Treadmills for 2011 Reviewed and Rated by BestTreadmillsReviewed.net
Buying a home treadmill can be a confusing task - there are so many treadmills available and almost as many manufacturers.

To start with I would do a bit of planning. The first question I would ask you is what do you want the treadmill for? Is it for losing a bit of weight, is it for getting quite fit or is it for training for a marathon? Depending on what you want it for certain treadmills will be better for you than others. For example, if you are going to be walking or jogging on it once every other week, why go for an expensive treadmill with a powerful motor and a bunch of extra features that you won't touch? Alternatively, if you are going to be using it once or twice a day, you are going to need a robust machine that is going to be easy on your joints, especially your knees and ankles. A lot of mid range treadmills come with heart rate monitoring functionality, so that you can both make sure you are in your optimum heart rate range, and to make sure that you are not overdoing it!
Now that you know how often you are going to be using it and what you want it for, think about how much you would be willing to spend on it. For a basic treadmill that you are going to be using once a week you could get something fairly decent for around $500. If you are looking to use it a regularly and want a few extra features, such as incline, decline, pre programmed workouts, you are probably going to be spending around $700. If you want something that is going to come feature packed and will be easy on your legs - perhaps something that is integrated with it's own music system, that can use Google Maps to plot your run practically anywhere in the world, and that has a crystal clear screen that enables you to keep an eye on your workout stats, you will be paying around $1000+
Do not forget how big treadmills actually are! You will want to have enough room in your house for storing your treadmill. If room is a bit limited, you could look at fold up treadmills - these means you will have more room when you are not using it. Treadmills are also very heavy, so ask the delivery men to bring the package to the room you want the treadmill to end up in (and then thank them very nicely!). Once it is made you will not be able to move it to another room very easily, and in fact it might be much bigger than your doorway, meaning you would have to dismantle it just to move it - another great reason to put it together in the room you want to use it in.
If you are thinking of buying a treadmill from a store, be aware of hidden costs. Many stores charge anything from $100 - $300 just for delivery (and they do not always tell you!). If you are ordering on the internet you are likely to qualify for free delivery and save yourself some money and hassle.
