Cheap Treadmills

A high quality treadmill should have a motor with at least 2.5 continuous horsepower (CHP), and even models with a lower price tag will generally have this. The walking pad or track should be at least 50cm wide and 120cm long for comfortable striding, and have good cushioning to reduce impact on joints. Features like preset workouts and adjustable auto incline levels can add variety to your cardio workouts.

When looking for the right treadmill for your home, space will likely be a factor. like a lot of home exercise equipment, treadmills take up a fair bit of space. If you can find a foldable treadmill in your price range, you’ll be able to pump out a good workout before discreetly folding it away to turn your home gym back into your living room.

An incorporated LCD screen that displays workout data like speed, distance, and heart rate is a useful inclusion, as is a cradle for your phone or tablet so you can stream workouts or easily track fitness goals on your own devices.

Regularly lubricating the running belt with a silicone-based lubricant can prevent premature wear and tear. It's a good idea to wipe down the belt and frame after each use and to avoid overloading the treadmill beyond its weight capacity.

When buying a cheap treadmill, look for models with at least a 1-year warranty on parts and labour. Some budget treadmills have 2 or 3-year warranties, providing additional peace of mind.
