Treadmill Guide
Benefits | Buying New | Buying Secondhand
A treadmill is one of the most popular exercise equipment in use. This is probably due to the ease of use - as anyone who can walk or run can use a treadmill.
The benefits of using a treadmill for your exercise training are the same as for running, plus there are several additional benefits such as the ease and convenience of this mode of exercise (see more treadmill benefits). To buy your own treadmill can be a big expense, so it is important to consider all the factors.
