Treadmills are a popular choice for health-conscious individuals all around the globe. If you don’t have one, here are the top reasons to get one.
Time-saver
It can be difficult to exercise regularly due to our busy lives, hectic schedules, and long work hours. Although it can be difficult to find the motivation to go to the gym, a short session at home for 20-30 minutes per day can help you stay in shape. The treadmill is a lifesaver. It is easy to use, and you can exercise whenever you like.
Variety exercise
The treadmill is still in fashion, even with the introduction of more advanced exercise machines. You can exercise, run, or jog from your home, no matter what level you are at. You don’t have to run in the rain, brave the storm or navigate traffic. Just turn on the machine with your favorite music and you can go for a run from the comfort of your own home.
Treadmills can be a great alternative to exercise. In an article on Harvard Health Publishing, Dr Adam Tedford, Assistant Prof, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School, explains that treadmills are more than just “push the button and walk”! He adds that you can adjust the speed and incline to help you focus on certain goals.
Health First
The treadmill is a great cardio tool to keep your body in shape. It targets key areas like quadriceps and glutes and helps improve balance and stamina. Treadmills are safer than other options because you don’t have to run on uneven or hard surfaces, which can cause injury to your ankle and knee. Dr Tedford says that treadmills can also be useful for those recovering from injuries or surgeries, as they can be controlled to adjust the speed and intensity and have handrails to provide additional support when necessary.
