2011 Treadmill “Best Buy” Awards











Powell, TN (PRWEB) January 12, 2011

Fred Waters is recognized as an industry expert on treadmill brands and models and is the author of the Treadmill Ratings and Reviews Site. Each year, he offers his recommendations for “Best Buy” treadmills.

There has been several interesting trends in the treadmill industry. First, most treadmills have improved in quality, and you can see that trend reflected in longer warranty coverage. Second, you tend to get more for your money. Treadmills generally have longer decks, larger motors and more features than their predecessors. Finally, several manufacturers are incorporating innovative technology into their treadmills. The results are features designed to motivate you in achieving your fitness goals and overcome the boredom of walking or running in place.

2011 “Best Buy” Treadmill Recommendations:

Under $ 1,000 – Smooth 5.65

Smooth has always had a strong contender at the competitive $ 999 price range. The Smooth 5.65 is no exception. In addition to being a very durable machine for the price, it has the longest service warranty at $ 999 – 2-years. Smooth is known for building low maintenance treadmills.

$ 1,000 – $ 1,500 – NordicTrack Commercial 1750 and Sole F80

NordicTrack is a subsidiary of Icon Fitness, the largest fitness equipment company in the world. Due to economy of scale they can offer more for less. The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is a perfect example. You get a large 3.5 HP motor, 60″ running surface, 3″ rollers, and a 7″ full color touch screen display. In addition, the Commercial 1750 is iFit Live capable, allowing your treadmill to communicate with the Internet. With iFit Live you can get personalized workout routines with audio coaching, track your results online, and simulate running trails and roads virtually throughout the world through Google Maps™.

The Sole F80 has been a “Best Buy” choice for several years because it is a very durable machine with an impressive service record. It is designed to take a beating. For 2011 they extended the treadbelt on the F80 to 60″ to better accommodate the longer stride of runners.

Both the Commercial 1750 and the Sole F80 come with a lifetime motor, 5-year parts and 2-year labor warranty.

$ 1,500 – $ 2,000 – NordicTrack Elite 9500 PRO

The NordicTrack Elite 9500 PRO is designed to overcome the biggest obstacle to getting in shape and losing weight – boredom. In addition to having impressive features like a 3.8 HP motor, a 22″ x 60″ running surface, 3″ rollers, iFit Live, and the ability to decline the deck 3%, you get a 10″ full color touch screen equipped with an Internet browser. You can stream videos from NetFlix, catch up on the news or sports, read your email, and listen to music from Pandora.com right on your treadmill.

$ 2,000 – $ 2,500 – Sole F85

While the Sole F80 can take a beating, the Sole F85 is designed to be abused, which makes it ideal for serious runners. The user weight limit is listed at 400 lbs., which reflects the confidence the company has in the durability of this treadmill. The 2011 Sole F85 comes with a wider 22″ treadbelt.

$ 2,500+ – Landice L7 Pro Sports Trainer

Landice sells industrial strength treadmills that are built like a tank. Their Landice L7 Pro Sports Trainer is a commercial grade machine sold for residential use. Just how heavy duty are Landice Treadmills? The lifetime parts warranty is a good indication. This is a treadmill that you can pass on to your next generation.

Walking Will Help You Lose Weight

Many people may discount the fact the walking to lose weight is possible.  Though many people think that walking does not help in the weight loss process they are completely wrong.  The fact is that our bodies were made for walking and sprinting.  The problem is however that most of us have jobs that require us to set down on our butt all day.

Are You Interested In Losing Weight?

If you are interested in walking to lose weight there are a few things that you can do that will help you walk your way to shedding all those pounds.  The great thing is that everyone has the time need to get in walking workout.  When you think about it if you park your car further from you office or took the stairs inside of the elevator you would be getting the extra steps in needed for some additional calories to be burned off.

Benefits of Walking

Not only well walking help you to lose weight but it will also help with you getting into better shape.  Walking will help to completely transform your body and health.  Walking to lose weight will also lower your blood pressure, better chances of preventing breast cancer and reducing the risk for heart disease.

