September 27th, 2009
If one decides to purchase a treadmill, then it is strongly suggested to buy an electric treadmill as they are of better quality than manual ones, however, with a higher price tag. Electric treadmills are powered by motor and usually runs up to 10 mph at an inclination factor of about 10-15%. The greater the inclination the more is the intensity of the workout.
Regarding the motor power, a minimum of 2HP is recommended for an effective workout. Other considerations, while looking for an electric treadmill, depend on the maximum weight that the equipment supports, maximum speed, noise factor, transportability and additional features offered.
