Did you know that NordicTrack Treadmills burn more calories than any other type of fitness equipment? Things to consider when buying a treadmill are price, motor, belt and deck, speed, cushioning, incline, control panels, heart rate monitors, frame, and hand rails.

The Price of a treadmill is determined by the motor size, deck and frame size and the quality of workout features in the console. For a reliable motor, look for a treadmill with at least 2.0 continuous-duty CHP (for walking) or 2.5 CHP (for running). The continuous-duty rating is the motor's true continuous horsepower, not just the "peak" horsepower. The width of the belt should be at least 18" to allow for a comfortable stride. All NordicTrack Treadmill belts are at least 20" wide and 55" long to accomodate all but the tallest runners and many NordicTrack Treadmills have 60" belts. NordicTrack treadmill belts are also two-ply. This makes them stronger and less likely to curl. Likewise, longer decks allow for a more comfortable stride.

Most treadmills run 0 to 10 mph. More serious treadmills for jogging or running getup to 12 mph. Some treadmills offer one-touch speed buttons to adjust speed quickly and easily and prevent runners having to stand on the side rails while they press and hold the speed up button. Cushioning is very important. Treadmills usually absorb some of the impact force of your feet. Some put cushioning in the belt and others use cushioning under the belt. NordicTrack Treadmills feature 3 adjustable cushioning types and 1 non-adjustable. Now, with virtually limitless settings, it's easier than ever to select the perfect cushioning for you. Whether you want a firmer, street-running feel, a softer, beach-like feel or anywhere in between.

The average incline range is 0% to about 10%. The most high-tech treadmills can raise the incline with the push of a button. Some higher end treadmills can reach up to a 12% incline, allowing you to burn more calories. NordicTrack Treadmills feature QuickIncline; that allows you to select the incline you want with one touch of a button instead of slowly scrolling to the right incline with an up or down arrow. Electronic feedback displays of speed, time, and distance are generally standard on most treadmills. Some also display calories burned, heart rate, incline or workout history. Most treadmills offer preset and/or custom programs you can design yourself. A Control panels can be just a simple display or fully programmable consoles with customizable workouts, Games and other high-tech features or anywhere between.

Many treadmills include some type of electronic heart-rate monitor. Chest-strap monitors tend to be the most accurate. Hand-grip sensors are very convenient heart rate monitors that enable you to stay in your target heart rate without having to stop and manually take a pulse. Many high-end NordicTrack Treadmills have heart rate programs that will monitor your heart rate and adjust the speed and incline of your treadmill to keep you in a target heart rate zone. When assessing the frame, avoid weaker materials and bolted frames. Low carbon, welded steel with a protective coating to avoid rust is the way to go. All NordicTrack Treadmills feature this heavy duty frame system. Some treadmills are designed with a handlebar in front, some with side rails. The location is a matter of preference.
