What is the best brand of treadmill?

What kind of treadmill you need depends on several things:  who is using the treadmill, how much you are using the treadmill, what you are using the treadmill for (walking or running), and weight of people using the treadmill.  A good website for evaluating these factors and treadmill reviews is http://www.treadmilldoctor.com  They don't sell treadmills themselves, so they are objective.

www.billyblanks.com  for workout without machines\nwww.totalgym.com only if you are willing to buy it\n\nI have a total gym and it really is the best machine workout available. But if you are only interested in a body workout without using a machine I suggest Billy Blanks workout!

Hi there\n\nI have worked in fitness equipment retail for 8 years now and have a Bachelor of Physical Education.  To answer your question, it does not matter which peice of equipment you use as long as you're comfortable on it as all cardio equipment is mean't for weight loss or cardiovascular excercise.  Ellipticals are good because they are low to no impact while still providing weight bearing activity to keep the bones strong.  Problem with ellipticals is that you need to be able to put forth $2500 or more to get one that feels good, is biomechanically correct and can handle your "bigger" stature as you'll want something well built.  Recumbent bikes are much cheaper, will provide you with cardio/weight loss excercise and are easy to use. Ellipticals are more efficient than the bikes because you use your entire body meaning more calories expended over a shorter period of time.  People also tend to get bored on the bikes. My suggestion is to go to a gym and try them both before you buy. Last thing you want is to buy something that you don't like. As for a website, I am unsure of that. Try some of the fitness equipment manufacturing sites such as many times they will have helpful hints on buying the equipment. www.precor.com, www.iamstrong.ca (this one is more towards health and lifestyle and has testiomonials).\nHope this helps!

A good website for treadmill recommendations in various price ranges is http://www.treadmilldoctor.com  If you are not sure what your price range is, there is a questionnaire on that website about how you intend to use the treadmill to help you determine the appropriate price range.  For instance, a 150 pound person who intends to walk for 20 minutes 3 times per week doesn't need the same thing in a treadmill as a couple who both intend to run 2 hours daily on a treadmill.

I believe that running on a treadmill is better. You can pace yourself and keep better track of lap times and the speed at which you are running. Most of all, treadmills absorb alot of the shock of running which would be easier on your joints.

That entirely depends on your goals.  If your goals is to increase cardiovascular endurance, then the best machines for you are probably ellipticals, treadmills and stationary cycles.  If your goals are to increase strength and muscularity, then free weights, hammer strength and different machines that rely on resistance are more advisable.  \n\nI personally do not think there is one "best exercise machine" but rather a diverse set of tools is best to accomplish a specific goal whether cardio, stength or power.

There is no 'best' brand.\n\nAll the major brands (Nike, Adidas) have slightly different characteristics and fit differently.\n\nYour best bet is to go to a shoe shop with a really big range and assistants that know what they are talking about.  Plan to spend an afternoon trying different shoes and find one that fits well and suits your particular style of running.

I have worked out both on the revolution and the older bow flex model. Both are a great substitute for free weights. They both require they use of stabilizing muscles unlike most machine which in turn provide a better work out than most machines. If you cannot afford a gym membership I feel like this is the most economic solution. It is worth the price for for results.

There are several good ones. I personally like the Titleist SoLo and the Nike SuperSoft. A lot of people like the Maxfli Noodle. All of these have a soft feel and good distance.

Pros of treadmill: Treadmills are padded so they are better for your joints, you dont have to worry about the weather or crime, you can watch tv. You can control the incline which can give you better exercise at lower speeds (which means even less stress on your joints).\n\nCons: You end up watching more tv rather than getting outside and enjoying the fresh air and the real world. Treadmills are notorious for breaking, you should expect no more than 1 years worth of regular use before you throw it away. I cannot stress this last point enough. Expensive treadmills feel more natural but will not last any longer. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR SERVICE CONTRACT UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO THROW THE THING AWAY.\n\nI WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM.

The best brand is the brand that works for you. People have different results with different brands. What works good for somebody might not work as good for you. Try different brands, (give each brand a couple months for results), to see which one works best for you.....

I work for one of the  largest manufacturers. If you want a good quality treadmill, you are looking at $700 to $1000. If you hurry, we are clearing out our Nordic Track warehouses, and the scratch and dent units are being sold at cost or below. If you are looking for new with warranty, I really like the look of the Epic units @ CostCo.

Nike Bauer is by far my favorite brand.  I depend on them greatly while playing roller hockey, and they really make skating much more fun.\nBut it depends on which area of roller blading you plan on doing.\nFor men's hockey skates, I recommend visiting:\nhttp://hockeymonkey.com/inlineskates.html.\nOn the other hand, if you're planning on more outdoors skating, then I recommend:\nhttp://www.k2skates.com/.\n\nI hope this helped you.
