Getting Cheap Treadmills For Sale

By Anthony Nderi

A treadmill is perhaps the most effective home Cardio exercise equipment that you can get. A brand new machine, suitable for light exercise, may cost you up to $1,000. However, you should not be discouraged from looking for a used machine that you can afford. Simply look for cheap treadmills for sale, and you can enjoy your daily workout from the comfort of your home. Here is a guideline that you can use to select a treadmill for your home-use.

Ensure that the machine is in good working order

A used treadmill will have been subjected to some degree of wear and tear. Make sure you have a machine in good working order by:

• Inspecting the motor of the treadmill - The motor is the heart of the machine, and you need to make sure that it will give you service for a reasonable length of time, before it needs any major repairs. Give the machine a test-run, and listen carefully to the sounds emanating from the motor. A motor should run smoothly, with no screeching noises. If any untoward sounds are coming from the machine, then you should not buy it.

• Inspect the belt of the treadmill - This is the running surface on which you shall perform your exercises. You need to make sure that it will not break when you are in the middle of an exercise. Make sure that it is wide enough to accommodate your size. It should also have a stride length that will afford you comfort when you are exercising at a running pace.

• Ask about the weight limit - Treadmills are graded for particular weights. There are those that cannot support heavy weights and will break down quickly if the limit is exceeded.

• Consider the incline of the treadmill - A treadmill that has an adjustable incline, will allow you to vary the exercises that you perform, for better results.

Where to get cheap treadmills for sale

The best place to begin your search for such a treadmill is the Internet. Most people use online auction sites to sell products that they have already used. Visit exercise equipment suppliers and distributors, and see if they have any clearance sales of this equipment. Your local gymnasium may also be selling some of their old equipment, though you should be careful, since this equipment will have been subjected to more use, than that sold by individual owners.

Warranty and repair issues

When you are buying cheap treadmills for sale, you can expect them to have a shorter useful life, compared to a brand new model. If you are buying the machine from a gym, or hotel, you can expect it to have a greater share of wear and tear, as opposed to that used for private home use. Ask about any warranty, or repair arrangement that you can get from the seller. If you are buying the machine from your local dealership, they should automatically issue a warranty against fair-use damage. Treadmills are expensive to repair, so ask for a warranty lest you end up paying more than you would have, if you had bought a brand new machine.

Aerobics and Fat Loss

By Edward L Zigler

Starting an aerobics program has many benefits, one of which is that an aerobics program can help you burn fat in ways that are easier on your body, and usually more permanent, than dieting. One of the reasons it's very simple to burn fat using aerobics as exercise is that there are many ways for you to train your body to do the work involved in this sort of training. This helps you to get the most out of the training program that you are doing. For those who need to work on their cardiovascular health, aerobics can be a good way to begin. However, always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program.

The human heart beats approximately 60-80 times per minute at rest, and with every beat sends a volume of blood, along with oxygen and many other life-sustaining nutrients, circulating through your body.

Oxygen consumption and muscles

Oxygen is key because, once inside the muscle, it's used to burn fat and carbohydrates for fuel to keep our engines running. When your muscles consume oxygen efficiently, the more fuel you will burn. The more fuel you can burn, the more fit you can become. And the more fit you become, the longer you can exercise. As you bring new blood and oxygen into all of your body systems, you are going to find that you are giving yourself the best chance to really get rid of all that unwanted fat. Working hard to burn fat is something that you can finally take control of when you are doing aerobics on a regular basis.

All of the body's systems work hard to maintain body functions at a normal rate, and as you work harder your heart will have to work harder in order supply your muscles with more blood, and, thus, more oxygen. A hard working heart naturally means your lungs work harder in order to provide your heart with the oxygen that it needs to keep pumping. The circulating of the blood also carries much needed nutrients to the body's organs.

All of these factors are going to work in tandem to create a situation in which you are getting the most out of your entire work out. When all of these systems are working together, you'll find that you are much stronger than you thought you would be. Additionally, because your body is working harder you will notice that you are burning more and more fat since your body needs to burn more in order to keep moving and operate at a higher level. Luckily for you, this energy is in the stored pockets of fat that you have in your body. All of these things are going to happen quickly, and you will find that you are much better off the more you start to work out using aerobics more often.

This isn't just about a program or a "system." It's about a lifestyle. The exercise and diet that you implement should all be a part of a healthy lifestyle. Don't look for that "magic" pill or that perfect system. Most fad diets fail. Your mind should be set on doing what you have to do to live a healthy, more productive lifestyle.

Learn as much as you can about what foods to eat and what exercises to do. You don't need to pay hundreds of dollars for a trainer or nutritionist. There are many resources out there so use them.
