Cheap Treadmills

There is a huge choice of cheap treadmills available to buy on online, some offer good value, and others are not quite so good. As a general rule, you usually get what you pay for, and the durability and comfort of an expensive treadmill will really help you get the most out of your running experience.

They also have all the bells and whistles as far as functions go, such as speed control, inclines, and different running programs to test your fitness.

The other types of treadmills are the home based versions. These vary in price from around £100 to £3000. The cheapest treadmills are usually driven by your own power and the belt you run on is of a low quality. The more expensive the treadmill, the more functions it will have, such as calorie counters and spped control. The less expensive treadmills will just basically be a belt to run on, and as your ability increases you may find you need to change machines to cater for your progress. This is where you will find a need for a new treadmill, so it is always worthwhile thinking what your specific goals are when you go to buy your first treadmill.

Buying second hand will give you the cheapest prices, but always make sure you know what to look for in a second hand treadmill as far as condition and wear and tear goes, you don't want to buy a poor quality machine and waste your cash.
