Space saving and Lightweight
Shopping for folding treadmills should include looking online at reviews and ratings. If your looking for a used one there are some good foldup models online at Ebay. Before you buy make sure and do your research and find the one that best fits your needs and budget.
The best ones that fold offer huge advantages over stand up heavy duty treadmills. One that folds whether it is used or new is going to save you a lot of space. They are lighter, much easier to move, and folds away conveniently in any room in the house or office.
Fold up treadmills come in two types, power folding models which foldup automatically by pushing a button and manual model where you do all the work when the it folds up.
The biggest advantage is that it saves you alot of space when your not using it. You can fold it up and roll it into a closet or an out of the way empty cubby space. You could even build a little closet for your foldup equipment that is out of eye sight of visitors.
The main concern found in reviews is the stability. Folding models are lighter and are best suited for walkers and some light jogging.
Some of the popular brands you will find at retailers include the proform model LX 660, and the proform 1.3 models. You might find a sale also on the weslo cadence ex 14, which is also sold at many retailers. You may also find a folding treadmill by sole. Sole manufactures and sells a lot of treadmills and other fitness equipment online.
Walking is considered one of the best, safest, and cheapest forms of exercise available. The Weather often makes walking very uncomfortable and some find it hard to stick to a fitness program. A foldup treadmill is an excellent piece of fitness equipment, I believe will help anyone stick to their program and enjoy all the benefits of exercising year round.
