🏃 Treadmill Guide

⚙️ Motor Power (AGM/HP)

Motor power is stated in two ways: continuous (AGM) and peak. Choose according to continuous, because peak is only short-term.

📏 Belt Dimensions

• Width: 40 cm — walking only; 45–50 cm — comfortable for running; 50+ cm — for a longer stride.
• Length: 120 cm — for walking; 130–150 cm — for running; 150+ cm — for fast running or a taller person.
• Cushioning: it should absorb impact but not be "too soft" (then instability is felt).
• Maximum weight: the manufacturer's stated weight must exceed your weight with a margin.

🛡️ Safety and Use

• Use the safety key (it stops the belt if you have an accident).
• Start and finish with 5 min. of walking.
• Do not use the edges — hold the handrails only for balance, not with your full weight.
• Running outdoors and on a treadmill are different: on a treadmill there is no wind or uneven surface, so the pace feels easier.
• Do not place the treadmill on a carpet that slips; a hard, level surface is better underneath.

💡 Practical Tips

For beginners: 20–30 min. alternating walking and running (1 min. running, 2 min. walking). After 3–4 weeks, move on to running with short breaks. Calorie expenditure depends on weight and pace — you can find reference figures in the calorie search, and track your heart rate according to heart rate zones.
