Why It's Important to Find a Treadmill That Folds Up A treadmill can help you reach your goals, whether you're training for a race, or just need to squeeze in an exercise session. It is important to select one that folds to save space. To fold up a treadmill, first lift the deck towards the display. Then, carefully close the latch knob to ensure it is secured. Compact Design Foldable treadmills can be tucked away under the bed in a closet, or under a bed when not in use. They offer plenty of space for running. They're typically less expensive than treadmills that fold, and can allow you to stay active even when the weather is bad or you're busy. Think about your fitness goals and how you intend to utilize the treadmill. Certain treadmills are designed for walking, whereas others allow light jogging and even short runs. If you're looking to do an exercise that involves running or higher speeds, it's important to determine the treadmill's speed range and motor size before making a purchase. Non-folding treadmills tend to be heavier and more stable at higher speeds. They can also be less stable, particularly when used by runners who test themselves to the max. When choosing a treadmill that folds, look for a model that has safety features, such as an emergency stop button, to ensure that you can easily shut it down should you lose control of the machine. Choose a treadmill with a powerful motor, and a large deck should you decide to purchase a foldable one that is safe for runners. A 2.5 horsepower motor is adequate for casual joggers or sprinters. Serious runners, however, should choose an engine that has at least 3.5 horsepower to ensure that they can run at high speeds comfortably. Additionally, you should look for a treadmill that includes built-in cushioning to lessen the strain on your knees so that you can run for long periods of time without fearing injury. Convenient Storage When you're not using your treadmill, it should be able to fold it up. Most treadmills that fold are equipped with wheels that allow them to be easily removed to make space for other activities. For instance, when your kids arrive at home from school, or when guests arrive later. Non-folding treadmills typically need more space because they are designed to be permanent fixtures in your home. Although many treadmills that fold up are designed for smaller areas, they do not skimp on features or performance. The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 treadmill, for instance, folds quickly thanks to a patented EasyLift mechanism. This treadmill also boasts the 3.5 CHP motor, and both a 15% incline and 3 percent decline to help increase your fitness. Sunny Health & Fitness also offers the SF-T7632, a folding treadmill. It is easy to keep in a cupboard, or under a desk, and is still an extremely comfortable running surface. Its small size and sturdy design makes it an excellent option for those who are seeking a little exercise while at work or watching TV. If you're considering purchasing a treadmill foldable make sure you look over the product's description for specifics about how it can be folded up and stored. It is also important to take a look at the frame's weight and dimensions along with other transport features such as wheels for transportation and carry handles built-in. Travelle Gaines, a personal trainer at Blocks Nutrition in Los Angeles, informs PEOPLE that one of the biggest obstacles to being active is the lack of time, which makes a treadmill that folds perfectly for busy people. She says the folding treadmill lets people to run before or after work, or even during lunch. Easy to operate The most effective treadmills that fold can be operated easily regardless of whether they are used for a quick run or a leisurely workout at home. Check for a console with clear, easy-to-use controls, such as buttons for speed and incline or built-in touchscreen programming, says Victoria Brady, an ACE-CPT for fitness brand Fyt. If you plan to power walk, look for an engine that's between 2.0-2.5 horsepower. If you're an avid athlete, select one that is able to support running routines. A good treadmill foldable should also come with wheels that make it easier to move it around your space, according to Sydney Bueckert, an NASM-CPT and lead in-house trainer at Sunny Health & Fitness. “It's a lot easier to take off and on the machine with wheels, so you don't need to worry about moving it by yourself.” You should also look for models that come with extra features such as ports for USB cables, headphone jacks and an accessory for your device. The Echelon Auto-Fold Connected Treadmill for instance, comes with a bright and crisp display that shows a ton of motivational statistics and allows you to connect to fitness apps and track your heart rate, among other things. Other features to consider are the safety clip, which stops the treadmill from running if someone steps onto the treadmill while it's running as well as the deck automatically folds to a 45-degree angle once you lift it off the bottom of the treadmill. Also consider a model with gas shocks, which allows the deck to lower slowly and gently, instead of crashing into the ground (like some models do without this technology). You should ensure that your new treadmill is in compliance with the safety requirements of the locale to operate it. Safety When choosing a treadmill that folds up, make sure it has safety features. Most folding treadmills have an safety lock that locks the deck in place when it is in storage mode. This feature helps to prevent accidental release of the deck while the treadmill is being used and also helps keep children from operating the machine. A power cord lock is an additional important safety feature. This will ensure that the treadmill has been turned off and out of reach at the end of every exercise. This is especially important if you have kids who might be enticed to turn the treadmill on or play with the cords. If the treadmill is not properly turned off and locked after every use, it may be accidentally turned on or children may accidentally pull the cord and cause the treadmill to speed up. It is also important to ensure that the treadmill is away from objects such as drapes or curtains that could accidentally hang close to the treadmill while using it. This could increase the chance of accident and cause a trip-hazard. In addition it is recommended you wear the right shoes when running on treadmills. This will help to lower the chance of slipping over objects in your home, and will help you maintain the same pace when walking or running on a treadmill. It is also a good idea to fold up the treadmill and secure it prior to leaving it in a public place such as the gym or at school. This reduces the chance of injury for other patrons and students who are not familiar with the treadmill's operation or the level of noise in a busy area. Stability A treadmill that folds has a lower center of gravity than one that does not fold which makes it more stable. It is less likely to fall over and cause injuries if you step on the treadmill or lean back too much. It takes up less room, which is important when you live in a tiny apartment or a home. A treadmill that folds up is also easier to transport. This can be a big benefit if you plan to take it with you on workout trips or business travel. It is also a good idea for you to choose a folding treadmill with wheels and a handle for carrying. This will make it easier to move around. When you are choosing a treadmill that folds up it is important to think about its speed range and incline functionality. If you plan to run on the treadmill with a maximum speed of about 7.5 mph is likely sufficient. If you are a competitive athlete then you might require a motor with greater speed. You should also ensure that the treadmill can be folded and unfolded quickly. Some models require two people to collapse however, others can be folded by one person. The instructions for folding the most effective treadmills must be clear. It is also important to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer for regular maintenance and cleaning of the treadmill. While foldable treadmill with incline that fold are easy to use and store, others can be difficult to navigate. Always read the manual thoroughly to fully comprehend how the machine operates. You should then try using the machine before deciding if it is appropriate for your fitness requirements.
