Best treadmill for running at home
Basic Info
Because there are many different types and brands of home treadmills, you need to choose a treadmill that suits you according to your personal needs and budget.
If you want to do high-intensity training, you need to buy a treadmill with better performance and can withstand higher intensity; if it is just for fitness, then the general model can meet your needs.
In addition, you need to choose a model of suitable size according to the family space, and pay attention to safety and noise issues during use.
In addition, you can choose some well-known brands of treadmills, which have professional after-sales service and quality assurance, but the price will be relatively high.
If the budget is limited, you can also choose some more cost-effective brands to meet basic fitness needs.
Running outdoors is easily limited by factors such as weather and time. The price in the gym is expensive and there are many uncertain factors. If you have a Treadmill at home, you can use your spare time to exercise at home, which not only makes good use of your time but also serves the purpose of exercising your body.

How to choose a household treadmill?
1. Horsepower
The motor is the core component of a treadmill, determining its maximum speed and load-bearing capacity. Horsepower has two parameters, sustained horsepower and peak horsepower.Continuous horsepower: The amount of power continuously output by a treadmill motor, referring to a constant speed.
Peak horsepower: The maximum power output of a treadmill motor. Similar to a hundred meter sprint, but this speed is not sustainable.
When choosing, the main focus is on continuous horsepower. The continuous horsepower is between 1.0-2.0HP, which can meet the needs of consumers weighing less than 200 pounds. If you are a professional athlete or a consumer of high-intensity exercise, you can choose a treadmill with higher horsepower.
2. Shock absorption
Running can cause damage to the knees to some extent, and a treadmill with good shock absorption can provide protection for the runner's knees from stress.At present, the shock absorption systems of treadmills mainly include spring shock absorption, silicone shock absorption, airbag shock absorption, and composite shock absorption.
Composite shock absorption is a combination of different shock absorption technologies, with good shock absorption effect and relatively expensive price. It is mainly used on high-end treadmills.
Airbag shock absorption is the application of technology from running shoes to a treadmill, achieving shock absorption by adding multiple airbags. Good shock absorption effect, low sound, and more comfortable foot feel. The foreign brand Reebok has better airbag shock absorption.

3. Running belt length and width
The larger the area of the running belt, the better the comfort and stability.The length of the running belt should not be less than 130 cm and the width should not be less than 45 cm.
If you are tall, it is recommended to choose a longer and wider running belt.
4. Slope adjustment function
Some treadmills have a slope adjustment function, which can increase exercise intensity and be more conducive to burning fat by adjusting the slope.A treadmill without slope adjustment function is like running on flat ground and is very suitable for beginners to use.
5. Other functions
Foldable: The treadmill occupies a large area, and a foldable treadmill can better utilize space.Heart rate monitoring: Some treadmills have heart rate monitoring function, which can better help consumers understand their own exercise situation.
High intensity interval training: High intensity interval training is a method that allows you to achieve efficient training results in a short period of time. By alternating between fast sprints and recovery runs on the treadmill, you can improve cardiovascular function, enhance endurance, and burn more fat. Different sprint and recovery times can be set according to individual circumstances to make training more challenging and varied.
Slope training: Indoor treadmills usually have the function of adjusting the slope, which provides you with the opportunity to simulate outdoor running. By adjusting the slope, you can simulate the terrain of climbing, downhill, or different road sections, increasing the difficulty and variation of running. Training with different slopes can enhance leg muscle strength, improve climbing ability, and improve gait.
Running courses and virtual landscapes: Many indoor treadmills are equipped with running courses and virtual landscape functions, providing you with a richer running experience. You can choose different courses, and the running machine automatically adjusts the speed and slope, making you feel like you are in a real running environment. The virtual landscape function allows you to enjoy beautiful scenery while running, adding fun and motivation.
Music and Entertainment: Playing your favorite music, listening to podcasts, watching movies or TV shows on an indoor treadmill can bring more fun and entertainment to your running. By equipping headphones or speakers, you can enjoy the rhythm of music while running, making the running process more enjoyable and fun.

Here are some suggestions on how to perform diverse training on a treadmill:
Aerobic endurance training: This is the most common treadmill training method that improves cardiovascular function and endurance by maintaining moderate speed and duration. You can choose a certain speed and time, such as a 30 minute moderate intensity run each time, or engage in intermittent running, alternating between fast and slow runs to increase the challenge.Sprint training: Sprint training is a high-intensity training method that can effectively improve speed and explosiveness. On the treadmill, you can choose a higher speed, engage in short-term high-intensity sprints, and then recover to a slower speed for interval training. For example, try a 30 second full sprint and then recover at a slower speed or walk, repeating multiple times.
Slope training: Adjusting the slope of the treadmill can simulate the climbing effect of outdoor running, increasing training intensity and challenges. You can choose a moderate slope to increase the strength and endurance of the lower limb muscles. At the beginning, you can choose a lower slope and gradually increase the challenge. You can also try sprinting on slopes to increase the intensity.
Alternating between high and low speeds: Trying to alternate between fast and slow running on a treadmill can increase the variability and fun of training. For example, choose a faster speed to run for 1 minute, then slow down for a recovery run of 1 minute, repeating multiple times. This alternating training can increase heart rate, burn calories, and enhance endurance.
Music and video entertainment: While exercising on a treadmill, listening to music or watching videos can distract attention and make running more enjoyable. Creating an inspiring exercise playlist, or watching your favorite TV shows, movies, or training videos, can help you better enjoy indoor running.
Virtual Running and Applications: Many treadmills and applications provide a virtual running experience, making indoor running more interesting and challenging by simulating various scenes and routes. You can choose to run at scenic spots around the world, or challenge yourself to achieve good results in virtual competitions.
Training plan and goal setting: In order to make indoor running more dynamic, you can develop a training plan and set goals. Set the number and time of weekly runs, gradually increase the distance or speed of running, and complete specific challenges, such as participating in a marathon race.
Combining with other training methods: During the training process on the Treadmill, other training methods can be combined, such as weight training, barehanded exercise, or core training. This can provide comprehensive exercise for the entire body and increase the diversity and effectiveness of training.
In summary, indoor treadmills provide a variety of training methods, making your daily running no longer boring. Through high-intensity interval training, slope training, running courses, and virtual landscape features, as well as the addition of music and entertainment, you can fully tap into the potential of indoor Treadmills and enjoy the fun and variety of running.
