Treadmills are a popular piece of equipment for those looking to improve their cardiovascular fitness and overall health.

  • Make sure the treadmill is on a level surface and that it is not placed near any obstacles that could cause tripping.
  • Before using the treadmill, make sure to read the instruction manual and familiarize yourself with the control panel and safety features.
  • Start with a slow speed and gradually increase as you become more comfortable.
  • Always hold onto the handrails when getting on and off the treadmill.

Common Treadmill Injuries and How to Prevent Them

  • Sprained Ankles: This injury can occur when the foot hits the edge of the treadmill belt or when the foot slips off the side of the treadmill. To prevent this, make sure to always wear appropriate athletic shoes with good support and cushioning, and to keep your feet centered on the treadmill belt.
  • Knee Pain: This injury can occur due to overuse or improper form. To prevent this, make sure to use proper form and to not overdo it when it comes to treadmill use.
  • Lower Back Pain: This injury can occur due to poor posture and lack of core strength. To prevent this, make sure to maintain good posture and engage your core muscles while using the treadmill.
  • Treadmill Burn: This injury can occur due to friction between the skin and the treadmill belt. To prevent this, make sure to wear appropriate clothing and to use a towel to protect your skin.

Proper Treadmill Form and Technique

  • Keep your head up and look forward, not down at your feet.
  • Keep your shoulders relaxed and your arms at your sides.
  • Keep your hands lightly on the handrails, do not grip tightly.
  • Keep your feet centered on the treadmill belt and avoid letting them hang off the side.
  • Keep your feet pointed straight ahead and avoid crossing your feet.
  • Keep your knees slightly bent, do not lock them.
  • Keep your core engaged, and maintain good posture.

In conclusion, using a treadmill is a great way to improve cardiovascular fitness and overall health. However, it is important to use treadmills safely to prevent injuries. By following the tips for safe treadmill use, being aware of common treadmill injuries and how to prevent them, and maintaining proper treadmill form and technique, you can reduce your risk of injury and enjoy a safe and effective workout. Remember to always consult with a doctor before beginning any new exercise regimen.

Endurance Athlete Treadmill- Space Saving High Quality + Incline
Rick (Wollongong, AU)
Endurance Athlete - great so far

So far so good. I had a good experience with ordering and receiving multiple personal phone calls to discuss the product and advise when it would be delivered.
Easy set up and the instructional booklet is decent. Works great with the Fitshow App.
There's only just enough oil to lubricate the belt for the first month of use. Good options exist on Amazon which have a syringe and extension tube to get the oil to the right spots.
It's quiet and so far I'm very pleased with it after a month

Impressive Quality For Treadmill That Folds Flat

I've been extremely impressed with the Endurance Athlete Model Treadmill. Living in a small apartment, I was worried about finding a treadmill that offered the performance I wanted without taking up too much space, but this treadmill has exceeded my expectations. It provides the performance of a much larger treadmill which is impressive. My favourite feature is how easily it folds away. Being able to store it flat under the bed or against a wall is a huge advantage, especially when space is limited. Unlike other compact treadmills I've tried, there is absolutely no compromise on stability, quality, or performance. If you're living in an apartment or simply don't have room for a bulky treadmill, I highly recommend this treadmill

T.C.

Mine is brand new and under warranty and is already playing up with the inclined and decline not working properly and not corresponding to the digital display. Spoken to Supplier they requested alot of videos and explanations via whatsapp,told me they will send a technician out instead of supplying a new machine ,I have now been waiting for over a month for a a tech to come and fix ,was told 14 days max wait time.Had to contact them again and now been told technician was busy and now going to send another ???
Apart from that this Tredmil would be a great if it worked properly and the customer services was more effective.

Endurance SPT Treadmill Voted Best Treadmill By Body and Soul
David Ashurst (Canberra, AU)
GREAT TREADMILL - ENDURANCE STP

I bought the STP treadmill for my wife and I because we were sick of making excuses as to why we couldn't go for our daily walk - too hot, too cold etc., etc.! One of the best decisions we have made, as we can now enjoy walking no matter what the weather is and in the safety of our own home. The STP model has all the features and programmes to suit our senior age . Delivery was fast and the treadmill was easy to assemble.
