The invention of treadmill has helped millions of people to jog
indoors. On a treadmill a person can walk, jog and run on different modes.
A person can get all kinds of outdoor experience with a single machine.
And more importantly it fits into a room.
Lets talk about how it works. It has a cushioning belt, a platform, a
motor and a wide range of features. We can direct its speed to increase or
decrease.
The cushioning belt is around 18 inches wide and 48 inches long. A tall
person requires a belt of at least 20 inches width and 54 inches length.
This should be very comfortable. Because on this belt you jog, walk or
run.
The matching motor, which rolls the belt, is another basic part of the
treadmill. A standard motor should have 1.5 horsepower. A very good motor
is of about 2 horsepower. You can alter the speed of the motor according
to your requirements. This kind of motor can work for hours and remains
workable for years.
Incline is another important part of the treadmill. By making the
treadmill inclined you can do calf workout and other cardiovascular
exercise.
The monitor displays various current stats of the machine as well as
the body. It shows time, body temperature, pulse rate, heart rate etc.
Through the monitor we can use various features and control the speed of
the treadmill.
