TREADMILLS

The reason for the treadmill’s sudden popularity?

Older people like them because they want a low-impact activity, and a treadmill lets you walk, as well as run. On the other hand, they're also attractive to younger people, who view the treadmill as an alternative to jogging outside in unpleasant weather.

Convenience is also the main reasons. Some people finds home exercise more convenient. It's easier to hop on the treadmill than it is to try to get to the club, then sit around there waiting to use the equipment.

Another reason that retail purchases of treadmills are up is the increased popularity of walking as an exercise. While running has been a favored activity of Americans since the 1970s, walking has come into vogue in just the past five or six years, in part because it's a low-impact exercise that older or less-fit people can do easily. In addition, many people have gotten used to using the treadmills in their health clubs and YMCAs, leading them to want one for their homes. Whether you walk or run on a treadmill, it's an activity that has numerous physical benefits.

- Treadmills has great cardiovascular value for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system.
- Treadmills Is a very efficient way to lose body fat, and, since it's a weight-bearing activity, it has musculoskeletal benefits as well.
