Home Treadmills

Complete Your Home Gym with a Treadmill

If you’re looking to stay in shape, then a home gym is a great way to do it. A central part of your new home fitness setup should include a home treadmill. These exercise machines are a great way to burn calories, increase endurance, or help you train for a half or full marathon. They can be used as a part of your cross-training regimen too along with an elliptical, rowing machine, or exercise bike.

Abt has models from top brands such as Horizon Fitness, Spirit Fitness, Life Fitness, Matrix, and more. Treadmills are affordable too, especially when compared to the costs of maintaining an annual gym membership.

The Benefits of Owning

Of course, when you have a home treadmill that means you’re not paying for an expensive gym membership. It also means you have 24-hour access to your exercise equipment. This motivates many people to continue their workout programs.

There are many benefits to daily physical activity. Using a home treadmill helps people maintain their weight or shed unwanted pounds. Exercise is also a great way to relieve stress. When we get active regularly, we tend to sleep and eat better too. Running on treadmills puts less stress on joints than on paved streets. You’ll find heart health benefits jogging here as well.

Walking or jogging for 20 minutes every day helps you reach the recommended goal of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity every week. High-intensity interval training, or HIIT, is also possible. This type of cardio alternates between intense anaerobic exercise and less intense recovery periods. This type of exercise gets the heart rate up quickly and burns calories faster too. It also increases your metabolism rate. Of course, a treadmill isn't only used for HIIT workouts, you can walk on one and get your exercise that way. One of the great things about this type of equipment is that you can use them to tailor your workout to your specific needs.
