How to buy the best treadmill for home use in India?

First, you have to decide on a few factors on your end.

• Budget – How much you are ready to spend on any treadmill.
• Usage – What is your workout goal. How many people will use it. Whether you are more inclined to walking or running. As running requires a longer belt than walking.
• Space – How much space do you have. For small spaces, you can always go for a folding one.
• Extra Features – What are the extra specifications that you are looking for. Like heart rate and calorie burned monitor or speakers etc.

Then look into these specific factors that you should always consider while buying a treadmill.

Manual or Motorized Treadmill – First you need to decide whether you want a manual one or an automatic one. A manual treadmill does not have any motor and is much cheaper than any motorized treadmill. If your budget is low then go for a manual one.

Motor – Motors are measured in two terms – horsepower (HP) and continuous horsepower (CHP). CHP is better as it gives detail of how much power a motor can put out continuously instead of while it is at its peak. It is advisable to choose a treadmill between 2.5 to 4.25 CHP.

It will also depend on the type of usage – for walking 2.0 CHP or higher, for jogging 2.5 CHP or higher, and for running 3.0 CHP or higher.

Also depending on your weight, the power of the motor may need to be increased. If your weight is above 90 kgs then you should add another 0.5 CHP to each of the above motor specifications.

Track Size – It will depend on whether you want to use it for walking or running. The standard track length requirement for walking is 55 inches and for running is 58 to 60 inches. The industry-standard track width is 20 inches.

Track Belt Durability – In terms of thickness, the belt should have a two-ply or four-ply, as they are more durable than a single-ply. The metal roller should be ideally 2.5’ in diameter.

Lubrication is another important aspect of the track belt. Treadmill belts are usually infused with silicone or other lubricants for smooth performance.

Track Speed – In general 10 mph is adequate for running at home.

Track Cushioning – the running bed should be able to absorb shock and the belt should not remove while the foot strikes to prevent injury.

Incline or Decline – An incline helps to burn more calories and reduces stress on joints. Most treadmills have a 10, 15, or 20 percent of incline. Some brands also include the decline feature.

Weight Capacity – On average a treadmill can support 100 to 200kg. Your treadmill should have a bearing capacity of at least 20kg more than your weight so that there is no extra pressure on the motor.

Space Coverage and Portability – Most treadmills are folding in nature so they do not cover much floor space. Many treadmills also have transport wheels so you can move them anywhere you want.

Safety features – Auto stop is the most important safety feature that you should always consider in a treadmill. It is usually controlled with a key.

You attach the key to the machine when you are using it and remove it once you are done so that there is no accidental activation of the treadmill which will lead to injury.

Conclusion

The above list includes some of the best available treadmills from different price levels.

All the treadmills are within a price range of Rs. 10000 to Rs. 35000.

You can easily get any of them, manual or automatic. Choose one which suits your criteria as well as your budget and start exercising.

Exercising is very important for your health. Even if you work out for half an hour daily, you can relish its result throughout your life.
