A better way to workout in your target heart rate zone is through use of heart rate/pulse handgrips. It is more comfortable to use and is already included in most treadmills, no need to pay extra.

Folding Feature

Although I do admit it does save space at home, but after a long grueling workout, some people may no longer want to fold and move treadmill, only to unfold and move it back again next day. So just save your money and buy a non-folding treadmill.

Running Belt

Treadmill companies would try to impress you with large running spaces and overly thick belts. Truth is... larger belt, harder motor has to work to keep belt moving. And thick belts tend to hold additional heat which decreases belt life. So don’t be lured by impressive belt sizes. Just choose a belt that you can comfortably run on and nothing more. The standard 18”x 52” belt is enough for most runners.

Those are ways you can save money on treadmills. Hopefully, you found it enlightening and would use it to avoid some, if not all, of these marketing traps.

In conclusion we now know that we can make some small changes in our daily routines that can result in some big changes in our health. It is recommended that everyone involve themselves in some type of exercise program coupled with accidental exercise activities. Accidental exercise is most beneficial when performed in addition to a planned weekly exercise program
