Easy, unfold your motorized treadmill from the cupboard under the stairs, plug it in & start jogging! The whole family can use them too - perfect!
Note: Measure up before you choose your treadmill. Try to allow at least the same space as a single bed, with half a metre on each side of the treadmill deck.

Features of your motorized treadmill

• Belt: The 'track' of the treadmill, with the 'surface' being the top side of the belt
• Console: The controls on the front panel of the treadmill for selecting exercise programmes & delivering workout data throughout the exercise
• Programmes: Many treadmills have pre-set workouts that target specific goals like fat loss or target heart rate - you can also purchase motorised treadmills that store your personal routines & programmes keep you motivated and help you achieve your fitness goals
• Incline: Inclines can be altered manually or electronically - a manual incline, means you have to stop the machine, get off and then changed the incline manually, these treadmills are less expensive than motorised incline treadmills
  An electronic powered incline is the most popular, where you can adjust the incline using up and down arrows on the treadmill console - this can be done even during your workout allowing you to vary the workout intensity & a typical incline range is 0-10%, although some will go as high as 15%
• Treadmill speeds: If you plan to walk on your motorised treadmill, a 3-6mph speed should be sufficient - if you plan to jog or run, then a treadmill that will go to at least 10mph is required (8mph is an average jog/run speed), some treadmills go as fast as 15mph (4 minute mile)
• Heart monitors: These monitor your heart rate so that you can stay within your age related heart rate zone, this will guarantee maximum benefits from your workout
