Because of my quest to be healthy (really healthy) this year, the subject of investing on a treadmill has come up more than once. I work from home and do not know how to drive, so going to the gym is a negative (and there aren’t even gyms around our neighborhood). I have been reading on various nordictrack treadmill reviews to help us choose which model to buy.

Note that I am on a lookout for a quality and heavy duty home treadmill. There are a lot of cheaper ones in the market but I am concerned that 1) they will not be able to hold my weight 2) they do not measure heart rate and calorie burn accurately 3) they easily break down and repairing them would not be an option or will cost more than the initial buy. This is why we prefer to invest on quality treadmills even if they are slightly more expensive. I am sure it will be worth it.

Here are some guidelines I can share with you if you are on the lookout for a treadmill too:

NordicTrack T7.0 Treadmill1. Read as many nordic track treadmill reviews as possible. You can search online for real consumer feedback or customer reviews.
2. Decide the space available to you for putting up the treadmill. Treadmills are available in two types – folding and non-folding. In general, folding models come in a price range of $500 to $2000, with majority of them priced between $700 and $1500. For a normal workout, these machines are ideal and serve the purpose of regular exercising perfectly well.
3. Make that the buttons and controls are easy to read, easy to operate, and entirely user-friendly.
4. Find out the period of warranty for the treadmill and also the facilities for after sales service by the manufacturer/supplier in your area.

But most of all, make sure you use your treadmill!
