Tips For Buying Folding Treadmills

Folding treadmills are an excellent addition to your home gym space. Folding treadmills offer both walking and running workouts however, they take up less space than non-folding ones.

Consider your fitness goals and lifestyle when deciding on a treadmill that folds. Some treadmills come with helpful features such as the ability to track metric data, user profiles and guided workouts while others are more basic.

Deck Size

Some treadmills can be folded in half to save space when they're not in use. This is a great option for those whose home or apartment has a small amount of floor space. A high-quality folding treadmill will also come with an extremely durable and comfortable deck to run on. Many manufacturers offer different deck sizes to meet the needs of different workouts. For example the deck that is a little bit longer will be better if you are jogging on it frequently because it can help you keep a steady running pace.

Some folding treadmills are designed to have decks that are made of a specific material that reduces the impact on joints. This is important since running puts a lot of pressure on your feet, legs as well as your back and hips. A few studies suggest that running on a hard surface can cause knee problems.

If you are looking for a treadmill designed for regular jogging, you should choose one with a deck at least 50cm (20 inches) wide and 1.5 meters (5.8feet) long. A deck that is wider can support your weight better and will allow you to stretch your legs while you run.
