Select a treadmill that accommodates your stride with
an adequate length and width. The deck should be at least 18" x 53".
If you are a runner and tall, you may want to consider a "stretch"
model. The deck should have a reasonable amount of cushion for minimal
impact on your feet, ankles and knees. Premium model
Smooth 9.25HR Treadmill, with heart rate monitors, huge motors
and oversized decks would be an excellent choices.
Pinched for space and looking for a quality folding
treadmill in the mid-price range? One the best treadmill values is

and computerized programming. Incline control simulates an uphill
climb, while the electronics can be programmed to create a diversity
of running or walking experiences.

console, 2.5" rollers and hand grip pulse monitor. Great value

You'll want a treadmill with a motor that is
continuous duty with a rating of at least 2.0 HP. Continuous
duty motors give you constant maximum power. Non continuous
motors are unable to run smoothly for an extended period of
time. All the Smooth treadmills have at least 2.5 HP.
