What's So Great About Treadmills?

All Natural
For starters, walking and running are in our blood, activities as old as humanity. The rhythm centers us, brings us peace, and resets our body clocks.

Convenient
So why not just go for a walk? You can, and you should. Nothing beats the outdoors, unless it's raining, snowing, hot, dirty, noisy, or fat with traffic, not to mention the land mines left by neighborhood dogs. Commercial treadmills give you control of your environment to maximize both exercise and relaxation. No tripping over cracks in the sidewalk. No catcalls from passing drivers. And you can tailor your workout to be as strenuous as you choose.

Privacy
Home treadmills offer a private workout, and there are a thousand personal reasons to cherish that.

Risk Management
Walking and running are the most natural exercises, and do us the most good. The controlled impact improves bone mass, fighting off osteoporosis, particularly in women. At least thirty minutes a day reduces the risk of cancer, Type II diabetes, and a stroke. Exercise both forestalls the onset of Alzheimer's disease and delays its effects. Seniors who exercise consistently have sharper minds than those who don't. It's literally the smart choice.
