I’m looking to buy a new treadmill…anyone have suggestions for a good, inexpensive one? I don’t need the bells and whistles; just a sturdy, preferably quiet one that tracks distance, time, calories burned and is fold-able.
You really have to go to the store and try them out. You need to speak to the salespeople to get the lowdown on each one and decide what you do want and what you can do without. You also need to try them out to see the sturdiness and the stride.
When I was looking for a treadmill about 5 years ago, one brand that I saw was Nordictrac. After seeing that brand of treadmill, I thought about the ski machine and I eventually got one instead. I find several advantages to the ski machine:
1) much lighter in weight. A treadmill is 250-300 pounds. Nordictrac is about 40 pounds.
2) it makes less noise, especially to a person living underneath. a treadmill makes a loud pounding sound to those underneath you.
3) less impact on the knees.
4) price – I got a used Nordictrac in good condition on craigslist for $40. Used treadmills go for more, and a good new treadmill can be upwards of $500 (I got one about ten years ago). And then you have to schlep it (see item 1 above).
sole.com model # f65 its just about $1000 its amazing i just got it and it works gr8
Go 2 better health….we got a very good one from their….
Look at COSTCO. on line as well
check out sears
check out proform.com
Get a stairclimber. Your workout will be faster, and the motion tones your core at the same time.
pro-form makes several brands including weslo (avoid), proform, and nordictrac (they bought the brand name from the ski machine company)
they are of different levels and prices
