Bike and Treadmill Exercise Equipment

Features and functions.

There are many options available for anyone in the market for bike and treadmill equipment. Hundreds of styles, featuring a host of computerized options and price ranges, can be found with a simple search on the Internet.

However, a good rule of thumb is to try out any new gym equipment before buying. Only then can a purchaser determine if the bike and treadmill exercise gear is suited to their workout style and intensity.

Both bike and treadmill exercise equipment is available at department stores, but a first time buyer is better advised to make their purchase at a specialty fitness outlet, where knowledgeable staff can assist in making a decision.

A first time buyer of a treadmill may want to do a little research first to acquaint themselves with industry buzzwords like flywheel frame, treadmill rollers, decks, and continuous-duty horsepower ratings for motors.

In particular, a motor’s rating will matter greatly to the serious runner who will use their new treadmill machine rigorously.

What do you need?

A first time buyer of a stationary bike should look for comfort and design in both the handlebars and the seat. Many bikes also come with features like resistance programs, preset workout programs, and heart monitors.

Besides good quality construction, an exercise bike buyer may seek out extras like a reading stand and a bottle holder.

Many companies specialize in both bike and treadmill exercise equipment, like Nautilus, Schwinn, Sole, Bowflex and True. Prices will range from just under $275USD to well over $2000USD.

Each company comes with its strengths and weaknesses, so be sure to check out some online comparative reviews before laying down your cash.

Perhaps read some good quality health articles too, and be aware that this type of equipment is ideal for both womens health and teen health conscious people.
