Fitness experts are always debating what is the “Best at Home Exercise Equipment” to have. Well it will always be debated and much of it is personal preference but my favorite at Home Exercise Equipment is the treadmill. There is a reason why there is a line at the gym waiting to use a treadmill. They work!
The act of running itself is fantastic, but with running you have many variables, (i.e. rain, potholes, stranger danger, and the occasional scary animal). Many people associate running with injuries and joint issues, and unfortunately this can be true of running outside due to the high impact on your joints and muscles.
With a treadmill, you are able to take all of those variables away, and still have the purest form of cardiovascular exercise in your own home. Running on a treadmill allows you to control your environment with cushioned and flat running surface. Treadmills also are able to accommodate any fitness level from the first day you begin, to training for a 5k. There is no learning curve involved at any time with exercising on a treadmill. That fact alone makes this a perfect machine. Many people will get frustrated quickly with a piece of equipment they are uncomfortable or unable to use. On a treadmill, all you must do is walk and you are “working out”. No need for a trainer, instructions, or nerves.
Treadmills are not cheap but look at it as an investment into yourself and your health…..priceless.
