Treadmill
A treadmill is an exercise machine that allows a person to walk, jog or run in place by providing a moving running belt over a deck. The advantage of having a treadmill is that you can exercise any time of the day or night within the privacy of your own home.A simple treadmill can usually be folded away to slide under your bed or be stored away in a cupboard. The running belt wraps around rollers inside a raised deck. As you walk on the belt, your weight provides the friction needed for your feet to turn the belt over the rollers, allowing you to walk in place with the belt turning beneath you. Side rails provide safety support and the front of the treadmill is a raised console that supports the side rails and walking platform.
On a more advanced treadmill, the running belt would be motorized increasing the potential of the exercise, but it would be heavier and less likely to be portable. The speed at which it turns is adjustable, thereby allowing you to walk, run or jog. If you want to slow down, you must first adjust the speed of the belt.