Walking Routines to Lose Weight

Treadmill On Incline

There are several things you can do in order to lose weigh by walking.  The first is walking on a treadmill but instead of just walking put the treadmill on an incline.  Adding an incline to the treadmill will help you burn almost as much calories as someone who jogged without an incline depending on your speed.  If you don’t have a treadmill try walking outside on a hill as this will give you the same effect as the treadmill.

Take the Stairs Not the Elevator

Another great exercise for losing weight is walking stairs.  Walking up stairs is a great way to burn an increasingly amount of calories. Walking up and down stairs are great for your legs and butt and if you use them instead of taking the escalator or elevator you could easily burn up to an extra 500 calories per day.

Treadmill Desks to the Rescue: Weight Control and Activity Critical in Preventing Heart Failure

Treadmill Desks to the Rescue: Weight Control and Activity Critical in Preventing Heart Failure











Treadmill Desks Reduce Risk of Heart Failure


Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) December 23, 2008

Adding to a growing body of evidence that is urging American’s to exercise more, study results released in the December 23rd issue of Circulation further emphasized the need to exercise as much as possible during the day. Challenged by sedentary job structures most Americans fall far short of the minimum recommended guidelines of physical activity. Treadmill desks offer a unique solution which allow the majority of American employees strapped to their desks to move throughout the day and preserve their health.

Lead researcher, Dr. Satish Kenchaiah stated “even a little amount of physical activity appears to decrease the risk of heart failure.” The study focused on 21,000 doctors over a twenty year period measuring factors such as weight, physical activity and their effect on the body’s ability to pump blood efficiently. Declines in this efficiency often signal an increased risk of major coronary events.

Previous studies had shown that overweight individuals who engage in regular exercise have less heart risk than normal weight individuals who are sedentary however this most recent study illustrates the need to both stay active and lose excess pounds.

The study found a 49% increase of heart failure in overweight men (BMI: 25-29) compared to those with a body-mass index of 25 or less. Obese men (BMI > 29.9) experienced a 180 percent increased risk of heart failure. Alarmingly a 5 foot 10 inch man raises the risk of heart failure by 11% for every 7 pounds over his optimum weight.

The good news is that physical activity has an impact on these risk factors. Mildly active study participants (1-3 times per month) reduced their risk of heart failure by 18%. More active participants (5-7 times per week) reduced their risk factors by 36 percent.

“American’s are caught in a disheartening cycle of inactivity at work and home, weight gain, compounding health risks, stress and guilt that decay their quality of life and add billions to the cost of health care annually,” stated Steve Bordley of TrekDesk.com. “We need to recognize the overwhelming body of evidence showing the root of the problem is inactivity and offer employees a means of moving throughout the day. This research showed the dramatic impact of even small amounts of exercise, imagine the health benefits if an employee could walk all day while working.”

Treadmill desks offer such an opportunity. Designed to fit an existing treadmill, TrekDesk allows employees the opportunity to increase productivity, energy levels, mood, lose weight and restore their health during office hours.

Celebrate American Heart Month with a Treadmill Desk

Celebrate American Heart Month with a Treadmill Desk











Treadmill Desk from TrekDesk


Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) January 29, 2009

Beginning in 1963 Congress mandated the President to proclaim February as “American Heart Month”. Typically this is the month of the largest funding drives for the American Heart Association and when most Americans are reminded about the causes of heart disease. A critical component to heart health and the biggest challenge facing most Americans is acquiring sufficient amounts of daily physical activity to combat the onset of heart disease. Treadmill desks represent a unique solution that allows individuals the opportunity of obtaining sufficient amounts of heart healthy exercise while still completing their work responsibilities at the office.

Treadmill desks are currently in use at many Fortune 500 companies and small businesses across America. The current challenge for most employees is finding a solution that is affordable since some treadmill desks retail between $ 4,500 and $ 6,000.

