In recent years, foldable home treadmills have been rising online, and many fitness enthusiasts are very interested. Are foldable home treadmills really easy to use?
The foldable treadmill is popular because it can be put away when not in use, reducing floor space, which is very convenient for some small-sized families. But the actual situation is often different from what everyone imagined. Although the treadmill can be folded at any time when not in use, it is very troublesome in reality. No one wants to unfold the treadmill every time they run, and then fold it up again after running. Moreover, such a heavy treadmill is repeated repeatedly. There are also occasional failure risk factors, so most people place the treadmill unfolded, even if the home area is small, they will squeeze out space for the treadmill, which is a human characteristic.
Is the foldable home treadmill easy to use?
We have to consider this issue in two parts because this treadmill is divided into full folding and half folding.
Fully folded: You can fold all of them, and the price is often very cheap
Half-folding: The treadmill can only be folded halfway, with support rods for support
The treadmill I am talking about here refers to a fully foldable treadmill.
1. The continuous horsepower of the motor of the folding treadmill is small
The motor is the big heart of a treadmill. Whether the treadmill can run normally, as well as the stability and quietness of the operation are all determined by the motor. On the market for fully foldable treadmills, the continuous horsepower of most motors is less than 1.0chp. If you weigh more than 120 pounds and run on such a small motor machine, the motor will run very hard for a long time, so Affects its power output, sound, temperature, and other aspects.
2. The size of the home folding treadmill running belt is small
Compared with the treadmills in the gym, the size of the running belt of the fully foldable treadmill is smaller in both the length and width of the running belt. If you are tall and have wide shoulders, you have to weigh them carefully. If the width of the running belt is too narrow and the length is too short, you should consider whether you can let it go for running on a fully foldable machine.
3. The shock absorption of the folding treadmill is weak
The shock absorption of a treadmill is determined by the following aspects: system structure, the running board running belt, machine net weight, and running belt size. However, the structure system of the fully foldable treadmill is often very simple, the shock absorption elasticity is weak, the weight impact that the running board can withstand is limited, the machine is very light and the running belt size is small, which makes the shock absorption effect compared with that of the gym treadmill. There is no comparison, so it will also be weak in terms of silence. If you do not control the speed, running wildly on the top may affect the downstairs.
4. The folding treadmill does not have an automatic incline
Fully foldable treadmills are all fixed inclines, and cannot be as convenient as other treadmills with automatic inclines, that is, adjusting the incline while running. So if you are fat and pay attention to the protection of knees and ankles, or you want multi-functional equipment for treadmills, I do not recommend choosing a fully foldable treadmill.
The foldable treadmill is right for home use
In fact, if you go to the gym, you will find that the treadmills in the gym are spread out and fixed. Because the treadmills are used in large amounts, they have high requirements on the net weight and size of the treadmills. Folding them will be very inconvenient and affect their stability.
But the home treadmill is simpler, and the frequency of daily training is relatively small. Considering the handling and space at home, such a design is also possible.
Generally speaking, the current home treadmill brands are basically foldable treadmills. This design is still very convenient. You don’t have to be too entangled. The key is to look at the treadmill’s horsepower, the treadmill belt’s size, and the after-sales service of the treadmill brand. , training frequency, function, etc.
