How to Choose a Treadmill?

How to Choose a Treadmill?

Question from Mas

Ok since I’m in the mood today (after changing my website’s layout alil…nice or not?), here a question from Mas:

  1. Q

    Hi…saya nak beli treadmill tapi tak tahu yang mana yang sesuai untuk kegunaan di rumah..pls kevin help me..target utama untuk fat burner dan cardio.

  2. A

    Thanks for the question Mas. Ok treadmills memang are the most popular cardio equipment around. Probably coz running is the easiest form of exercise and kita semua tahu caranya.

    So here for some practical buying tips

    • Make sure you have enough space kat rumah so that tak menyusahkan nanti.
    • Don’t go for the cheapest and don’t go for the paling mahal…choose the one that you are most comfortable with.
    • Make sure you get a motorized treadmill. Jangan2 the ones where you need to drive it pulak
    • Brandwise, I’d go for any US based brand like Reebok, NordicTrack or Life Fitness. All you can get in Malaysia from any Fitness Concept outlet. The Reebok RBK-T885 is their best selling treadmill.
    • Before buying, cuba test and run on the treadmill terlebih dahulu.
    • Saiz ukuran: Carilah yang panjang 115 cm dan 40 cm lebar.
    • Optional things to look out for: side railing, computerized programs, heart rate monitor, downloadable tracks/programs, MP3 dan lain2

  • Masturasan

    Dear Kevin,

    Setahun yang lepas berat saya 110kg.Selepas bekerja keras dengan diet dan workout(jogging,jumping on trampolin,walking)saya berjaya menurunkan sehingga 61kg.Tapi sekarang berat saya bertambah ke 70kg.So worried sebab saya keep on jogging and dieting but the weight keep on pounding.Adakah treadmill boleh membantu?Adakah saya perlu tukar rutin senaman?Betulkah lemak saya sudah tepu?
