The History of Treadmills by Jennifer Dennis

The addition of the treadmill motor revolutionized the fitness machine.

Motorized treadmills give the user a superior workout compared to the manual

models. The addition of the motor can give a runner, jogger or walker the

encouraging component they need to take that next step…and next step…and next

step. Add the cushioning belt originally seen with the Woodway models in 1974

and you can see a rough version of our current-day fitness phenomena.

Technology has given modern-day fitness

treadmills an additional boost. Heart rate monitors on advanced models help

the user maintain a steady heart rate for optimal fitness workouts. When a user

indicates that he or she wants to maintain a specific heart rate, superior

machines will adjust speed and incline to keep it steady. With the technology

also comes the speed, overall distance covered, incline and time elapsed. These

technology monitors not only are informative, they often work as intense

motivation as the users run, walk or jog to their ultimate exercise goals.

Home treadmills have become a popular way for people to get in shape in the

privacy and comfort of their own homes. Gym treadmills tend to be more durable

and reliable than home versions. Due to the high number of people using the

machines, gym models have to be able to withstand many workouts. They offer a

range of superior, top-of-the-line features, while home versions can be more

reduced to give the home buyer a more affordable option. Gym versions are more

expensive, often rust-free aluminum frames and fully programmable. They should

also specialize in absorbing shock.

From its humble agricultural beginnings to its powerful presence in the fitness

world today, the treadmill has come a long way. Today, rather than working dogs,

sheep and horses, the treadmill works humans—helping them get one step further

to their personal fitness goals. If you’re interested in the fitness industry

and treadmills in general, learning more about this machine can enhance your

personal workout and fitness lifestyle.
