•    Brand,

•    Running area,

Brand
When you are checking the treadmill prices, you have to pay utmost attention to the kind of brand that you will probably make your check out to. It is because a brand represents high quality, the level of service and ultimately your satisfaction.

Electronic or manual
If you have ever used a gym treadmill, then it was probably an electronic one. The electronic treadmills have built-in motors that run the mat on which you can walk on or run. Whereas, a manual treadmill is a treadmill that does not have an electronic motor and requires efforts to be put in by the user in order to work. 

Obviously, a manual treadmill is more reasonable than an electronic one but if you have the budget to buy the electronic treadmill then go for that.

Running area

It is important to know the area where the treadmill will be placed because no good can come out of exercising in a cramped area as it will make the treadmill less usable and more usable for drying your clothes on.
The larger the running area, the better!

Auto or manual incline

As you grow stronger by walking, one of the easiest ways to keep maximizing your strength is by increasing the intensity of your workout. 
Aside from the speed, a good way to increase workout’s intensity is to increase the incline. The higher the incline, the better the intensity!

On modern treadmills, there are two ways to adjust incline:
•    Manual
•    Automatic

Adjusting manually means physically adjusting the angle of inclination by adjusting the treadmill.
Whereas, automatic incline means that the angle of inclination can be adjusted with just a push of the button. 
From the perspective of using treadmills, the verdict is that automatic inclination is much better. 

Pre-built programs and pre-sets

Most of the treadmill online is expected to have pre-programmed routes and many other settings. Some of those settings are:
•    Running at high speed for 2km then slow speed for 2km then again speeding up.
•    Imitation of a terrain for 1km, then running on a flat surface.
•    Brisk walking at an incline for 20 minutes, then fast running for 20 minutes at constant speed.

The kind of programs that you will get on a treadmill will depend on the model and brand you purchase.

Power use

You wouldn’t feel great if the electric bill for running on a treadmill will cost you to lose some more weight. So, remember to check the amount of power the motor of your treadmill uses.

Supported weight

In case you are overweight, it is important to know just how much weight your treadmill can support. 

Price

Your budget is the key factor that matters the most in treadmill price. Depending on that you may see a number of options for purchasing treadmills.
Once you have your treadmill home, try new variations every day because doing the something each passing day will turn out to be boring.

Think we’re talking a load of nonsense? Let’s illustrate what we’re saying with an example.

Say, for instance, that one of your fitness goals is to build lean muscle mass. We know that the majority of muscles is made up of protein and that the body doesn’t keep stores of protein. It uses what it needs to, at the time, and then excretes the rest.

In order to promote the development of muscle, you need to consume protein – either through protein-rich foods such as hard-boiled eggs or lean chicken breasts or by taking a protein shake. If you don’t do this, or don’t consume enough protein in your diet, it will be very difficult for you to reach your goal of building the lean muscle mass that you want.

If you’re struggling to decide on what are the best nutrients you should be taking in to support your training goals, consult a registered dietitian or a nutritionist.
