Could a treadmill help me when trying to lose weight?

By Manuelle Fergus

Nowadays, resisting the temptation of eating unhealthy and full of calories food gets harder and harder, as it's very tasteful and it's everywhere; therefore an exercising routine is more and more necessary for our health and for our body. Certainly, all of you would like to stay in shape, but unfortunately, as we are living in the speed era, our time doesn't allow us to go to a gym and follow a fitness program. As there are so many people with the same problem, the solution has come pretty fast: the treadmill has been invented(fitness equipment which allows you to follow the desirable exercising routine in the comfort and the privacy of your own home, any time you want, without depending on other program than yours).

Treadmills have the necessary features for a weight loss program, therefore they're considered to be the best solution for people who want to lose weight. Most of them have very powerful motors that can reach speeds up to even 12 miles per hour, allowing you to work as intensively as you need, depending on your fitness goal. Also, they have LCD displays which give you important information about your workout, like: the distance you have traveled, time, speed and even the number of fat calories you have burned; some even have a heart rate monitor which indicates your pulse, letting you know if you are in the right effort zone, a zone which allows you to achieve your fitness goal.

Many brands are present on the treadmills market today, some of the most popular of them being Reebok, Nordictrack, Proform or Horizon. These are just a few examples, but the list can go on; many of them have the features mentioned above and will surely help you in your fitness efforts. Almost all of them adopted the famous ProShox Cushioning System - which is vital, because it reduces the impact running has on your joins by approximately 30%(compared to road running).

But probably the most important feature of a treadmill is the warranty, since it's the best sign of a product's quality. Although the other features are beneficial to your workout, in the end the warranty guarantees you for how long you're going to enjoy the others.

As a conclusion, a treadmill has all the features you need to lose weight, providing you a comfortable and pleasant workout at the same time. - 16887