A treadmill desk manufacturer based in Phoenix, AZ is releasing a product that offers some unique benefits, priced at 1/10 the cost of comparable models. TrekDesk is a full sized, height adjustable workstation designed to attach to an existing treadmill.

“We originally designed TrekDesk to be used by small businesses and home office users but have had significant interest from corporate users as well due to cost efficiencies.” states Steve Bordley, owner of TrekDesk. “Allowing users to add TrekDesk to an existing treadmill or to select a specific brand of treadmill has many distinct advantages. First, the cost basis is much lower. TrekDesk also offers users the opportunity of capitalizing on the incline features of a treadmill, the other treadmill desks do not offer this feature. In essence an employee can burn 2x the amount of calories walking at the same slow speed while working. An added benefit for home users is the dual use capacity of the treadmill, they can walk during their work day and use it later as a running machine if they so choose.”

The heart healthy benefits of daily walking are well documented. Previous studies have shown that overweight individuals who engage in regular exercise have even less heart risk than normal weight individuals who are sedentary however more recent studies spotlight the need to both stay active during the day and lose excess pounds.

“Chairs are the enemy,” states Bordley, “once employers realize this and adopt measures to keep their employees moving during the day they will see a boost in productivity and a decrease in sick days and health care costs. Many companies are rotating employees on two hour shifts to treadmill desks, the health benefits are becoming obvious.”

Daily use of a treadmill desk can also help prevent many major diseases, increase productivity, boost mood, and restore health. “People seem to focus most on the weight loss achieved by using a treadmill desk which can be significant however the health restorative, mental and mood enhancing benefits are significant as well,” states Bordley.

Will the Treadmill Help Me to Lose Weight?

Posted on by
Reply

Some people ask the question “Will the treadmill help me to lose weight?” and the answer is a resounding YES

The simple reason why is because it involves running, and running is a fantastic way to burn calories and lose weight.

However, that’s where the similarities end because indoor running on a treadmill is quite different to outdoor running both physically and mentally as well as how it can fit in with your lifestyle.

Three reasons in particular why using a treadmill can help you to lose weight when compared to outdoor running are:


1.   Greater flexibility and consistency

You can train at home or in the gym, and in all weather conditions so there are no excuses to miss a run.

No matter what the weather is like, whether it’s hot, cold, wet, or windy, you can always jump on your treadmill and complete nearly any run that you could have done outdoors.

This can help you to keep running consistently and keep losing weight rather than being put off by poor weather conditions.


2.   More distractions

Some people like to concentrate on exactly how their body feels and how well they’re performing during a run whereas other people feel better when they are distracted and can “cut off” from the difficulty of running.

With a treadmill, whether you’re at home or in the gym, you can watch television or listen to music or the radio which can help take your mind off the running.

Depending on your personality this could make running seem easier which means that you can end up running longer or faster and therefore burn more calories than you would have without the distraction.


3.   Less intimidation

Some beginner runners prefer to use a treadmill and run indoors because they feel self conscious about people seeing them running outside.

This means they can start running and take advantage of its excellent weight loss and health benefits whereas maybe they wouldn’t have if treadmills weren’t available.

There’s no need to feel self conscious about running outside but even if you do a treadmill can help to build confidence and reduce any intimidation that you feel. Maybe you’ll progress to outdoor running in the future?

Just remember that you’re trying to make a huge difference to your life by losing weight so try not to worry about what other people think.

You can also feel good and confident in the knowledge that by using running to lose weight you can quickly become much fitter than most other people, regardless of your weight.


So which is the best for losing weight: treadmill running or outdoor running?

In the end it all comes down to your personal preference. They are both excellent ways to lose weight, and most of the running methods that can be done outside can also be used on a treadmill.

So now there’s no need to wonder about “Will the treadmill help me to lose weight?” because you know for sure that it will. It’s more a case of whether a treadmill is right for you.
