
horsepower is also more versatile to accommodate heavier users and faster
runners.
Belt
People have different stride lengths.
The treadmill must provide a comfortable running zone for you. The average belt
running area 120 to 150 cm in length and 40 to 50 cm in width. You must also
check the quality of the belt. Is it made from commercial grade materials?
Higher priced treadmills use 2- to 3-ply belts for maximum and efficient
output.
Inclination
To add more resistance to your running,
you can get treadmills with inclination features. An automated angle control
can help you easily adjust your preferred running inclination. The higher the
angle, the higher the intensity.
Shock
absorption technology
The treadmill will have to sustain
constant pounding throughout its lifetime. Choose a unit that has shock
absorption technology to resist the load and keep everything moving like they
should. Some treadmills use a suspension mechanism to reduce the stress. Advanced
models can also soften your landing and minimize impact.
