Continuous duty means thatrepparttar treadmill will run at its listed h.p. rating with a significant workload over extended periods of time--an important consideration.Be wary of manufacturers who list "peak-performance" h.p. ratings. It sounds impressive, but all peak performance indicates is a motor's maximum power, not its sustained output.

What'srepparttar 115120 best belt size?

To handlerepparttar 115121 long stride and natural side-to-side movement of runners, treadmill belts are expanding in width and length. Twenty-inch-wide belts are becoming common, and no belt should be narrower than 17 or 18 inches. The length ofrepparttar 115122 running area should be at least 50 inches, with 55 to 60 inches preferable for taller runners.

How important isrepparttar 115123 construction ofrepparttar 115124 deck?

Often overlooked by consumers (perhaps because it's hidden beneathrepparttar 115125 belt) isrepparttar 115126 treadmill's deck, or bed. Better-quality decks are usually made of thin layers of laminated wood, coated with lubricants to minimize friction betweenrepparttar 115127 belt and deck, which in turn reduces strain onrepparttar 115128 motor. The smootherrepparttar 115129 deck coating,repparttar 115130 less friction betweenrepparttar 115131 belt and deck.

Deck construction, more thanrepparttar 115132 belt, influences how smooth or hard your treadmill feels to run on and how well it absorbs shock. You want a surface that gives a bit but doesn't bounce.

Better decks are reversible, meaning they can be turned over--thereby (in theory, at least) doublingrepparttar 115133 life ofrepparttar 115134 deck. Some decks require owner maintenance without which they may succumb in a year. Proper care, however, can extend a deck's life forrepparttar 115135 lifetime ofrepparttar 115136 treadmill.

AC or DC?

Direct-current-driven (DC) motors power most home treadmills. DC motors start slowly, provide a more consistent response to speed, incline and weight demands, and tend to run quieter than alternating-current (AC) motors. With DC, you're dealing with fewer internal parts, which may cut down on repairs.

AC motors, which tend to be found in club treadmills, startrepparttar 115137 belt at a faster speed. But you should be safe plugging either an AC or a DC motor into your wall outlet at home.

Pricing

A good home treadmill can cost up to $5,000 and will likely berepparttar 115138 most expensive piece of exercise equipment you'll ever buy. Why so much money to run in place? To answer this, we contacted Cybex International, manufacturer ofrepparttar 115139 high-end Trotter line.
