The choice of a home treadmill
Foreword
I belonged to the standard otaku attribute since I was a child. With the advantage of being young, it doesn’t seem to have any effect if I don’t exercise, and my weight has always remained in a slightly thin range.
However, since I turned 30 last year, I feel that my body is in a sub-healthy state, and I occasionally experience slight discomfort. The most obvious change is that I have gained weight, and my weight has soared by 10 kg in half a year. And usually engaged in the original creation, often busy until midnight. After this state continued for some time, I gradually realized that I might die suddenly one day.
After realizing the seriousness of the problem, the next step is to analyze the problem and propose a solution. The first is to achieve a scientific and reasonable low-sugar diet (diet control is so easy for me), and the next step is to stay up late as little as possible, improve work efficiency, and strive to go to bed before noon.
But these alone are not enough. Proper exercise every day must also be put on the agenda. Because I never exercise, my body’s endurance is very poor, so my main appeal is not to lose weight (currently 172cm, 65 kg is only a little fat. ) but to improve physical fitness.
Due to time constraints, in addition to working every day, I have to bring children + original creations at night. The time is full, and sports can only be realized in scattered times.
I have tried the Switch fitness ring, and the effect is not very good. After the fitness card is completed, there is no time to go on weekdays. A home treadmill is a very good choice at this time. It happens to be placed on the balcony of the home, and the wife can also use it together.
Choice of home treadmill
Running is one of the sports with the lowest threshold. Put on professional running shoes and turn left when you go out, and you can start running in the community. Although outdoor running is simple and convenient, it is also subject to many restrictions, such as weather and air quality.
Moreover, outdoor running has relatively higher wear and tear on the knees, and treadmills generally have a shock absorption function, which has a certain protective effect on the knees and ankles.
If there is a treadmill at home, the convenience will be much higher. First of all, it will not be affected by the environment, such as weather and air quality; the use time is more flexible; it can simulate road conditions such as climbing and provide different exercise intensities; the exercise temperature is more comfortable; You can watch dramas while exercising; in the end, you don’t have to worry about running safely outdoors.
Generally speaking, in addition to the overhead and space occupied by home treadmills, there are still many advantages. So the question is, what should we pay attention to when buying a home treadmill?
1. Damping system
The biggest worry about using a home treadmill is complaints from downstairs neighbors. A good shock absorption system can effectively reduce noise, and it doesn’t even affect the downstairs at all. In addition, good shock absorption can also reduce the damage to the knees caused by running.
At present, the mainstream shock absorbers include silicone shock absorbers, air shock absorbers, cantilever shock absorbers, and spring shock absorbers. Better-quality treadmills use soft rubber and silicone materials, and the effect will be even better if combined with air shock absorption.
2. Motor & power
The motor is the core component of the entire treadmill. The output power of the motor is the basic indicator to measure the quality. However, many manufacturers like to change the concept secretly and use peak parameters instead of continuous power, so you must pay attention to the difference in terms when purchasing. Generally, the continuous output power (HP) of a household treadmill should preferably reach 1.5HP. If it is less than this value, the weight will not be able to carry it, but there is no need to pursue too high because it is wasteful.
3. Running belt specification
The width and length of the running belt greatly affect the running experience. To save costs, some treadmills will reduce the materials used in this part, and it will feel cramped when running.
Generally speaking, those with a width of less than 45cm are not recommended, and it will cause discomfort when running. Moreover, this width does not include the anti-skid platforms on both sides, which is the width of a separate running belt.
Another indicator is the length of the running belt, which is related to the height. The higher the height, the longer the length of the running belt is required. Generally speaking, 120cm is the lowest off-line, and anything below this length can be passed.
4. Folding function
Most users who buy home treadmills, as long as they insist on using them, will not use the folding storage function. Because the weight of the treadmill is relatively high, even if it can be folded, it will be very laborious every time.
but! But! but! Although it is hardly used, it must not be left out because it still needs to be folded when it is temporarily transported or stored for a long time. The fully foldable treadmill can save more space when stored for a long time and is a must-have for home use!
5. Slope adjustment
Different slope adjustments can achieve different exercise purposes and improve exercise efficiency. A small slope within 6° can increase the consumption per unit of time and protect the knee more. Rapid fat burning, the slope of 7~12° can increase running resistance, increase fat burning efficiency, and achieve rapid fat burning.
