Treadmills
A good range of treadmills is one of the staple items of any health club or gym. Because they allow you to run or walk, day or night, no matter what the weather, they are a popular choice for many club members.
Why are they so popular? Treadmills provide an excellent cardiovascular workout, while also helping to tone and strengthen your leg muscles. For those who prefer not to run or walk outdoors, they allow you to exercise on your own terms - with no worries about sunburn or heat stroke, rain or snow, bad drivers or mad dogs.
Treadmills are also good for those who find running or walking outdoors hard on their ankles or knees, as the running bed provides a more forgiving surface. And to make the time pass more quickly, many gyms have them set up so that you can watch TV while you exercise.
This is also a machine that lets you customise your workouts to fit your needs. You should be able to control not only your speed - anything from a slow walk to a full speed run - but also the elevation, so you can choose to keep your workout easy by walking or running on the flat, or make it more challenging by increasing the angle.
Some of the other benefits of these machines include:
- Heart rate monitors which allow you to track your workout more accurately.
- Customized programs, so you can choose between a simple one paced workout, intervals, or even a hill workout.
