Aluminum treadmills on the other hand are more durable and a little more expensive than the steel treadmills.

7.Also make sure that your treadmill is equipped with all the safety features. Most of these safety features are automatic features that are very useful to a user working out all alone. For instance, the modern treadmills are equipped with automatically stoppage system for the time when a user slips from the treadmill deck. Besides, some treadmills come with child-lock system that wouldn’t operate unless you give a command.

8.The machine should also be equipped with adjustable and comfortable inclines that enables you to adjust the steepness of the hills according to your needs and capacity. Also see that the deck area of the treadmill is wide enough.
