Treadmill

Fitstore24 has the perfect treadmill for you

Run at home like in the forest? Climbing mountains within your own four walls? Build muscle or lose weight with a treadmill? It's all possible with the right equipment.

We'll tell you why the treadmill is the perfect training device and give you tips on what runners need to look out for when buying one.

What are the benefits?

Running is the most natural form of exercise for humans and is one of the most popular sports worldwide. The treadmill offers you numerous advantages:

• Independence: Exercise at any time, regardless of whether it's raining, cold or dark outside.

• Holistic training: When running, you not only train your legs, but also your upper body, shoulders and cardiovascular system.

• Burning calories and building muscle: This form of training effectively helps you burn calories and build muscle.

• Customisable: You have numerous setting options and can tailor the training 100% to your needs.

What do I need to consider when buying?

There are a few points to consider here. How much space do you have available? What are your training requirements? What are your personal preferences? We have the answers to all your questions.

Technical aspects

• The motor: AC motors are more durable and therefore the better choice. However, they are also more expensive. Cheaper devices for beginners often use direct current.

• The maximum weight is a hard limit and should always be taken into account. Larger devices can withstand more weight, but they are less mobile and need their own space.

• The running surface: Larger and faster runners take longer strides and therefore need a larger running surface. The width is also crucial to ensure that the running surface is not too narrow. This can lead to an unhealthy running style over time. More surface area is safer and more comfortable, but requires more space.

• Space: If you only have limited space, a folding treadmill such as the Nautilus T628 is suitable. This is lighter and can be easily stowed away on castors. You should also pay attention to the ceiling height and add your height to the highest incline of the device.

Personal preferences

• Motor power: The horsepower is more important than the type of motor. Two horsepower is necessary for most people. In the end, it depends on weight and ambition. Pay particular attention to the continuous power. This indicates the maximum speed for the entire unit.

• The cushioning: It absorbs the hard impact, which has two advantages. Firstly, the running feel is much more natural, like running on a forest path or dirt track. This protects the ankle joints. Secondly, the noise level is reduced.

• The programmes: With pre-installed training programmes, you can get started straight away and train differently every day. However, as with almost everything, it's not about quantity, but quality.

• The technology: Some treadmills can be connected to a smartphone, smartwatch and Wi-Fi. For example, you can view and compare different types of sport together from anywhere. Other treadmills allow you to measure your heart rate directly on the device. However, these factors are ultimately a question of cost.

• The screen: For some, a small screen with the most necessary information is enough and costs less. Others want a large touchscreen on which they can even watch films, but this is more expensive. The Vision Fitness T600E is an example of this. Decide for yourself what is important to you.
