Treadmills ‘popular and effective’ for shaping up

Treadmills could be the perfect home fitness equipment for members of the military hoping to stay in peak condition, a source has said.

Top Rated Treadmills pointed out that the machines remain the most popular home fitness equipment in the world and with good reason, as they can help to build endurance without forcing the user to go outside.

As well as enhancing any walking, jogging or sprinting exercise, the source said that treadmills are also easy to fit into small rooms, as many can be folded up and hidden away.

"High-quality treadmills provide exceptional cushioning to limit the impact on knees, ankles, hips and lower backs. Running or walking on a treadmill is also an effective way to work out compared to other more complex cardiovascular exercises," it said.

Meanwhile, a post on the Healthy Living blog recently said that military men and women can get the most out of a treadmill workout by keeping good posture as they run.
