Treadmills

Q: Do treadmills reduce belly fat?

Using a treadmill has many health benefits, including building heart and lung strength and aiding with weight loss. Using a treadmill will not specifically target belly fat, but performing regular aerobic exercise, in conjunction with a healthy diet, will help burn away overall body fat.

Q: What is running speed on a treadmill?

In Australia, treadmill speeds are measured in kilometres per hour. On most treadmills, 3.2 - 6.4 kph is considered walking speed, 6.4 - 8 kph is considered jogging, and over 9.6 kph is considered running.

Q: What does a curved treadmill do?

Running on a curved treadmill activates the muscles in the legs for longer. This targets the posterior chain of muscles such as the hamstrings, glutes, and calves, making them work harder and improving your athletic ability. Runners work up to 30% harder on a curved, non-motorised treadmill.

Treadmills have been one of the most popular workout machines on the market for years. Using a treadmill allows you to stay fit irrespective of the weather and can give the user a gentle walk or a gruelling marathon run.

Types of treadmills

There are a number of different types of treadmills that are available in Australia, each with its own unique traits and characteristics.

Curved treadmills

Curved treadmills are one of the newest entries into the market and are quite ingenious in their design as non-electrical, self-powered devices. Many find the curved shape of the walking surface more natural too.

Folding treadmills

Folding treadmills are a great solution for the home gym, especially one that’s low on space. They can conveniently be folded and unfolded every day taking up less space when not in use.

Motorised treadmills

Motorised treadmills are very popular in Australia and allow you to take control of the treadmill at the touch of a button. Speed and inclination can often be adjusted allowing you to chop and change the intensity of your workout as you see fit.

Non-motorised treadmills

This treadmill works without a motor. The variable resistance will improve agility, endurance, speed and power. With many levels of magnetic resistance, this treadmill will increase your metabolic rate and build muscle.

The advantages of high-quality treadmills

There are many benefits to choosing a high-quality treadmill in Australia, something that should always be prioritised before making that final purchase. First comes down to the machine’s robustness thanks to the superior grade materials, components and parts used. This is especially important for treadmills as they go through a lot of wear and tear and an inferior choice will be more likely to break down. Also, high-quality treadmills tend to be better designed for use, meaning you’ll get the optimal exercising experience and benefit from them. They are also more aesthetically pleasing, made to enhance the appearance of your home gym in a stylish and sophisticated way.

How to choose a treadmill that’s right for you

There are a number of things to consider before buying a treadmill in Australia. As already discussed, quality should be prioritised due to all the reasons mentioned above. This actually narrows down the option quite a bit but there are still decisions to be made. The size of the treadmill is an important thing to consider, not just with respect to the actual space you have for it but in terms of your own personal stride length. Taller individuals need to be sure the treadmill they’re looking at is long enough for comfortable use. The features a treadmill has, like an HD touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity, incline settings, heart rate monitors etc are also a good way to differentiate products from one another. Aesthetics are also important, given how prominent a feature they’ll be. Some like to pick choices that complement existing exercise equipment they have, like rowers, exercise bikes, ellipticals, or steppers to ensure a consistent look.

How long do treadmills last?

The average life of a treadmill in Australia is about 7 - 12 years, with 10 years being the expected life. Buying a high-quality treadmill and caring for it by following the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance program will extend its life considerably.
